Pete: i miss you. and i feel really bad about what happened. id like to apologize again in person. i know i dont deserve it

Pete: but id appreciate it anyways.

Pete: maybe we could have lunch? if ur free?

Pete: please?

Marcus does not want to see Pete. He and Pete had been roommates for two years, and they’d had a lot of good times, but now memories of Pete are inextricably tied up with memories of him, and Marcus is tired of thinking about him.

Marcus, please talk to me! I’m so sorry, I didn’t know it would be like this! He’s the one who should be punished, not you! He’s the one who was wrong! Can’t you see that? Marcus, please, I was only trying to help!

Nausea wracks through Marcus’ body as he closes his eyes. It’s not Pete’s fault. He knows this. Pete has always tried to be a good friend. It’s not his fault that things got so fucked up.

He knows this, but it’s still…hard.
