I pressed my hand palm against that window and as things were when someone you know and love were in grave danger, all those times that we had spent together, from the very day we had met when we were a mere five years old, shooting our shit in primary school, learning all about the harsh reality of this world in our high school days, being there for each other as we were mercilessly bullied by the jocks of said high school…before we finally managed to get out of that town, that era, that stigma…and eventually got our University degrees, and started this company that we now co-owned.All the times that I could have confided in my best buddy that I was in fact gay…that I was living a lie with marrying Jane, that I ached… Gay sex I can’t just let him go like this…” I whispered and stormed after Slender.Somewhere in the back of my mind a small voice was asking me what the fucking hell I was doing, what I was playing at, leaving my wife behind to run after a beggar…When I reached the ground floor I saw that he was way ahead of me, already heading out of the hospital, his hands buried inside his pockets.
