30 July 2010

Suicide

A friend  who I consider to be extremely close attempted suicide t the week before the fourth of July. Due to the fact that we are so close and that I did not have an address to send authorities I rushed to Philly. It ruined not only my day but my entire week.

For the little got from my friend he decided to take the last of his anti-viral medication. I later learned that this was a shitty way to try and off oneself.  Most antiviral medications will cause you to get really sick at worst not kill you but I ran to Philly anyway.

I was able to find the house from the little information that had received from various people. I thought 302 would be a great idea but figured I would talk to my other friends before I made such a rash decision.

I also talked to my friends ex to get the back story. It would seem that my friends ex who had been frisky with other men during the course of their off and on relationship of 5 months. This time my friend found out that his boyfriend kissed another man, again, and pushed him into a fence. The boyfriend then exclaimed that he never wanted to see my friend again due to the fact that his brush with the fence caused him to bleed. All of this was explained to me by my friends ex.

I figured I could put both sides of the story together once I saw my comrade face to face. When he finally stopped crying and wishing he could just sleep he told me his side of the story which shockingly was exactly the same as his ex’s.

Things progressed and while his closes friends were all for 302 another party dragged his mother back into the equation which took the burden off of us so to speak. We did not want to take such drastic measures without the consent of his next of kin who was now backing in the picture.

The night dragged on and I had to start rearranging my week so I would not lose my job. 

As it turned out my friend never did get 302 and whiles all of my friend friends think that his ex is simply no good my friend still wants him back. What the hell is it with gay’s and welcomed drama?
