curiouscrowYesterday was my best friend's birthday. He would have been 27. I pretty much just slept all day until I had to go to work. And I was tempted to call off.
He's been gone for three years and it's still as if I got the call yesterday. You know how, when you read(or write), "The words struck like a blow'? Imagine that sensation then triple it in my case. Not only did my mom deliver the news to me via phone because I was in a different state but he was already dead and buried by the time she told me. I didn't even get the option on if I wanted to go to his funeral or not.
He always made such a big deal out of his birthday. It was like a week long thing with him and so I did the same. Send him stupid texts, call at any hour of the day or night and we'd sit on the phone, him in GA and me either in NJ or IN(depending on the year) and watch movies and talk during commercial breaks. Him with his obsession with Lil Kim, telling me about school and the three jobs he was working. Me just sitting and listening and making corny jokes and telling him everything that happened since the last time we'd talked.
They found him in his apartment. When he didn't show up for work or answer the phone the police were called, the same police department that I now work for. I know if I look up his name it'll have death investigation by it. But he was so full of life. So very full. So, I'll be floating around this week but not being productive. No stories will be updated. I'll be watching mindless TV shows and playing other PC games.
RIP Belton. Always, always are you missed. Our favorite movie at the time used to be Forrest Gump sooo...
"He was my best good buddy...and that's all I have to say about that."
