I just woke up. Where are you?

[thankfuckforlife]

[lastfirstkiss]

Ouch.

[thankfuckforlife]

Were you going to wait until I was dead to ever speak to me again? I'm finding a new best friend, and I might move in with Adrian.

[lastfirstkiss]

Of course I wasn't. I've just been kind of passing out when I get home from work. I didn't mean to be a dick. I'm sorry, Richie.

[thankfuckforlife]

Boo hoo. You and your painfully long hours standing in the sidelines of a theatre. I'm clean out of violins. Eh, go back to being busy and shit. I don't care.

[lastfirstkiss]

Hey, I still care. You're still my best friend, Richie. :(

[thankfuckforlife]

Oh, we'll catch up after you train. Awesome. No, we'll catch up when you get back from Australia. Awesome. We'll catch up after work. Awesome. We'll catch up when I'm fucking dead. Awesome.

I'm still waiting. Zed tried to kill himself, Lorenzo's baby is in the hospital. I've been bleeding out of every orifice multiple times. Not one text. I'm not sure if you're still my best friend. What am I supposed to think?

[lastfirstkiss]

What the fuck? Why did Zed try to kill himself? And what's wrong with Holly? And what caused you to bleed? I mean... I know hemophilia, but what triggered this bleed? I'm sorry, Richie. I'll do better. I promise.

[thankfuckforlife]

I'm not a mind reader. I don't know why he did it. Holly's got a gastro condition that was made worse by allergies. Shit happens triggered the bleed.

[lastfirstkiss]

Is he going to be okay? Is that a stupid question? What about Holly? Will the doctors be able to treat whatever her condition is and make her feel better? Did you end up in the hospital again?

[thankfuckforlife]

Don't know. He's got a lot going on. They're treating her, it'll take a bit of time. Only overnight.

[lastfirstkiss]

How's things with your new boyfriend?

[thankfuckforlife]

I bleed and puke a lot. I hope I don't lose him.

[lastfirstkiss]

Do you think you'd lose him just because you've been sick a lot lately?

[thankfuckforlife]

No, but I didn't think I'd lose my last boyfriend either.

[lastfirstkiss]

Your last boyfriend was a dick, and didn't even want to meet your mom.

[thankfuckforlife]

Sure. A dick. I fell for a dick. I was stupid enough to have feelings for a dick. It's all my fault for not knowing better.

[lastfirstkiss]

I don't think that, Richie. He was sweet to you in the early days. I remember you telling me about him. I'm just saying Adrian is doing all the things in the early days that he didn't want to do even later on into things.

[thankfuckforlife]

Yeah, and I'm in the early days with Adrian too.

[lastfirstkiss]

Right, but he's already meeting your mom and being there for you in the really hard stuff. I mean, I don't want to say there's no way it could go wrong, because I know that there's always that possibility, but it sounds like he's a really good guy.

[thankfuckforlife]

I don't think he could help a blood phobia. Pretty sure, though, that's why he cheated. He was disgusted. He is a really good guy. I don't think general cunts pay $1 mil to charity for no reason at all.

[lastfirstkiss]

You can't help a blood phobia, true, but that's not a fair reason to cheat. He doesn't seem like a cunt. How are you feeling about everything?

[thankfuckforlife]

About everything? Well, I'm kind of butthurt I haven't won the lottery and as much as I love Adele's song, I am a bit put out that she didn't start singing Lionel Richie's version of 'Hello' after she sings the first line of her song because that's where my brain went.

[lastfirstkiss]

I mean about how things have gone so far with Adrian. Although, I'm with you on the Adele song.

[thankfuckforlife]

Things have gone great with Adrian. He's an amazing person.

[lastfirstkiss]

What really attracted you to him in the first place? I mean, beyond obviously being really attractive, more on the mental and emotional level?

[thankfuckforlife]

He's selfless and attentive. I never feel like he doesn't care or he's not listening to me. He's gone out of his way to learn about my condition, and spent a lot of time talking to Mom about it. He loves Mom and she loves him. He does these sweet things just because he's thinking about me. And he has a great body and a big dick.

[lastfirstkiss]

He sounds kind of awesome, dude. I'm really happy for you. What do you guys like to do together? I mean, clearly besides have sex.

[thankfuckforlife]

We watch movies, we talk, he likes to cook, we go out for dinner or go for a walk together. We go to Central Park a lot too if we have a day off together.

[lastfirstkiss]

He cooks for you? That's awesome, dude. He sounds like a serious keeper.

Do you love him?

[thankfuckforlife]

Things aren't easy. We're both really busy, but he bends over backwards to spend time with me, and I want to do the same for him. Even if it's him picking me up at 7am after my shift so we can go home to bed together. Sleepy sex is nice.

I think I do, yeah.

[lastfirstkiss]

That's sweet, dude. That's... what I should be doing, or I'm going to lose Nick.

Yeah? Dude, that's awesome. And makes me really happy for you.

[thankfuckforlife]

You stupid shit. Get your crap together or you'll die alone and miserable... and will deserve it.

[lastfirstkiss]

I know. I've kind of fucked up a lot. I'm trying to fix it before it's too late.

[thankfuckforlife]

Or leave him alone if he's not worth figuring out how he ticks.

[lastfirstkiss]

He's worth it. A million and one times.
