" Mitchell&amp;#039;s going away party was at the club where he hosts his monthly comedy show. They had shows going on all night, but they closed the bar area to the public. When I showed up around 9:30, the party had been going for hours, and there were tons of people there. I scanned the crowd for Ben and Ursula, and found them sitting in a booth with Caroline and Sandy. Ugh, Sandy. &amp;quot;Hey everyone,&amp;quot; I said as I approached. Caroline smiled and waved hello. Ursula and Ben, who were on the outside, got up to give me a hug, and a hug and kiss, respectively, and Sandy, who was seated next to Ben (of course she was) gave me a fake smile that looked like it was causing her pain. I scanned the immediate area for a chair, and didn&amp;#039;t see one. &amp;quot;Sandy, let&amp;#039;s go say hi to Neil,&amp;quot; Caroline suggested. Sandy gave Ben a lingering look, and then got up and walked away with Caroline. &amp;quot;She really is unbelievable,&amp;quot; Ursula said after Sandy was out of earshot, shaking her head incredulously. I laughed, and Ben turned red, which was either embarrassment or alcohol, or a combination of both.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m going to go get a drink,&amp;quot; Ben said. &amp;quot;Can I get you ladies anything?&amp;quot; We gave Ben our drink orders, and he left to fetch them.  &amp;quot;Have you talked to Mitchell?&amp;quot; I asked. &amp;quot;We made some painful small talk when I got here,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;I was going to head out shortly after that, but I haven&amp;#039;t seen any of these people since we broke up, besides you and Ben, and it&amp;#039;s been kind of nice. It sucks. I lost all of the friends in the breakup.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Not all of them,&amp;quot; I pointed out. &amp;quot;Plus, with Mitchell gone, you can totally steal them all back.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Ha! True. I&amp;#039;m trying to figure out how I can steal Caroline without getting Sandy in the deal.&amp;quot; Neil came over to say hello, and we invited him to join us. &amp;quot;I was really sorry to hear about you and Mitchell,&amp;quot; he said to Ursula. &amp;quot;How are you holding up?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m hanging in there,&amp;quot; she said. I quickly began feeling like the third wheel, as Neil had his attention focused solely on Ursula. When he said how much he missed seeing her all the time, and suggested they make plans to hang out, I excused myself and set off in search of Ben. I found him at the bar, doing shots with Mitchell. &amp;quot;K.!&amp;quot; Mitchell exclaimed, giving me a hug and kiss on the cheek. &amp;quot;Do a shot with us! Tad \u2013 another round of shots for me and Ben, and one for the lady.&amp;quot; Ben looked back in the direction of our booth, and smiled. &amp;quot;Mitchell,&amp;quot; he said, elbowing him in the ribs, and nodding toward the booth. &amp;quot;Check it out.&amp;quot; Mitchell looked over at Ursula and Neil, who appeared to be deep in conversation. He threw his head back and laughed. &amp;quot;What&amp;#039;s so funny?&amp;quot; I asked. &amp;quot;Neil told me a million years ago that if Ursula and I ever broke up, he was going to date her. He said that I couldn&amp;#039;t get mad about it because he was warning me in advance.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;It doesn&amp;#039;t bother you?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;Neil doesn&amp;#039;t have a chance.&amp;quot; The night was long, sloppy and fun. Around 2:00am, I hit the wall and decided to go home. Ben insisted on going with me, even though I tried to convince him to stay out. We went back to his place and crashed, and when we woke up this morning, we each had the same text from Ursula. &amp;quot;In hindsight, going home with Mitchell was probably a really bad idea.&amp;quot; Yikes!
