Today was a horrible day, but I knew I could always count on hopping online for some games with friends to pick me back up.
After I got home from work I headed upstairs to change into some comfier clothes almost immediately. Today couldn’t have been any worse. My boss blew up on me, I tried to stand my ground, I just wanted the day to be over. Before I left I sent a message to the group chat.
**Hey is everybody free to play tonight? Today was the worst**
Jake and Ryan texted back after a few minutes and said they would get on around six o’ clock, but it was a response from Brennan I wanted to read. I figured he must still be working himself and that’s why he hadn’t texted back.
I really looked forward to our nearly daily game sessions. Jake and Ryan were hilarious when you got them into a party together. I loved them almost like distant brothers. Brennan on the other hand, I loved. He lives in some small town in Iowa, a state I had never even imagined thinking about before, and over the course of a few years I had grown to love him more and more. Part of me always wished I had the confidence to just come clean to him about it.
