"Fuck. Fuck fuck fuck!” He exclaimed and started to jump around the room, waking up his friend on the floor.
"Oi mate—" He grumbled but October tossed a pillow in his face.
"Get out! I have to kill myself!"
At least that was what he wanted to do. He still panicked and his heart didn’t want to stop racing. Was this a date or just a simple meeting? He shouldn’t see much into this thing but still, he just couldn’t help himself.
If she wanted him sober, she got him sober with her replies and everything. Waking up to her phone call was a surprise on its own but this turn of events?
He quickly decided not to hurt himself yet - well, not until he figured out what she thought of this all -, got dressed and left for the place, thinking she might not even turn up. October ordered something - he didn’t even know what - and sat down in one of the corners. Fortunately that certain Starbucks was almost completely empty. He leaned back and kept checking his phone for the time. His coffee went cold and he didn’t even touch it.

- I’m on time. - She peeked up at the clock seeing it being what they agreed upon before. - I did not want you to wait too much and realised I wouldn’t catch a bus... So, yeah, I came with the bike. - Gods, why was it so hard to even ask or mention what they spoke of before. Please do not tell me, who yours is, they established at the start of their friendship, for whatever reason, the burden of it weighing harder on them both with years. - Sorry, if you had to wait nevertheless.
