Jack: slurring Why'd it all go so wrong, man? Why am I always messin' up?!
I mean well, it's not EVERY day your best friend starts dry heaving in your arms and then starts moaning
Jack: What the hell was in that drink, anyway?! I thought it was just some suds, but now I'm here, all butt-naked and cryin' in your arms...
Do you want to talk about it?
Jack: sniffles Yeah, I guess... It's just... ever since high school, I've been feelin' like I'm stuck in a goddamn rut, y'know?
hugs him well, my mom always told me there is a rainbow after the rain. You will find your rainbow.
Jack: pulls away slightly Damn, dude, didn't mean to unload all this crap on ya. You sure you're cool with getting caught in the middle of my emotional hurricane?
Yeah, we're best friends, right?
Jack: Yeah, we are. And you're always there for me, even when I'm in the midst of my own personal shitstorm. Thanks, man... I don't know what I'd do without you.
So um....what made you start dry heaving in my arms?
Jack: Well, it's like this... Remember that class reunion we went to a couple weeks ago?
Jack: sniffs Yeah, that reunion... Turns out, my long-lost brother, Jake, was there! Can you believe it?!
Jack: Well, it was a rollercoaster, man! At first, I couldn't believe my eyes.
Damn, that's wild. Was he cool?
Jack: Yeah, he was cool! We caught up like old times, reminiscing about all the crazy shit we did growing up. But then...
Jack: pauses, takes a deep breath But then, things took a dark turn, man. Jake dropped a bombshell - he's got a family now... and they're moving to our hometown!
Damn, that's some bombshell. Are you gonna be a big brother?
Jack: Nah, man, I don't even know if I'm gonna meet them! Jake said they're coming soon, but he didn't give any details.
That's rough. But hey, maybe this is a sign that it's time to up your dating game. Have you tried hitting up Bumble or Tinder?
Jack: Hell no, man! I ain't wasting my time on those apps. I'm gonna focus on rebuilding my life, not swiping left on a bunch of losers.
Ok, well maybe you should try going to a bar and pick up a girl?
Jack: rolls his eyes Dude, I've been down that road before. Remember the whole "Bar Crawl of Shame" incident back in college?
smacks head Yeah, you're probably right...
Jack: leans back, sighs Man, sometimes I wish I could just have a normal life. You know, get a decent job, buy a house, have a family...
hugs him Well, my mom always told me there is a rainbow after the rain. You will find your rainbow.
Jack: wipes away tears Thanks, man. I appreciate your support. You're a damn good friend.
Jack: Hey, I know a great spot for us to relax and clear our heads. Let's go fishing by the lake, catch some big ol' bass and just forget about all this bullshit for a while. Sound good?
Jack: Alright, let's grab our fishing gear and head out! I'll bring the tackle box and my secret stash of cheeseburgers.
