Closing my eyes I took a deep breath, counted to three, and it seemed to be something childish and stupid to do so, but I just couldn't take anymore. Mike and Adam we’re discussing how many bagels each one should eat and Butcher was playing drums, putting an end on the possible silence that could still exist in the room.
My head was spinning, it was a mistake to get drunk at Five o’clock and the hangover was hitting me now, I got up and rushed towards the bathroom, before I could realize what I was there for, I saw myself on my knees and facing the toilet in front of me while pushing fingers down my throat.
When finished, I cleaned myself, and was still feeling pretty bad, I slide down the wall to sit in front of the sink like a drunken weirdo. After a couple of minutes Sisky opens the door and Butcher was looking at me over his shoulder - Beckett, are you okay?
I turned my head to look at the unfocused image of Adam’s face - Yes, Yes I am... - I said while he helped me to get up - I’ll go out for a walk, okay?
Butcher looked at me for several seconds, probably also trying to focus my face - Tha- That’s okay...
Put my jacket on and go out, my steps were slow and calm; I went down the street without route, when I wanted to get back I’d Just call a cab. Still, it wasn’t like I didn’t know each one of the streets of Chicago...
While walking, the door of one the houses across the street opened up, a man and a girl got out of it hugged and attached to each other - Will you miss me? - She asked, it was possible to hear their voices even on the other side of the road. She was wearing a pink dress; she also had short and black hair, really pretty.
- But of course my Vicky... - He laughed and kissed her, I really didn’t need to see that, I was there because I wanted to calm down, not to feel more stressed...
When He finished kissing the girl, she ran towards the car that was parked in front of his house, walking backwards the shirtless, tall boy went back to the door; I would recognize that body, stature and face anywhere I’d go.
He pressed the left side of his body against the door, which was still open, He ran his hand trough his beard, and probably He was still too lazy to shave. Slowly I realized he had got scared with my presence there, I saw when he whispered my name in mid-air and I swallowed in surprise. Like I have said before, I didn’t need that - William? - He finally shouted
I really didn’t want him to do that, but now it was too late. I just waved back with a doubted smile.
He took a quick look inside the house - Do you want to come in?
- No, thanks. I was heading back to my apartment actually
- Don’t be stupid, it is around 40 degrees around here… Come on
I looked down to my shoes and fixed my jacket around my waist, it was cold, but I was also trying to convince myself that I was freezing, I was trying to convince myself that I needed that, and that my body was shaking with sorrow and shame, and I needed to get back to his feet again. I knew that I was going to regret of this, but I crossed the street.
Walking inside the house Gabe closed the door - What are you doing here at this time?
- Michael took booze to the studio, so...
- Oh - He breathed, letting out a small laugh right after, probably remembering something funny Michael said or did when we were drunk - Want anything to drink? Water? Vodka? Wine? - Gabe asked, always with the weirdest drinks
- Juice, please... - I answered while sitting on the couch.
He came back after a few minutes with two glasses and a jar of juice, probably straight from the box he has saved on the storage cabinet, without even going to the fridge, it had a lot of ice in it so it was possibility. Now he had a shirt covering his body - Anyone new, William?
I hated that question, and now it was coming from him, which made it ten times worst - No, I am too busy to think of that... You and Vicky, huh?
- Yeah, - He Said putting his glass down - She’s awesome, I never thought it would ever work out, but... - He didn’t finished the phrase, just smiled, and a million of other things could come from that, a million of other sentences could finish the one he had just started.
We kept talking for some time, random things would come and go throughout the conversation, but we never got to talk about the past. After all, it had been years since we didn’t talked to each other...
- It’s three o’clock, I better go now...
Gabe rushed to get up along with me - It’s late, are you sure you don’t want to stay?
- No, someone will notice that I stayed out for too much long and it will be really awkward, besides I got drunk really early, so I just need to sleep, okay?
- So, it is better for you to crash here for the night
- What? No, I’m sure I can get back...
- You can stay on the guest room if you want - I stopped and turned to him, how could I resist that face, those puppy dog eyes that I had seen so much in my past and it would work each time they’d show up?
- Okay, but just because you’re begging and you better wake me up when you do, I don’t want to sleep until midday... - Gabe agreed with a nod I walked towards the guest room.
Next morning Gabe was shaking me in my bed - Bill, wake up!
He was sitting by my side on the bed, still on PJ’s and with that messed hair of his - What? You’re already up? What time is it?
- Nine, you asked me to wake you up, remember?
- Yes, I do
- Want breakfast?
- Yes, sure - I turned to face him, I could see that my own hair was all messed up and I still had the sleepy tone on my face, and He smiled! I thought it was weird, but I still smiled back at him.
We got to the kitchen and He opened the fridge, his sidekick started to ring and He ran to answer it, coming back after a few minutes with it glued to his ear - No, sorry Vicky, but I really can’t… I see you tomorrow, right? Bye, Love ya!
- That was really gay - I Said while He hang up
Gabe gave me a death glare with a distracted laughter right after. He finished making us breakfast and Sat down in front of me - So, what do you want to do today?
- I thought you had plans for today, you just told that to Vicky…
- Well, can’t I spend some time with my old Best friend?
- Can you? - I asked
- You two used to get along so well - He Said - I don’t think she’ll mind...
- But you didn’t Said to her that we were going to spend the Day together, or did you?
It took a while for him to answer, probably He was still thinking of an answer - Yes, I did... - I thought it was weird, but I agreed to go out with him
- You really haven’t met anyone? - He asked while grabbing some yogurt from the market fridge
- No - I answered
- Then what are your bandmates for you?
- Besides bandmates, Just friends, but you were the only Best friend I have ever had… I know how it is
- And you haven’t met anyone special? You know what I mean...
- Nope, Just one here and another one there, nothing actually special…
I confess that even when me and Gabe started to avoid each other, nothing else was the same. I can also say that it only happened because we thought we could be more than that, but of course that Gabe wouldn’t be comfortable about ‘losing’ his best friend. Right when I thought we had it all cleared out about it he started to throw himself at girls, including Victoria. And each one of them would break up with him because of me, we fought, even me and the girls, or me and Gabe, i don't know if he ever fought with any of those girls, they were just jealous fucks who thought that could be better then me just because he had picked them.
Eventually I just left, and never even bothered to come back.
I helped him with the groceries, and getting to the living room of his house we both saw Vicky and Sisky on the couch. She hurried to Gabe with my sight - Beckett?
- See, I told you they were together! - Adam got up right after her, pointing at the two of us. What he had said had given me Goosebumps, I mean; Vicky is right here, dude…
Vicky could be an awesome friend, but as Gabe's fuck, she's still one more in that sea of people
Gabe released the bags on the ground and got close to her - Vicky, it’s not what you’re thinking…
- Then what is it, Gabriel? - She whispered
There was a brief moment of silence in the room, I was swallowing hard and Vicky was getting too emotional, what wasn’t something she would normally do; she had never been like that. Hey, maybe she changed too, did Alex change too? What about Ryland?
Gabe got closer and hugged her; you could see that she cared more about him than He did for her.
I left the house without saying anything, leaving his groceries in the ground. Adam chased me to outside - What’s up with you, Dude? - He asked while we were getting closer to his car
- Nothing - I Said motionless while opening the door to his car - How did you find me?
- You and Gabe twitting at each other out of nowhere, and you far from us, hard huh? - He laughed - Vicky was also suspecting and called me so…
- Okay - I answered
Next Day I woke up early, Sisky had some ideas to show me so He had crashed on my couch for the night, I was still with the same clothes that I was wearing when I went to sleep, I was leaning over the keyboard while heard the bass lines He had to show me after the productive night.
Mike had promised us He was going to come over to help around ten o’clock, around that time the Bell rang- Hallelujah Mik- My voice broke after I saw Gabe standing there in front of me - Oh, it is you…
- What are you doing? - He asked
- Sisky is here, Mike is coming later - I Said still surprised - We’re working...
- You spent the night working? - He asked in disbelief
- Yes, I did, why?
- Can you go out?
- No, I was planning on spending the whole Day working - I answered, after realizing I had been rude, but I didn’t care. It was impossible to imagine Gabe humiliating me like that in front of Vicky, before all of this drama queen stuff of his she was my friend too, you know… - Does Vicky know you are here? - I rushed to ask
- No, but that’s okay, she’ll be cool.
It seemed that she was cool with everything, and then after we’d do it, she would also just change her mind.
- Was she Cool with what happened last night? - He didn’t said nothing, just slightly shaking his head, kind of awkward and shy.
Gabe had changed, even too much; I could still see when He was lying, at least when under pressure.
People change, but the only reason that they do is because they are affected by opinions, it might be theirs, or from someone else, but deep down, they are still the same, they feel the same feelings and act the same way they used to for every different situation. The adjectives that are part of a personality can come and go, but just because they are opinions, not elements.
And Gabe knew Who He was... Well, he knew who he was with me, he was still trying to figure out who he was without me around, that’s why it was easier for him to spend time with me and be who he knew he was, than risk everything that he had any progress on and keep trying to find that out.
And he thought I was innocent at this? No I wasn’t! And I am the one admitting it. I also wasn’t the same around him, but unlike him I was thinking about the consequences before throwing myself around on a boy’s arms, he wasn't.
- I know you are lying - I said - You did not tell her, you saw what happened yesterday, do you want something bigger to happen? Want to hurt her even more? Look Gabe, I really like her, I don’t want to hurt her...
Flashback
“It is over, man... It is over! Do you know what I gave up for this? I gave up of my college, I gave up on…” He stopped to think for a second “Do you know what else I gave up for this?”
I laughed at his argument and then got closer to him, trying not to hurt him - Maybe it is for the good, you can have the opportunity to start something new… Do you remember how good it is to start a new thing? To meet other people? To start from the zero? Remember when you're young and you're starting to build your musical taste and then you listen to that one band that you’re never going to forget, and you start to fall for it, all the lyrics fit into your life, even though they may or may not be the same thing that the writer was thinking about when he wrote it, and you and music get together as one unique person, just one body and soul…? And a few years later, when they are already part of your personality and of who you are on the inside and on the outside, you still ask how it would be like to start all over again: Know, Hear, Listen, Understand, Fit, Check, Love, Express, Feel it… Do you remember, Gabe? Do you remember?
Gabe was drunk, and standing in front of me on the outside of the club, where everyone goes to smoke. He looked to his own feet - I know, I know…
His voice was like He was about to cry, it would be such a big deal, Gabriel Eduardo Saporta doesn’t cry! If Gabe wasn’t my best friend I would run inside the club and look up for Pete, he would like to see this… - Gabe, are you crying? - I asked
He looked at me with his eyes full of tears, luck of his that any of them had been dropped yet. I can say that all of us were upset with Midtown’s end, and he wanted to move on, just needed time...
My head also wasn’t in its right place; I was just as drunk as He was.
The lights of the club hurt my sight, they were a blur to me, and Yet, everything still seemed so beautiful, and so perfect and I started to wonder If I was also high, maybe just one joint had been too much, or someone drugged me without my knowledge. I twisted to my own feet while lost. I turned around to get back inside when I stepped on something that made my body move forward, Gabe held me on my stomach, carried me like a baby and leaned down to get a smashed Pack of cigarettes - Dude, you stepped on a cigarette Pack… - He started to laugh and put me back on the ground.
He looked inside the Box and took a cigarette out of it - Here - He gave me the White stick - Get a little loose and take advantage of someone’s stupidness. It will make you chill a little bit.
I held it, put it on my lips and He lighted it up - Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine. Just need time...
I agreed to make him happy, I actually haven’t heard a Word He had Just said - Let’s go - Gabe gave me a smile and took a hold of my hand - I’ll take you home... -And pulled me through the midnight of Chicago’s streets
End of Flashback
- I can’t be with you if you know that she’ll be hurt, and don’t try to fake it because I know you know it... - I Said, waiting some time before He could say something, but He didn’t - Bye Gabe - I Said one last time before closing the door.
