"Dan, calm down. I know uni sucks but-"
Dan interupts Phil and says "It's not about disliking school Phil! I hate what I'm doing with my life! Law is so boring it doesn't appeal to me in any way and I want to go back and change all of this but it's too late to go back and make other choices-"
Now Phil interupts Dan, "Okay, how about you call in tomorrow and say you have a family emergency?" Phil pauses and I think Dan agrees. "Good. I'll go and get Jay."
I back away from the door quickly and sit on my bed, pretending to mess with my IPhone. Phil walks in and I act like I wasn't expecting him to come in at all. He motions for me to come out and I follow him through the hallway and down the many flights of stairs that we have. I walk into the kitchen, where Dan is now sitting, and sit down next to him. He quickly wipes the tears from his eyes and looks down. I reach into my bag, which is still slung over my shoulder, and pull out the box of Maltesers that I bought earlier. I place the box on his lap and he looks up at me.
"You know me too well, Jay" He says laughing.
I kiss him on the cheek and we get up. We walk into the living room where Phil is failing to play Guitar Hero. To my surprise, it's a My Chemical Romance song. Dan smiles at me and he grabs a guitar and I grab the mic. I know the entire song by heart.
"What's the worst thing I could say?
Would it mattered if I stayed?
So long and goodnight
So long and goodnight."
