"Where is he? He said he'd be home by twelve..."  I said to myself, frantically tapping my foot on the floor and checking the clock. 12:30. He'd left for the party four hours ago. I had a bad feeling that he'd done something stupid, and was just about to put on my coat when I realized my phone was ringing. I picked it up. Mondo.

"This better be good." I mumbled to myself, then answered the phone.

"Hello?" I said, but I wasn't sure if he heard me over the music blaring in the background.

"Eyyyyy Ishi, so I, pffffbt-f***** up, I know, t-but, everythin's fine, and I'm ok, aight?" 

Que the loud crash followed by laughter. 

"What was that?" I asked, trying and failing to hide my irritation.

"S'just a chair, don-don worry 'bout it,"

"Oh no, I've been worried for THIRTY MINUTES, Mondo. Stay where you are, I'm coming to get you."

"S'fine, I got it, I'll be fi-"

Another loud crash.

"Yeah, no. I'll be there in five." I hung up, without so much as another word. Pulling my coat on the rest of the way, I headed towards the door.
