Around 10 am the boys and I hit up the bean scene for old time sakes. When arriving we met up with Stace. She bought her own coffee as she smiled and waved to us. When we sat by her she hugged PJ's arm and he flinched. She was confused by this and looked up at him and tapped his arm again to which PJ struggled not to flinch again. She looked worried seeing the look on his face. "Babe?" She asked softly as PJ chuckled nervously "is there something you aren't telling me?" She asked as he looked nervous.

"No no baby! I don't hide anything from you!" He chuckled as she looked more confused " baby I don't force you to tell me anything, but I'm gonna need to know what's happening here now" she said as he looked at us for help only to look utterly annoyed because Bobby and I weren't exactly the best at poker faces, we looked like we were gonna shit our pants. She noticed this and looked back at PJ "Pete Junior I demand an explanation!" She asked in a worried tone "I uh.... Babe I wasn't being eco-friendly" he admitted shamefully.

She looked confused " what do you mean?" As he chuckled "ahaha..... uhhh.... Bobby got really drunk and ran into the woods. He passed out and coyotes were swarming him and I got really scared for my buddy and hit them away with a big stick" he said as she nodded "okay? And?!" she asked " I'm sorry I hurt the coyotes baby..." he said softly " who gives a fuck about the coyotes! Are you okay?!" She asked scared "oh uh... sorta. I got scratched pretty bad but Max bandaged me up pretty nicely" he said softly as she hugged him tightly.

"Baby I care about the environment and all but I care about you more! If you gotta defend yourself then defend yourself" she said as he sighed in relief and she kissed his lips gently " let me see the wound" she asked as PJ lifted his sleeve. A couple a new freshmen's walked in chuckling "dude I'd cut myself too if I looked like that" they mocked PJ's scars. He looked down ashamed as Stace extended her leg and tripped them up. They stumbled before turning and sneering at Stace "the fuck was that for?" They asked as she stood.

She got all up in their faces and cocked a brow " what do you mean? I didn't do anything to you, Carry on with your day now" she replied "what's a whore like you talking to me for? Shouldn't you be cooking or something? Oh wait- you're one of those shit feminist sluts aren't you?" The others asked "don't talk to her like that" PJ said standing up now " try and catch me fat ass. I wanna see what you do" he snickered. PJ turned to grab a chair and smack it over their heads but before Stace hit first.

She kicked the dudes balls and as he cowered over in pain she grabbed him by his hair and dragged him out of the coffee shop. All three of us watched and looked nervous. For the guy, not her. She can kick ass. But his friend ran after him. 2 dudes against one girl? That's not happening. PJ ran after him and picked the guy up by the back of his shirt and dragged him too but like a suit case. Bobby and I had to see this so we ran out to watch. The dude Stace fought was unconscious.

Mean while PJ threw the other guy into on coming traffic. The cars stopped before they hit the dude but regardless they were not messing around "and stay out. We don't need your negative vibes suffocating the place" Stace said walking back inside as PJ followed. The cafe snapped their fingers applauding them, PJ looked shy to the applauding but Stace smiled and bowed happily. When they sat down she whispered " you're gonna get lucky tonight big boy" in a seductive manner and PJ blushed red. Bobby and I snickered at that interaction, Bobby specifically whistling in a low tone.

Needless to say we had fun hanging out at the bean scene and chilling out with Stace again over a warm cup of coffee in the contrast of the cold weather. PJ looked up at me and asked "are you guys busy on Christmas?" He asked as Bobby chuckled "dude it's Christmas. Who isn't busy?" He asked as PJ looked at him " dude me, my dad hates Christmas he treats it like a normal day and goes out at the end" he said and I interrupted " he goes to the house of mouse where I will be working on Christmas"

PJ and Bobby cocked a brow "you're gonna work on Christmas?" They chuckled "that's sad" Bobby added on "I think it's fun, you guys should stop by seriously. It's a really nice vibe over there." I said and I was being serious. I actually really liked the house of mouse. Stacey looked curious and looked at PJ with a smirk. He looked at her and gave in with a sigh "fine.... We will be there" he said as she smiled "we sure will"  and then she looked at Bobby. " hey you're not my girlfriend. That shit won't work on me"

"Okay but I'm not flirting, I'm offering you a months worth of spray can cheese" she chuckled "deal" he folded instantly. PJ cocked a brow and looked at her as she shook her head. She wasn't gonna get Bobby any cheese she was just lying. But she wanted Bobby to go which wasn't really suspicious. Ever since she rejected Bobby they've had this sibling bond which PJ and I thought was nice. "You inviting anyone Bobby?" I asked him as Bobby looked up "like who?" He asked back while I snickered "a special someone~ I don't know maybeeeee Tank perhaps?"

"That honestly doesn't sound to bad. Tank is a real one. I'll invite him" Bobby said "I mean as a date Bobby" I chuckled but instantly felt bad when I saw Bobby shift a little uncomfortably. Did he not like Tank? PJ and Stace noticed this too and PJ asked "Bobby what's wrong? Do you not like Tank?" He asked. "I do but..." he sighed "we kissed again.." he said softly her shamefully as the three of us perked up and Stace spoke " and? What happened?" She asked. "I just.... I feel bad because he's really such a good person..."

"And?" I asked "and I'm...... I'm not even mentally stable dude. I don't wanna get hurt in a relationship again and ruin a really cool friendship potentially if things don't work out" he said fiddling his fingers "dude.... Tank isn't like that at all. He's very chill and he would never hurt you" I said wrapping a arm around Bobby's shoulder " I know he wouldn't. I'm just scared he likes me now and then when he gets to really know me he won't like me anymore." He said "you need to have more confidence in yourself Bobby" Stacey added on.

" Its not just about confidence it's...." He groaned annoyed. He was getting irritated which wasn't really like him " I'm gonna head out. I hate having this conversation over and over again" he said as he stood up and  left abruptly. We watched him leave with a concerned look on his face. We were growing increasingly worried about him. He's changed so much and I feel bad. Especially because I feel like we never took enough notice to realize how much stress Bobby was being put under. Like how now he was more reckless and putting himself into dangerous situations now.

I just hope Bobby is okay....

I'm really scared for him...

He's my best friend....
