A short story

The situation took place last week. I had an argument with my best friend, Sue. We had a different perception of the life at that moment. I was really sad for that and I decided to go to the restaurant. I had to think about it. I was drinking a tea when suddenly one man came to me, and he asked to sit with me. I was surprised and I didn't want to talk with him.

- ,,What are you doing? I said no!"

-,,You have a problem, I see it. I'm older and I have a lot of experience in life. I will help you, I promise. I just want to talk"- he said and smiled. ,,By the way, I'm John"

At that moment I felt something weird. I had a sensation that I knew him all my life. I have told him about the situation with my friend and then he told me the story of his friendship. He met Tom when he was twenty, and they quickly became friends. One day, John had a car accident, and he spent a few months in the hospital. Tom visited him and took care about his mentally health. Others John’s ,,friends'' forgot about him, sometimes only phoned to him, but they didn't visit him when he needed them. Having a lot of time to think, he understood that Tom was his best friend. They are love each other even when they are arguing. They shared all their lives moment together. Unfortunately, Tom died last month. John goes to his grave every day ,and he feels an emptiness in his heart. He lost the part of himself, but he knows that in some way they are still together.

His story was affecting. I realized that I love Sue and I had to apologize to her. Our friendship is important to me and I know, Sue is a person who wants my happiness anyway.  John helped me to understand how important is our friendship.
