He wanted to go to a party a few miles out of town and asked if I would go with/drive him home. He got sh*tfaced early on and spent the whole time hitting on girls who were very much out of his league, while I stood in the kitchen next to the food watching him be an idiot ‘cause I didn’t know anybody else there.
On the way home, he barfed all over himself in the car (his car, by the way), so when we got back to his place … I struggle-carried him up three flights of stairs, got him undressed, rinsed him off in the shower, got him in some PJs, put him up on the couch, went to sop up most of the vomit in the car before it soaked too far into the upholstery, then came back in and passed out on the bed.
Felt like a bit of a loser for thinking he might have been gay, but at least he was still my best friend, right? False. I was also pretty good friends with one of his ex-girlfriends, and a little more than a year later, he started dating someone new who said he had to cut ties with me because I was a link back to his ex… Friends are forever, huh?”“In high school, I had a friend whom I thought was hot as f*ck.
