So I went to see my friend Thames today. I couldn't go without looking him in the eye one last time. I know I said before that there's no saving him from the path he's going down, and I was right, but damn it I have to try. I care too much to just leave him to a life of Hell.
Anyway when I got to his place and went in (he didn't answer the door but it was unlocked so I just walked in) I was disgusted to find Mad Dave asleep on the couch. It's a couch I've slept on many times before, after partying with Thames or just staying up most of the night playing video games with him. It was like he'd replaced me already. When Thames walked in, all drunk looking (I didn't get to smell his breath but he sure looked like it) I sarcastically said to him "I suppose I'll find Ed-Legs cooking breakfast!" But he just said "wuh"? in a dull-minded way. It's so depressing. He used to be nearly as smart and quick as me.
I told him again that I was going away and that I might not come back. He said he was sure I would come back. I said I might not. He said he was sure I would. I said I was TELLING HIM I might not. He said that was dumb since my mom lives here. I said maybe I'll move her out to where I'm going (I won't, of course, that would be ridiculous.) He said sure. I said I've vauled his friendship for years and went to hug him (this was an attempt to smell his breath) but he pulled back and said he'd left eggs on the stove. I should have said "surely Ed-Legs will take care of it!" but he wouldn't have gotten it now. Mad Dave then told us to keep it down as he was trying to sleep. As soon as thames left the room, I marched straight out (without even saying anything to Mad Dave, he's not getting a goodbye out of me.) I'm definitely done with Thames this time.
