Endless Friendship, Timeless Love: Prologue
He wrapped his arms tightly around himself. The icy wind whipped against him, chilling him.
He stood in the snow, watching as the cars drove past one by one.
The snowflakes fell around him…never touching him…just falling around him.
His eyes held no luster. His face was sad.
"Is there someone who cares? Is there anyone?" He sighed softly, shivering slightly.
"You shouldn't be out here in the snow like this."
Startled, he turned around. Crimson eyes greeted him.
"Who are you? I haven't seen you here before."
"I arrived today…my mother killed herself…" The young boy said softly.
The boy was maybe eight or nine, the same age he was.
"I'm sorry…"
"It's alright." The boy gave him a smiled, "So why are you standing out here in the cold."
"I...the snow gives me comfort, I guess…and I was hoping maybe it'd end my life for me." He smiled wryly.
"Don't you have a little brother?"
"Yeah…he's the only thing that keeps me going. Nobody else cares. I have no friends."
"I'll be your friend."
He looked up stunned, "You will?"
The boy smiled at him, "Of course"
"Forever?"
"Forever."
"You promise?"
"Promise!"
He smiled. His first smile in a long time and hugged the other boy, who hugged him back.
"We'll be friends forever, no matter what. Nothing will keep us apart."

"No, please! Don't go!"
"I have to." His voice was subdued. His crimson eyes were distant.
"You promised to stay with me. Three years ago! You promised!"
"I'm sorry…I can't stay. I have to go with them. They adopted me."
"No you don't have to go with them! You can stay with me!"
"I agreed to go with them." He walked over to him, "We will be friends, no matter what. I will see you again."
"But…"
"I'm sorry. I have to go, my friend, my dear friend." Tears formed in crimson eyes as he turned to walk away.
"You promised. You promised!"
"I'm sorry." He walked away, tears flowing.
The twelve-year-old boy collapsed on the floor, tears streaming down his face. He watched as his friend walked away from him.
"You promised. You promised me we'd be friends forever!"
