A Long Night

There were just three. Three of us left. Many had passed. There hadn’t been much talk of the others as the mention brought on looks of despair. This night was different; the mood was bright and the words were joyful, not many things could bring down the mood. The other two were chatting with smiles on their faces, reminiscing on the good old times while I was at a distant place with my thoughts surrounding me.
“I wonder what Evin is doing right now,” I said as I stared at the sunrise with a blank expression. Their faces dropped like a flightless bird trying to fly. After a few moments of being surrounded by silence, I heard a mutter.
“Who really cares?” Jordan said while staring at the floor.
“Dude, why did he have to go and do us like that!” Danny said, swift and angrily. The warm atmosphere in the basement suddenly changed to a cesspool of tension. The silence had gotten to be worse than being alone in space, so hushed that the only noise was the breaking of hearts.
“Can’t we give him another chance?” I muttered with a slight crack in my voice.
“Another chance? It’s just going to turn out like every other chance we’ve given him. If he doesn’t want to hang with us anymore then that’s fine. Let him do what he wants,” Jordan said. No one wanted to respond as we were all thinking the same thing. A break in the silence occurred; it was only the mere chirp from a bird. It was suddenly light out and the work day had just begun.
Just after the mood totally changed by the shift in time, there was a ring that sent a boom throughout the entire house. All the startled heads in the room instantly made a sharp turn that resulted in a stare at the door at the top of the stairs. Being my house, I had to go upstairs and check on the obnoxious noise that was my front door. As I dragged my exhausted body up the stairs, I knew at that moment I wanted to fall asleep on the last stair. I struggled to make my way to the front door. I recognized a figure standing there with short black hair, dark black glasses, and a blue and grey hoodie. The moment I saw smirk on their face is when I knew. My slouching body used all the energy it could to stand there and with a bewildered look on my face, I opened the door.
