A glass of Guinness and a good game to play was, among other things, Henry's favourite thing to do in order to relax.

He wasn't expecting the phone call though...

"Henry?"

It was his girlfriend, "Yeah, what's up?" He was concentrating on the game, but had put the phone on speaker so he could hear her.

"Well... Tonight's date. I wanna cancel."

Henry blinked, cancel the date? Why?

"You busy? We could meet up tomorrow instead?"

A pause, then she said, "No thanks..."

"Is something wrong?" Henry's life went down ten percent in the game, shouldn't have attacked, could've dodged that.

"Yeah. I wanna split."

This shocked Henry. He'd been trying so hard to make this relationship work for them, and he had failed. Again.

His character's life went down seventy percent.

"Okay." He whispered, heart breaking. I don't want to fight her, so I'll let her be...

"Sorry babe. I know it hurts."

Henry sighed, "Yeah."

It was one o'clock when Henry woke up. He turned over and cried back to sleep.
