Wait for Me!!!!!!

Imagine this. You were grabbing a bite with your two best friends, having the best porridge in town (Why porridge? Cos I said so). Prior to your first bite, another friend called and asked if you could bring his cell to his house. (He left it in your friend's car earlier. You've found it and brought it with you). After your first meal, you ended up chatting for a couple of minutes. Conversations ranged from friendship, work, lovelife, the usual suspects. In short, you were having a good time.

Afterwards, one of your friends paid the tab and the three of you started walking to her car. With them already sitting in front, you settled for the back seat. As you opened the rear door, something flashed in your mind. You left your friend's cell on the table next to the porridge bowl. Alerted, you briskly closed the car door and ran back to the shop. You asked the waiter if he had seen the phone. No luck... . You thought to yourself, maybe one of your friends has it.

You walked back to the parking lot only to find an empty parking space. ...pause for effect... Then you saw your friends car on the corner of your eye, rushing from the exit. You could've tried to run after them and risk looking awfully silly, but instead, your mind played a looping footage from several years ago, when you experienced something frighteningly similar.

Meanwhile, on board the car, both of your friends were apparently having a good time. Singing, talking, joking, and laughing, not a single hint of your absence in their conversation. But wait... what's that ringing? It's one of your friend's cell... and on the screen... your name was displayed as bright as ever. Took a couple of seconds for them to realize it. Then both of them glanced back to find an empty backseat.

And there you have it... a true story heard from a friend.
