torn

just tonight after a long while, I prayed. I said, "God, what should I do?"

Long time ago, when I was in high school, and also in church, I had a good friend. His name is Donn. He was literally my one and only best friend in church. Before, during and most of the time, after services, we'd find a hidden mini store near the service venue and smoke a cigarette, tear a few leaves off a nearby plant and use it as a hand sanitizer, masking our scent with the smell of crushed leaves.

He would then spend a few weeks sometimes @ our place and it was fun, although we'd fight about food cause he eats A LOT. but nevertheless, good times.

Then, i left the church 5-6 years ago which was pretty much the last time I saw or heard from him.

Earlier this evening, he sent me a message. Saying he's in deep shit and that he needed my help. He also said that the least thing I could do was to let him stay here at my place for at most a week till he finds another place to stay. Shortly after getting the message, my phone rang and it was him. I couldn't decide whether to pick up or not. It was a long time and I don't know if I can feed or have him stay for a week in this puny little home of ours. God, even I and bear can't even sleep properly together in this room, where would I have him stay? He kept calling for like 10 times or so.

So I prayed.

It would've been fun to have caught up with him again, after all these years and after all we've been through, but I don't know, given his circumstances and mine.

Should I reply? Give him a call? have him stay over? or should I just ignore him? what should I do?
