All The Small Things

Yesterday I found out that a girlfriend of mine was killed in a car accident on the weekend.

This beautiful, vivacious woman, in the prime of her life, with everything going for her, gone.

 

Naturally, the news of her death floored all of us who knew her. I was devastated, and wandered through the day with a look on my face that must have been bad, because I was repeatedly asked, "Gee Sass, whats happened?".

I ran into GM down the street, and he just said Hi, guess what? I've got a new job, I start tomorrow so I'll be out of town for the rest of the week. I'll call you tonight.

A quick kiss, and then he was gone.

When he rang me last night, we talked for a while, I told him about my friend, explained how upset I was. He says "Is Nicky there?" I said yes, we talked some more, then he said, "Well darl, I might see if I can come in tomorrow night, but it'll depend on if I'm working. I'll give you a call and let you know."

I said I was going to be busy, because there are a bunch of us getting together for drinks for our friend.

Oh, he say's. Righto then, I'll see you Friday.

 

Now I ask you - and I've been asking everyone round here - what would you have done in that situation?

 

*** And before Mrs Macca writes in that he's a tosspot wanker and I should ditch him, the general concensus round here is that this lack of support and non-visiting immediately to render a hug and comfort is very very very unlike our boy. So I'm going to have a talk to him and figure out what the hell was going on in this situation. Perhaps he'd been drinking and couldn't drive in? This may explain the question about Nicky being home - I can't drive out to see him if I have Nicky asleep in bed, or alternatively he may have taken on board that I don't want him sleeping over when she's there. He had been at a funeral himself earlier in the day, and its possible he'd been drinking at the wake. I feel like I'm clutching at straws to explain this odd behaviour. Ergh. I'll keep you posted anyway. But he's not a tosspot wanker. I hope. Dear God, please don't let me have fallen in love with another tosspot wanker. Please. Fuck I'm pathetic. ***
