"How did I know I'd find you up here?"

Jason Scott can't help the small smile the creeps across his face at the sound of the familiar voice behind. Tommy. Tommy Oliver was one of his oldest and closest friends. If anyone could find him all the way out here it was Tommy.

"Lucky guess." He answers not taking his eyes off the city sprawled out below them. Night is just beginning to fall and the slowly the many street lights start to flicker on.

"I was starting to doubt the rumors of your return to Angel Grove." Tommy teases as he sits down beside his friend on the shallow rock facing. "I mean surely if Jason Scott had returned he would have dropped by to visit an old friend."

"Sorry." Jason takes a sip from the bottle in his hand as he holds out another to the man beside him. "I needed some time to think."

"Understandable." Tommy takes the bottle and twists it open. He takes a swig watching the car lights move far below as silence fall over them. After a few minutes he looks over at his friend. "You know I'm here for you if you ever want to talk about it."

"Yeah, I know." Jason replies without taking his eyes off the familiar view spread out before him. Even in the fading light he can pick out all of the places he liked to hang out at in his youth. Though somehow that now feels like a lifetime ago rather than only a few years. He takes another pull from his bottle before breaking the silence. "She said she wasn't going to be anyone's second choice. That it wouldn't be fair to either of us."

Tommy looks at his friend again knowing who he was referring to. Emily. Jason's most recent girlfriend. He knows that she is probably right but refrains from saying it out loud and instead waits from Jason to continue.

"I know," Jason smiles again as he gives Tommy a knowing look. "She's right. That's what you are thinking and you're both right."

"Everyone deserves to have that one person that makes them feel complete."

"Yeah. Guess I'm just out of luck." Jason sighs taking another drink.

"You wouldn't have to be if you'd just talk to her." Tommy responds.

"Wouldn't do any good. Emily made herself absolutely clear…"

"I wasn't talking about Emily."

Jason turns to give an as bewildered look as he can manage to his friend. He wants to see where this is going without actually revealing too much.

"Come on, Jase. Really?" Tommy smirks back. "I may have been young and stupid but I wasn't completely blind."

"You've lost me, buddy."

"Kimberly." Tommy says outright. "I saw the way you looked at her back then. How she always looked to you."

"Kimberly?" Jason lets out a soft chuckle. "Naw, man. She was all about you. We grew up together. I was like the brother she never had."

"No, I'm the one who was like a brother to her. I got the letter to prove it. Well had…" Tommy smiles faintly. "Talk to her."

"Naw…it would make things weird." Jason smiles looking down at the bottle in his hands. "Besides wouldn't be right to begin with. Isn't it like one of the first rules of dating to not date your friend's ex?"

"I don't believe this." Tommy laughs.

"What?"

"After everything we've been through, I never thought I'd see the day you were afraid to do something."

"You're crazy. I am not afraid of anything."

"Then talk to her." Tommy challenges.

"No." Jason answers fighting to keep the grin off his face.

"I'll talk to her for you."

"Huh? No." Jason loses his battle and his lips turn upward. "Are we a couple of high school girls now?"

"A couple of the oldest, ugliest high school girls, bro." Tommy laughs as he pats his friends shoulder making him chuckle. Another silence falls over them as they stare out at the stars starting to pepper the horizon.

"But seriously man, you should talk to her." Tommy says with a straight face. "The past is the past. What she and I had was good but it was never going to last."

"Even if I could, I wouldn't know what to say." Jason shakes his head. "She'd probably think I'd lost my mind."
