Joel explained to me in the bathtub, what he talked about with Ender. It was strange to hear these two men talking about me behind their backs. Ender was the one who decided to leave, it was his own decision that led him in his departure. Still, he left without saying goodbye for a reason.
I can only assume he wanted to end our relationship this way. I tried to reconcile, rekindle our friendship from zero. However, the man doesn't seem like he wanted to rekindle our friendship. It must have hurt him in some ways, otherwise, he wouldn't resort to his cowardice tactics to avoid my gaze.
I remembered what he said when we were involved in Joel's silly little game, he declined my offer to start over again. It was his decision and yet I feel like none of us tried our best to resolve the matter. I confided in him and decided to ask for his opinion. However, Ender declined me, it was unexpected for him to decline.
