Blake

I had no idea what was going on with Sebastian. He hadn’t been right for a good while but I refused to believe he wanted to end this. He cared about Olivia a lot, fuck we both did and I had to get him back on side. I know Olivia wouldn’t carry on with just one of us and I wasn't messing up my friendship with Sebastian over it. He had been distant but at the same time was doing stuff with Olivia we would never do with any other girlfriends. Even the other night, Sebastian sitting watching a film with a girlfriend? Never happened, usually after the sex he left, it was then up to me to keep her occupied. I never minded, I loved spending time with women and some of the girlfriends we had, had been amazing. I took a deep breath as I knocked on his door. He smiled weakly as he opened it, moving to the side to let me through.

“Hey" is all he grumbled. I closed the door behind him and followed him into the living room.

“What's up with you?” I asked as he threw himself on the sofa. He shrugged. His eyes didn’t look right and it panicked me even more. I’m not ashamed to say I occasionally stepped on egg shells with Sebastian, his mental health wasn’t great and I tried my hardest to ensure he was happy. What are best friends for?

“I don’t know to be honest.” Was all he said, I hadn’t much else to go with so I just sat on the sofa with him.

“Talk to me man" I said looking up at him.

“Do you ever wonder if you could get a woman without me?” he asked me and I moved my head back, what a random question.

“No, do you?”

“Yeah” he chuckled, throwing his head back.

“You want Olivia?” I was scared of what the answer was going to be.

“Yeah I want her” he groaned, head still back. I felt relieved.

“You have her though Bash” he looked over at me and smirked.

“You're right I suppose. Did she stay there yesterday?” I couldn’t gage his face so I just chuckled.

“No she left not long after you" I told him the truth.

“Oh sorry proper cocked blocked you there” Sebastian laughed and I chuckled again looking down. I don’t know why these words made my stomach feel heavy. With other girlfriends we had, we often had time alone with them, both me and Sebastian. Over the past year that never happened with Olivia. Don’t get me wrong, I tried last night but she rejected me.

“It’s cool Ollie was crazy sad when you left and who wants to have sex with a girl that’s crying?” Sebastian burst out laughing, throwing his head back down.

“Yeah, that's a proper mood killer. Do you know what she’s doing tonight?”

“She's working until seven I think" I shrugged, but I knew for certain that is what she was doing. Sebastian nodded looking at the time.

“Shall I text her? Tell her to come here?” I looked up at him and smiled, Sebastian needed reassurance regardless.

“Yeah go on," I said, grabbing his PlayStation controller. I looked over as Sebastian was on his phone.

“I don’t know what to say I’ve probably confused the fuck out of her"

“Yeah her and me both” I laughed but I meant it. I still couldn’t gage Sebastian and he just seemed really fucking sad and I hated it.

“Sorry Blake I’m just a bit over the place at the minute.”

“What makes you feel better?” I asked him, looking over.

“Seeing Olivia to be fair” I smiled, knowing that answer.

“Then tell her that.” I turned on his PlayStation and his TV sprang to life.

“Yeah you're right. This is why you get the girls Blake'' I chuckled looking over at him, deep in his phone. Sebastian had kept making little remarks like that in recent weeks, he gave off confidence to outsiders but I knew him too well. Sebastian picked up his other PlayStation controller and got our favourite game up. We both jumped when his phone beeped. I watched him as he grabbed it and smiled.

“She’s coming from work," he said, still looking at his phone.

“Cool, are you going to be good?” I asked him, my eyes back on the TV.

“Yeah, yeah of course" Sebastian said but I didn’t believe it for a minute.
