(supporting information: For years I whittled away at the edges of a brick in the side of my house by my bedroom window. One day, it came lose, and I just kept it in the wall as a bizarre form of achievement.)
My ex girlfriend Jessica, and close friend of three of close friends, told everyone that she was leaving for college up north back in 2003. We were all about 19 at the team.
We said our goodbyes to her at a big party that we put together for her. And we hoped to see her when she got back. Well we found out from her best friend, 5 months later, that she never went to college. She just stayed home and avoided everyone she knew so that she could have time to herself. We didn't take this well. Were we such shitty friends that she had to lie to us in order to just get some time away? We decided to show her how shitty we can be.
I took the brick out of the wall, and I put it in a box. I took it to my three friends to sign a little card. It said "Merry Christmas from the friends worth keeping in the dark." It was Christmas Eve, and I drove to her house at midnight, left the box on her parent's doorstep saying "To Jessica", and drove away.
She opened the box in the morning and I heard that she cried and cried.
