"What Nick?" He asked her noticing that he was crying. Nicky sat next to Alan and hugged him.

"Alan your my best buddy please I don't want you hurt...plus my mommy said I can't be friends with you anymore cause your a bad person..." She said to him. Alan hugged her back and cried harder.

"Friends forever?" Alan asked, Nicky smiled.

"Forever." They pinkie swear, and hugged. Then Nicky mom walked pasted the alley. "Mommy... bye Alan friends forever." She told him and kissed him on the cheek and ran after her mom. Alan was alone and knew it would be for a long time.

He got up and ran on the street he saw Nicky and yelled, "Bye Nicky! Friends forever!" Alan waved and yelled. Tears rolled down his face.

"Bye! Alan! Forever Friends!" Nicky yelled and waved and her mom dragged her away. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*
