Ted: Hey dude, not sure you got my last message, but I'd really like to hang out with you, since we haven't seen each other in forever. I know you're busy picking up shifts at the coffee shop, but if you have a few hours, I'd love to see you. Anyway, talk to you later dude.

Ted: This is Ted. Leave it.

(beep)

Will: Hey dude. Sorry I didn't call you back sooner. I don't know why I didn't. I haven't been terribly social lately. I, um... ...I've been a jerk lately. To everyone. After a couple of harsh events took place, I decided to wrap myself in my own little world to buffer myself from the actual world around me, with it's problems and demands and whatnot. When I wasn't busy as the king in my own kingdom, I pitied myself for the being fool I occasionally had the clarity to realize I was. Either way, you called, and I didn't call you back. For that, I'm sorry. We do need to hang out, and when we do, I'll try my best not to let this sudden dose of reality bring the conversation down. Either way, talk to you soon.

Will: Hey dude!

Ted: Hey man, I saw you called.

Will: Yeah, did you hear my message?

Ted: Sort of. I listened to the first ten seconds and the stopped listening when I realized it was probably one of your depressing rants.

Will: Hah. Good choice.

Ted: Anyway, want to get coffee?

Will: See you soon.
