Hey Matt!" Alfred ran up to Matthwe "So what did the doctors say do they know why you throat hurts so much?"

Matthew looked down and nodded.

"Matt what's wrong. Tell me what did they say!"

"Al… I'm scared " Matthew's voice barley above a whisper. His eyes watering up.

"They said I have a tumour in my throat. That's why it hurts to talk to loud."

"But they can get it out right. There doctors they have to help you!" al said hopeful smile on his face.

"They can but …..i might never be able to talk again."

Alfred smile fell and so did his heart matt was his best friend in the hold world they knew everything about each other .

"Al I'm so scared I don't want to be mute" the smaller blonde cried and hugged his friend.

Alfred hugged his best friend back tightly

"Shhh it's going to be ok Mattie I'll be here I wont ever leave your side I promise !" he said petting matt's head.

"Y-You wont? "

"No I wont I will protect you with my life and stay by you side to help you be strong." He promised matt.

"I'll even learn sign language with you so even if you do lose your voice I'll still be able to talk to you "

Matt gave a small a smile. "Promise me the day I have my surgery you'll be there when I wake up so even if i cant talk I'll at lest have you there."

"I promise "

Years later

*Knock knock * "Come on Mattie I'm not going to wait forever!" the teen yelled. Matt burst out the door panting and gave Al an apolitical smile.

"Come on I know you don't wanna be late for school.'

Matt nodded ant he headed of toward school .

"Hey Matt you got to note for English right I didn't get them all down so can I please copy yours at lunch it not cheating it's just to help me study so I can pass English."

Matt let out breathy laugh. And singed to Al "*yah of course Al want are friends for *"

"Ah thanks Matt your really save my butt again"

"*you owe me*"

"I know I do I really do."

Yes matt had lost his voice. It was likely he would never speak again. Bust just as he had promised Alfred was always there for him and because of him Matt still found reasons to smile and be happy. If not for Alfred it was likely Matthew never would have smiled again, or even made it to high school but they were both in grad 11 now more that half done high school. And still best friends!
