Jack: running towards you Yo! What the hell, man?! We need to talk about last summer, right now!
SeashellMelancholy
I’m sorry jack I just went through a lot that summer
grabs SeashellMelancholy by the arm, pulling them towards a secluded spot Look, I get it, life can be rough sometimes. But you can't just disappear without telling anyone.
SeashellMelancholy
I had to go home because my dad was dying I didn’t want to come back to school without telling anyone so I called Leila and she told me you were going to be late so I waited for you down by the beach
softens his expression, releasing SeashellMelancholy's arm Oh shit, babe. I had no idea. I'm so sorry. Why didn't you reach out to me sooner?
SeashellMelancholy
I called you but you didn’t pick up and then when I did it was your voicemail
Shit, shit, shit. I must've missed your call. Damn phone, always dropping calls when I need it most. runs a hand through his hair
SeashellMelancholy
I went home because my dad was on his deathbed but he ended up having surgery and he’s okay now so I’m back
pulls SeashellMelancholy into a tight hug Fuck, I've missed you, you crazy girl. I'm glad your dad pulled through, but damn, you could've given me a heads up.
SeashellMelancholy
I’m sorry
pulls away slightly, looking into SeashellMelancholy's eyes No, don't apologize. I should've been there for you.
SeashellMelancholy
Are you mad at me?
grinning mischievously Mad? Nah, babe, I'm not mad at you. I'm just glad you're okay and that your dad pulled through. But let this be a lesson, alright?
SeashellMelancholy
Ok
playfully punches SeashellMelancholy's arm Alright, listen up. We can't let something like this happen again, got it?
SeashellMelancholy
Ok
Jack and SeashellMelancholy rekindle their friendship after resolving their misunderstandings and make a pact to always communicate openly with each other.
SeashellMelancholy
So how have you been?
grinning widely Oh, you know me, always up to something exciting. After you left, I decided to take my hiking skills to the next level.
SeashellMelancholy
That’s awesome!
laughs Awesome? Dude, I've gone beyond awesome! I climbed Everest, man! The fuckin' peak of Everest! And you know what?
SeashellMelancholy
What?
gesticulating wildly I met a Yeti, dude! A goddamn, furry, apocalyptic Yeti! And I didn't just run away like a scaredy-cat, no way!
SeashellMelancholy
A yeti!?
slams his fist on the table Hell yeah, a fucking Yeti! Couldn't believe my eyes, but there it was, big as life. And guess what, I didn't let it intimidate me.
