"I'm just glad this was one of the days I was home."Casey gently rubbed my thigh. "And I'm so glad. Don't leave me. Please. I don't want to be alone."...Judy and I are always here for you, sweetheart, just like when you were little." Yeah," she smiled. "I can always count on you guys. And you know something else?" What?"

Too nervous.”“Pussy.” I said, giggling still.“So jealous. I bet the jets feel—““Wonderful? Yes, yes they do.” I said, laughing my ass off.I laid back against the jet, and sighed, loudly.

I didn’t want them to but I couldn’t help it. I had just lost my best friend. I went back up to my room and moped around. In the days and weeks that followed, life just wasn’t the same. My parents noticed and my mom took me aside and had a talk with me. She told me that life isn’t always pleasant or fair but we have to make the best of it. I needed to do something with my free time. I needed to get a hobby or something. If I was ever meant to see Sam again, it would happen. If not, life would.
