I must admit, sitting with Martin, Made me feel so complete a feeling I haven't felt in ages.
I've felt so empty like something was missing, in fact something was missing and I've known exactly what it was since I was seven.
My best friend in the whole world was the missing thing. Haven't seen him since I was seven.
~~ Flashback~~
"Mummy, why is that man taking Mouse?" I ask sniffling slightly.
"They're going to take him to live closer to his mum," she says rubbing my back.
"Does that mean I'm not going to see him anymore?"
"I'm afraid so dear."
It's then that the tears start to fall.
"We should start heading off now," a man with one hand on Mouse's back and another holding a cup of coffee says, "our flight leaves soon and I don't want to miss it."
"Say goodbye to Mouse, Morgan. You might not see hi-" Mum starts to say, but I'm already halfway down the corridor, running towards Mouse.
I tackle him in a big bear hug, forgetting that he just came out of hospital for third degree burns.
"I'm gonna miss you, Mouse." I say wiping the tears away.
"Me too. But Dave told to me that my new family won't let be bring pets so can you look after him," he says, handing over his most prized possession: a little toy mouse, slightly charred on one side but none the less important.
"You givin' him to me," I say astounded.
"Yeah, but you gotta look after him, ok, he was in the accident as well."
"I promise, promise, promise to never let anything happen to him." I say crossing my heart.
"I know. You're my best friend, Morgan."
"And you're my best friend too, Martin."
I give him one last huge hug before I watch him leave.
I start crying again and Finn comes to comfort me, "Hey, hey, hey, it's alright Morgan. You'll see him again," he looks me square in the eye and continues, "It's not luck that you two are best friends, it's fate, and even though you're far apart, you're still there, by each others sides, no matter what. And one day, you'll find your ways back to each other, even if you didn't plan to.
~~End Of Flashback~~
I didn't really understand what Finn meant by that until I got a little older, and now I look back at what he said everyday, hoping that today will be the day.
