Chase Atlantic-Heaven and back.

You were more interesting than his ex-girlfriend Marion. That's what Bunny decided for himself. With you, he felt a spark that had long since died out in his relationship with Marion.

Your biggest advantage was that you painted. No, you were obsessed with drawing. Bunny felt so free and inspired with you. With you, Bunny remembered what he was like as a child. Not sharp, but smiling. It amazed Henry, because you were the only person who really brought out the best in Bunny.

Also, Bunny loved kissing you because you always tasted like strawberry gum.

God, you were everything that annoyed Henry. You were nineteen, a smiling freshman who saw aesthetics everywhere, studied Art, and smoked cigarettes with disgusting sweet capsules.

You were fun, you were the sun. You gave Bunny your colorful drawings, which he hung over the bed. You loved Madonna, you loved hoop earrings. God, Bunny really felt in love.

But there was one flaw that Bunny only noticed after the parties you always went to together. Pills.

"Bunny, this helps me reach my potential," you'd say, and wash them down with a Coke.

"Bunny, you're just mad. You can't even smoke weed because you have fucking asthma, for God's sake." you were rolling your eyes.

"What's the problem with borrowing money from your rich Henry? I'll give you everything. What else are friends for?" You were annoyed when you counted the crumpled bills.

And every time Bunny pulled you out of the shit. When you were feeling sick, when the dose was too high, when your vision was double and your head was spinning. He was annoyed, but lovingly held your hair and wiped the sweat from your forehead and the streaks of glitter and mascara from your cheeks.

"Listen, well, of course I'm paying for your pills. But I won't pay for your rehab." Henry told you at dinner one day.

His tone is a little dismissive, but it's like Henry was trying to pretend he said it casually.

"I mean, yes, Bunny may be fine with you, but you're dragging him down, and I'm his friend." Henry looked up and looked at you and Bunny.
