Disclaimer: I don't think much has changed since fifteen minutes ago, when I uploaded the first chapter...


Funny Jaden didn't remember what the fight was originally about. Sy would be laughing about it, too, saying he didn't remember, either. Tears found their way back to Jaden's eyes. "Sy, I miss you," he said in a barely audible whisper.

Hassiberry must have heard him, because he said, "I miss the little guy, too."

"I know. We all do," Jaden told his friend.

"I just keep thinking he's going to come through that door, and start yelling at me for something," Hassiberry said, his smile turning into a frown.

"I can't believe you miss fighting with him," Jaden said, remembering how much Syrus and Hassiberry fought.

"I know, but I meanhe was fun to get all mad, and now I have no one to get fired up," Hassiberry replied, tears falling from his own eyes.

Jaden said he knew what what he meant. Then his mind switched to Zane, Syrus's big brother. Wonder how he's doing, thought Jaden, remembering how Zane wanted him to burn in Hell.
