Sit down,” she said patting the bed.Gary sat down on the bed next to his mom. She had a tray of food in front of her which consisted of Campbell’s...chicken soup and a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. Gary was amused by his uncle’s cooking skills.“So you doing ok mom?” Gary asked.She nodded. “I am now. I was just really upset yesterday. I’m sorry about your birthday too.”Gary shrugged. “It’s ok mom. Ginger and I still had a great time.”“She seems sweet,” Alice stated.Gary nodded in agreement.. My mind was clear now, what I was doing was wrong. I shouldn't have done that with Rob, but it was too late now.“Keenan...” I walk over to him and he backs off. “I'm sorry.”“Did you tell him the same shit you told me?” He growls and I shut my eyes, shaking my head. “God, I never should have trusted you.”Rob looks at him. “Look-”“Don't talk to me. Seriously.” He glares at him. I stay quiet, knowing nothing I can say. He looks back at me as I open my eyes. “I thought we had something...”“We did.”. I needed to cry first before I could let them go and now I have to start to figure out what I need to do for my future and me. I'll miss them, but now I have to do what I need to do for me. I'll try to make them proud." I'm sure you'll make them very proud, my friend."As we pointed the car south, Doug started thinking about his future and specifically what his interests might include.From there we hit Rhode Island and Connecticut. Since New York City was in the way, we decided to visit Times. I never ever took interest in her, I knew she was in my class but never bothered. I never admired her. Days passed by and we started talking to each other.One night I partied a lot drank much, reached home late night around 2am and standing at the gate my mom shouting at me. I went to sleep and I couldn’t catch up with school the other day. Next day when I went to school, when I entered my class I saw her sitting alone; she didn’t know that I was present that day. I went to her, stood beside.
