"Just...say what's on your mind, Jeremy."
"Lunch? Just the two of us?"
"And any voices in our heads..."
"There might be voices in our heads, but I swear the voices there will be the regular kind."
"Me and the voices in my head have made up our collective mind."
"What do they say we should do?"
"I think that all of us want to go out with you."
*End Flashback*
Christine and I went out for about eight months before she ended up back with Jake. To be honest, I wasn't really feeling what I think you're supposed to feel for a girlfriend. Kinda seems like a waste after everything.
Lately, I've been hanging out with Michael a lot more. He's always sort of...been there, with his half-smile and glasses. I'm still not completely convinced that I deserve his friendship after I was such an ass to him. But he insisted that everything was fine, so I didn't make a big deal of it.
We started playing Apocalypse of the Damned again. He put my phone number back in his contacts. We sat together at lunch with Rich and Jake.
Basically, our friendship grew back.
