We soon went to high school with eachother Him being the coolest guy in school and me being a total freak it was almost as if it was are lil secret th...t we were bff's.When i finnaly got to college and turned 18 I was sad me and him were going to different colleges i thought he would always be by my side and i was starting to think about my past and he was one of my only friends I guess a had a couple of girl friends.One day he hit me up And asked if I wanted 2 go 2 his BIG 18th birthday party. He decided to leave that thought for later ponderance. Right now, something much more important was at hand. “Taz, I want you come back to my quarters with me.”“What for?” she asked suspiciously. “I really appreciate you giving me a shoulder to cry on, but I don’t think I’m quite up for...”“Not for that,” he said—although he certainly wouldn’t turn it down if it were offered. “I need you to get Ox on the comm for me. I want to speak to him.”“Why?” she asked.“I want to save his naval career,” he. It almost killed me. My mom had to go to work to get extra money for the medical bills. They brought in a special nurse who took care of me. I was really sick for years. I had several operations, years of therapy.’ Cal was listening, but he was also involved with her back, her neck, and with trying not to be too aware of what her hand was doing, ‘Gee you’re twenty-four now. That was twenty years ago.’ She added, ‘You would have been six.’ He sat back. A shiver had just gone up his spine and he. What a fucking nightmare of a birthday I thought.I wasn't more than a mile down the 46 when I saw the blue and red strobe lights of a police car shining in my rear view mirror. Fuck, just what I need on my birthday another disaster. I pulled off to the side of the road and into a rest area then turned off the ignition and waited for the officer to get out of his car. In my side mirror I saw him open his door and start up to my car. I rolled down my window and waited, when he got up to my window.
