sweat sprouted along his forehead as he sped down the road, the rain pelting along the car making it borderline impossible to hear. the heater was on full blast and somehow, despite the pattering of raindrops on the exterior of the car, he could barely make out the song on the radio. he feels bad, he had to borrow steve's car to take a drive.

today wasnt a normal day. he hadnt gotten much sleep, and he was broke, so he couldnt buy anything for his friends birthday.

friend.
