Brian's POV
Joey was sleeping over. Even though there was a part of me that hates him for dating Meredith(three years worth of it), I let him stay over.
I heard a knocking on the door and answered. Joey was there, but my stomach sank when I saw Meredith behind him. "Hey, Brian, is it okay for Mere to sleep over too?" Joey asked. "Sure," I said not meaning it.
"You two are sleeping in the guest bedroom," I told them pointing towards the door. I didn't see them for the rest of the night and I was glad.
I woke up that morning at 7. Meredith and Joey weren't awake so I decided to go to Joe(W)'s. I left a note saying where I was.
I got to Joe's house and knocked on the door. He answered. He looked tired, but not like he just woke up.
"Hey, Brian. You probably are going to ask for a favor. What is it?" Joe said. "Good morning to you too. I need advice." I answered. "For a friend," I quickly added. "Okay then. Come in and ask away," Joe said as I walked in.
"So, my friend is in love with this girl. There are two big problems, though. One: That girl hates him. Two: She's dating his best friend. The girl and her boyfriend really love each other. What do I do, get as far away as possible to escape the broken heart or stay as close as I can? I mean what does he do?" I told Joe
" 'I'? This is about you, isn't it?" "Yeah," I admitted. "Well, your options are to move far away or to stay very close. If you were to move away, though, where would you go?" "Move to LA with Darren," I answered. "SO move to LA or stay near this girl who I'm assuming is Meredith," Joe said. "H-How did you know?" I asked surprised. "It's just that I've seen the way you look at her. Anyway, I can't help with the decision but I can help with emotional support," Joe continued. "Gee, you're making me feel a lot better," I said sarcastically. "Besides," I continued. "You'll never know what it's like to love someone and them to not love you back," I finished, quoting my own character. Joe laughed a little. "Your point is?" he asked. "You always have had Lauren, and always will. You'll never know how I truly feel." He didn't answer.
My question was left unanswered when I needed to know the answer most. My mind told me to move to LA, but my heart told me to stay with Meredith. What do I choose, my mind or my heart?
