Malachi couldn't take anymore of this, having a cold shoulder-esque relationship with one of the people who had been present in his life even when a lot of other people weren't. He honestly didn't even know how it happened, the falling out with Sophia. After he found out that she'd been married he was surprised, and even offended that he'd never heard about that for a quick second. After all, they've been in almost constant communication for so long. He quickly realized that he had no right to be offended over that though, realized it before they even talked, considering there were things that happened to him during those times that he hadn't and never would tell her about. What had kept him from being there for his friend for so long was the fact that he was hurt. Even though he wouldn't admit it he was hurt by the fact she tried to kick him out of her life as if some secret was more important than their friendship. However, he wanted this falling out to be done with because for the first time in forever everything in his life seemed to be good-- everything but one of the few things that was usually a constant good in his life. Not to mention the way he couldn't really enjoy all these positive things if he didn't do anything to help someone who was going through a rough time. So, he'd decided to suck it up and text Sophia earlier that morning telling her that he was coming to talk to her at three, and basically, that he would kick down the door if he had to. He found himself standing at Lucia's door just when he said he'd be there. He raised one hand to knock and his knuckles met the door forcefully, the sound echoing loudly through the empty street. Now all he had to do was stand there and wait for the confrontation that he would no doubt hate.
