Shit

As I sit on the couch one night scrolling through social media on my phone out of boredom, I hear a soft knock on my door. I get up and open it to see a crying Calvin. Anger fills me, I didn't like seeing him upset. He looks up at me through tears and sobs more. I let him in and embrace him on my couch. I hold him for several moments before he's ready to talk. 

"My girlfriend dumped me." Calvin says through sobs."I caught her with my-y-y.."

I rub my fingers through his hair as I let him take as long as he needs to talk. His head against my firm chest.

At work, I take out the trash, I see Mr. Wiggly's leaving to go to his dressing room. Though he was going rather quickly, like he was in a rush. I got curious and followed him. I put my ear against the door as I listened to the man grunt. From the squelching sounds, I could tell he had just taken off the headpiece. 

"What do you mean by that?" The man says to the head

I listen closer

"A new host? I'm dying already?!" The man says "No...you can't do this to anyone else" 

I hear the man grav something and a large thud. Then I hear groans of pain and a cracking sound. I cringe st the crack and listen closer. I tense up as everything goes silent. I hide behind the door as it opens, and the mascot walks out cheerfully. After he's gone, I gulped. What new host?

"She was with my brother on the couch, and I asked what she was doing with my brother, and she slapped me. She yelled at me and said I never treat her right. Even though I've been the best boyfriend ever, I was literally on my way to give her flowers. I paid her rent, and I babysat her dog."

He cries more as he explains how she insulted him all while his older brother smirked and he left the apartment sobbing. His brother was never much of a brother to him. I hated him. He always made fun of his brother and made him second best to his parents. I hated how that asshole always took everything from him. I held him closer and held up his head by his chin to make him look at me.

"You're amazing, Calvin, and anyone would be lucky to have you" I say pulling him as close as possible 

He holds onto me. My words thankfully did something as he cried less. I let him fall asleep in my arms. I look down at him lovingly. I would always be there for him. A slightly dark shade of blush appears on my cheeks.

"Shit!" I say as I run my fingers through my hair in frustration.
