Chapter 4: Losing Friends
ОглавлениеAs time went on, Mateo’s love of beer turned into a habit of consumption. Day after day, he found himself sitting on the same bar stool, sipping glass after glass of frothy beer. The once rare self-indulgence had become a daily ritual, and the consequences were taking their toll on his health.
Mateo’s excessive alcohol consumption began to manifest itself in subtle but disturbing ways. His once smooth black coat began to lose its luster, becoming dull and unkempt. His lively green eyes, once filled with curiosity and mischief, now seemed clouded and distant. His springy gait turned into a sluggish shuffle, and his once abundant appetite faded.
As Mateo’s behavior changed, so did the dynamics of his social circle. The cats and dogs that used to be his close companions began to move away, worried about his unpredictable and sometimes inappropriate behavior. Mateo’s once vibrant social life has faded away, leaving him feeling isolated and depressed.
However, despite the discouraging changes in his relationship, one loyal friend remained by his side – the gray cat Tommy. Despite Mateo’s difficulties, Tommy continued to be by his side, offering to listen to him and comforting him with his presence. They still met at the bar, but while Mateo drowned himself in beer, Tommy preferred his usual fruit juices, anxiously watching his friend sink deeper into the addiction.
Despite Tommy’s unwavering support, Mateo’s heart ached as he watched the gap between him and his former friends widen. He longed for the days of carefree laughter and adventures together, but his addiction to alcohol drove a wedge between them.
As the city lights flickered outside the bar, casting a warm glow on the dimly lit streets, Mateo struggled with the realization that his excessive pampering had cost him precious friendships. With a heavy heart, he wondered if there was a way to fix what was broken and regain the trust and friendships he had lost. But deep down, Mateo knew that the journey to redemption would be fraught with difficulties and uncertainty.
