4 - Asher

I felt like a complete zombie from lack of sleep over the last two weeks. I must have acted like one too and was about fed up with people asking if I was alright. I politely nodded most days, trying to get my game face on, but I knew I must be failing miserably.

The next person that asked was likely to get a fist in their face and a 'fuck no, I'm not'.

I pulled up to the country club and parked as far away as possible. I was grateful that I was just golfing with Carl that day. The other two wouldn’t have been able to just shut up and play a round of golf. They’d have drill into me until I spilled my shit, but Carl would just poke around a little and then leave me be.

He was my oldest friend besides Geoff, who I was really missing right now. Carl and I liked to pretend we were only business associates, and maybe we were, but either way, he was the closest thing to a friend that I had. I couldn’t help but think of what a great friend Lila would be—that is if she was speaking to me, and didn’t hate my guts for hurting her.

"Hey buddy." Carl smiled as I walked into the lobby of the club. His expression changed a little as he stood up and walked toward me. "Damn... you look rough."

I chuckled and shook his hand. "Thanks. It's been a long couple of weeks. Between the wife hunting and trying to keep my head above water in this sinking market it’s been—never mind, I'm just tired."

"I get it." He patted my back and nodded toward the green. "I already got us a cart. I was hoping like hell you had that pretty little gal with you again today. What was her name? Lila?"

"Yeah. She's back in her world and I'm in mine." I shrugged and held the door open for him.

The fact that our worlds felt like different planets, different solar systems even, had left me questioning my whole life. Nothing felt right, good or remotely exciting without the possibility of her being a part of it.

Most days it was a struggle to even get myself out of bed. For a while I had assumed that I’d just come down with something, but now I knew the funk I was in was a form of depression. Never in my life had I experienced something so screwed up.

I'd have no choice but to visit with my doctor and get on medication soon if something didn’t change fast. I couldn’t be so mentally absent from my business much longer without consequences. I’d tried just shaking it off, but I was still sinking and the apathy I felt for things once so important scared me a little.

"I thought she was looking for your best match or whatever." He got in the driver's seat of the golf cart and I moved to the passenger's side, plopping down with a loud grunt.
