blackXnight: what? no! youre nasty.
crew_cut: *shrugs* hey, whatever man.
blackXnight: no. not that.
I sigh and smile, shaking my head.
crew_cut: well what then?
blackXnight: I met her.
crew_cut: who? Whos her?
blackXnight: you were right. She is a she. I mean she is a her? I dunno. But it was so awesome.
crew_cut: what are you talking about dude?
blackXnight: TRINITY!
There was a pause. I could almost see Jim's face, contorting first in shock, then in disbelief in the glow of his monitor.
crew_cut: quit it man.
blackXnight: no lie man. I found her…well. She found me I guess.
crew_cut: you're lying. You gotta be. You MET her? THE trinity?
blackXnight: man. You were so right. Its crazy. She's a FOX.
crew_cut: HOW!?!?!!? WHEN!?! WHY?!!?
I again relay the story of the confessional, this time to him.
He'd always known about my thoughts on the world. My doubts on reality. But…I don't think he ever thought it would come to this.
crew_cut: what does this mean?
blackXnight: I don't know. I guess it means…i'm leaving.
crew_cut: but where to? I dunno Em. This sounds kind of crazy. How do you know that this is the real deal? I mean, the REAL trinity.
blackXnight: it's gotta be. You didnt see the hack job she did on my computer. It was unreal. She was in and out of there clean as a whistle. I couldn't trace her at ALL. And what she did was amazing. I couldn't turn off my CPU.
crew_cut: I've heard of that. Apparently it's a trinity trademark. Black screen?
blackXnight: totally unreal man, lemme tell you.
crew_cut: did you tell sherin?
blackXnight: yeah…
crew_cut: AND?
blackXnight: and shes coming to town with me on wednesday.
crew_cut: that is nuts man….do you know…when I can talk to you again?
I pause. Thinking. I don't know when I'll ever see him…
Ever talk to him again.
I look over at a picture of him and me on my bulletin board. He's my best friend.
blackXnight: Ill try to talk to you as soon as I can.
crew_cut: what if I never see you again?
I can almost hear his voice faltering.
blackXnight: that wont happen.
crew_cut: rents are back…em. When?
blackXnight: soon. I promise.
crew_cut: alright. Bye.
I pause. What if I never see him again?
blackXnight: wait.
crew_cut: what is it?
blackXnight: …Jim youre my best friend. You know that, right?
crew_cut: don't say goodbye em. We'll talk. Soon.
blackXnight: you're like my brother though.
crew_cut: I'll talk to you on Thursday Em. Later.
blackXnight: later jim.
