Alter Call
Vick Scaner sat on the porch by his television asking himself, “is it better to have loved and lost than to not have love at all?” He could not answer that question amid his present situation. “Barbra was the only girl for me, and she left me at the altar for my friend,” Vick complained in distraught.
Vick was a 35-year-old, five foot and six inches, overweight sales manager at a car company. His girlfriend, Barbra had been cheating on him for the past five years that they had been together.
Furthermore, she was controlling and always maltreated Vick. He was infatuated with Barbra. He over-looked a lot of tells that Barbra was not committed to the relationship. She always made excuses as to why she could not make several of their mutually planned dates.
Vick always thought she travelled a lot for her job. She was the secretary to Vick’s best friend, Leroy. It was a job that Vick had helped her get. Although Vick had a feeling that Leroy and Barbra might be having a fling, he convinced himself otherwise and decided he was paranoid.
It was not until the day of their wedding, two weeks ago, when he was left at the altar that he realized he should have addressed his concern in a more serious manner.
Vick, who had been friends with Leroy longer than he had been with Barbra, was depressed beyond words. He watched his once beloved girlfriend, Barbra run away with his one of few friends, Leroy.
When the heart-broken man asked why she did such a thing to him, all she could say was: “Leroy is more of a man than you could ever be.” Those words have been ringing in Vick’s head for the past two weeks since the incident.
All he did since that time was drink and eat thereby making him gain 20 more pounds to his already overweighed body of 250.
“Hey Vick, are you in there?” Vick’s co-worker said. “This is Erik from work.” Vick did not move an inch from where he sat. He barely heard his doorbell ringing. He had been sitting in the same spot for the last two weeks, getting up only to get food from his freezer and to order from Thai and Chinese restaurants.
Vick still had on a shirt and trouser from his “never-happened” wedding. “Hi Vick, I let myself in, the door was open… damn! Dude you stink as hell man” Erik, Vick’s co-worker could barely finish his words because of the stench he perceived as he entered Vick’s two-bedroom apartment.
Vick remained quiet as he stared at the television he hadn’t changed since he sat on his couch. Erik noticed the take-out plates all around Vick’s already messed up apartment.
“Dude look at you man, this ain’t right fool. I know you went through hell but this will not solve your problem home boy.” Eric, who was a tall and nice looking Latin American man, said as he was trying to comfort his co- worker. Dejected Vick was surprised at Eric’s behavior because they had just recently started talking.
“Hey man, you would not feel any better if you lock yourself up in this place,” Erik said looking around before he finished his words. “Come on, let’s go out tonight, you, me, and some big booties all up in our faces all night bro!” Vick’s reactions were as if he hadn’t heard a word Erik had said, but he nodded his head and got up and headed towards his room. “Holy shit dude! Even ass smells better than you right now man!
