Garden of The Troubled

Scene Three

(Ian Parker, Jason Slim, Rikkard Rossi)

It was 2 PM at Università di elite. Ian Parker, son of famous wedding dress designer Kate Parker stood 6ft tall in his room with his friends.

"Caleb's throwing a party tonight, a back-to-school party." Jason paused, looking up at Ian "Are you coming?" he continued.

"You know, to clear your head and stuffs Sarà divertente!" Rikkard added.

"Even though I don't know what the last part he said meant, I agree with him," Jason said.

Ian looked at both guys sitting on his bed and sighed. He wiped down his face with both hands, an action he did when he was stressed.

"School hasn't even started yet and I'm this strained emotionally." Ian breathed

"More reason you should come with us to this party. It starts at 7, what do you say?.

"I'd see if Eros would like to go," Ian said.

"Eros? Really? Come on you know his answer would be a no, why bother asking" Jason whined.

"It wouldn't hurt to ask" Ian shrugged.

"He isn't here yet?" Rikkard asked.

"He is. He went out" Ian replied.

"So are you coming or not?" Jason asked for confirmation.

"Fine. I would be there. Where is it holding?"

"I'll text you the address"

"Now would you guys leave? I need to take a nap."

"How nice of you to chase your best friends out"

"You know Eros is my best friend" Ian rolled his eyes.

"Whatever makes you sleep" Jason replied getting on his feet.

"Come on Rikkard," Jason said, before leaving the room with Caleb

"See you at Caleb's" he added just before shutting the door.

Ian picked up his phone and dialed Eros's number. Eros picked the call on the third ring.

"What?" he spat

"Hello to you too" Ian replied in a sing-song voice.

"What do you want Ian"

"Are you okay?"

"You called just to ask that?, I'm hanging up."

"Wait Eros" Ian sighed "Where are you?"

"In my car, why?" Eros spat.

"There is a back-to-school party at....."

"No, I'm not coming" Eros cut Ian off as he hung up.

"I take that as the meeting with his dad didn't go well," Ian said to himself.

Though Eros never told Ian about meeting his dad, he rarely told him anything about him but Ian knew Eros. He knew Eros had always been like that. Eros never talked about himself but instead figured everyone out, he knew he was a very observant person who nothing passes by and also knew he was the only friend Ero’s had. He knew he was Eros's best friend even though Eros would never admit to it.
