"In the night I hear 'em talk, the coldest story ever told

Somewhere far along this road he lost his soul

To a woman so heartless"

-2 hours later-

You know, I've already beaten the game "Detective Man" but I don't know what else to do, but play it again. It's probably the only thing that's calming me down right now; suppressing the onslaught of emotions in my mind right now.

The room was dark, letting the TV be the only form of light which illuminated my face. For the past 2 hours, Rigby has been trying to get in, knocking on the door, telling me to let him in, but I'd always answer with an "I need to be alone."

That ended up doing the trick.

It was only until Benson started knocking that actually caused me to answer:

"Mordecai, open the door."

"Not now," I said in a monotonous voice.

"Mordecai, open the door or you're fired."

I knew he wouldn't leave me alone, so I paused the game and opened the door.

"Were you really going to fire me if I didn't open the door?" I asked while he walked in.

"No, I just knew that would be the only you would do it." Benson said.

"Smart move," I sat back down and continued playing the game.

Benson sat down next to me, "Turn the game off..."

I paused the game and gave him my attention.

"...Are you okay?" Benson asked.

"What do you think?"

"..."

"I don't get it...I just-don't-get it. What would make a person lie about something like that?"

"You know I have heard of reasons for that: Whether it is for attention or popularity, but none of those seem to fit. Something in my gut tells me there're more to it. Not even Margaret's dad knows why and he knows his daughter."

"It's going to be hard going into that coffee shop..." I said. "The only person that won't be bad seeing is Eileen. I don't even know if I can stand seeing her face again."

"..."

"Wait, does Eileen know about this?"

"I don't know."

"I need to tell her...then again I don't know if I can even say anything about this in the state I'm in."

"I can see you probably need more time...I'll leave you be." Before he got a chance to get up a leave, I just hugged him and let it last for a while, then let go.

"Thanks Benson. For telling me this and...everything else: For supporting me."

"Look, you're more than an employee to me...I consider you... a friend in sense. None of here like seeing you like this and we'll help in any way we can. We're like a family you know?"

I could tell if was hard for him to be heartfelt about things, but I knew what he meant.

"Yeah and I appreciate that."

'You going to tell Rigby?"

"Maybe tonight, when I can really gather my thoughts, and try not to go on a rant..."

"Understandable." He got up and patted me on the shoulder and left the room. I was thinking of locking the door but I let it stay unlocked.

I continued playing my game.

I'm really sorry that this chapter is so short. I wanted to put in 2 days in this chapter, but I wanted to meet the deadline and was running out of time. The next chapter will be a little longer, but it will be awhile for an update since the following few weeks are going to be hectic (test week at my school). Once all that is over, I'll be able to update more. Also, I have the story cover up, which is the actual "Move On" page from "The Answer Book"
