Why can't I do anything right?

Passing The Time | archie and chop

Archie hadn't been feeling himself lately. He didn't know what the was wrong, really. Everything was fine at college - he was getting straight A's as usual, the gang was all back together and he'd finally come out to everyone. But there was something nagging at the back of his mind. It was like he still he had his little secret. It was like there was something he didn't want everyone to find out. 

Bumping into Chop was perfect. It gave him a distraction. And Chop's solution to anyone feeling slightly down was to drink. And today, Archie didn't care about how bad it was for you or how he was slowly running out of money. Especially after quitting his job at the leisure centre (which was mainly to do with this random stress and panic attacks Archie was experiencing).

Archie left his house at quarter to, he fancied a walk - maybe it would help him calm down a little and collect his thoughts. He knew he couldn’t be acting like this in front of Chop. Archie loved Chop, but it wasn’t like it was with Finn. Him and Finn had been friends since primary. It was like they had a special bond, something that no one else could touch. Chop on the other hand crashed into their lives during secondary. He’d always been this chilled out, cool, easy-going lad who loved to party. That was what made him so great, you could just forget all of your worries and have a laugh with him. You never had to be serious. But he’d always be there for you if you did. 

As Archie approached the Black Swan, he noticed some of the lads from college - not particularly friendly ones either. He noticed that after coming-out, people did act different towards him. Some of it was actually really positive, people seemed to think he was brave and that it was cool he could be himself. It gave others another chance to take the piss. But Archie wasn’t in the mood for that right now. Once the lads standing outside the pub doors noticed him, they starting to smile but Archie just pushed passed them. The first thing he saw was Chop’s brilliant, goofy smile, so he headed over.

Two Old Friends ▪ Finn and Archie, Part 1

Finn and Archie had been friends a very long time. Yeah, Finn considered him his best mate. He loved the lad and would do anything for him. The two saw each other down the chippy and Archie wasn't looking himself. Finn thought it odd, considering everything was sorted now. He suggested going for a chat. Him and Archie weren’t the best at letting people know how they feel but that was something Archie said he wanted to change. Finn wasn’t so sure. He liked being a little closed off, a little secretive, even though this meant he seemed like a right grumpy sod to outsiders. This didn't matter though, as long as the gang and Rae understood him. They were the only real ones that did and he was thankful for that. Everything that had happened recently, it taught him that everyone had stuff and sometimes they didn't wanna talk about it. But sometimes that's actually what you need the most. The chats Finn has had with Rae since everything, they've been open and they've become closer because of it. It was weird, Finn and Rae seemed to work just as well when they weren't together. That's what was so good about their relationship. They were best mates. Like him and Arch. With a slight difference of course.

Finn finished football practice - one of the only things he enjoyed now that he left college and moved out. During that period, it became harder to see everyone and he missed it. Last summer, the summer of '96... that was the best time of his life and he wanted to get that back. He didn't have enough time to head back to his flat to change, Archie was probably already on his way. Archie had a tendency to be stupidly early. Finn packed his kit away and took a quick shower.

Walking past the pitch, he noticed the weather changing. It wasn't cold anymore, the sun seemed to want to come out and be enjoyed by everyone but there was something holding it back. Finn walked past a young family on the seesaw and headed for the swings. This was his most used spot in the park. It's where him and Archie had spent so many hours talking over the years. It's where he and Rae has that chat. It's where he'd taken himself to be alone and just think.

He plonked down on the left swing, pulling out a cigarette and lighter from his denim jacket. He felt like he hadn't had a proper smoke in ages, something he desperately needed. He pulled a drag and watch the smoke float away. Once it disappeared, there came walking Archie.

Where the fuck is everyone? Is there a party or summat I don't know about?
