Chapter 2-
"OK." Simon said. Matt walked in and sat down in the chair. Simon sat on the bed.
"OK. Mom told me you are going out tonight. Well lately, every time you have gone out, you have managed to get yourself into some kind of trouble. Well every time you have gotten into trouble, you have always called on me to bail you out. Well I am leaving tonight so I won't be able to bail you out." Matt said.
"I know I am not going to get into any trouble." Simon said.
"That's what you said last time and you ended up getting arrested. Simon. I am not always going to be there for you. I am not always going to be around." Matt said.
"I know. I am not going to get into any trouble though. I promise." Simon said getting aggravated.
"OK. Simon I believe you but I am not always going to be around for you and if you get into anymore trouble.you might end up killing dad. I mean he is already weak enough after having a heart transplant. That would just kill him if you got into more trouble than you already are." Matt said.
"I know." Simon said.
"But do you remember that one time when you were little. Lucy was baby- sitting you and Ruthie. Then you guys went after the mailman and got lost. Do you remember when we got home from Mary's basketball game. You and Ruthie were upstairs in your bedroom and dad came in. He wanted you to promise that you would never do drugs. Well you promised him and I have a feeling that you are breaking that promise."
"Matt. I remember that promise but I have not broken it." Simon said.
"Really. You mean to tell me you have not done ANY drugs what so ever."
"Matt I swear on my life that I didn't."
"OK. Well promise me that no matter how pressured you feel. Don't do drugs. They will mess you up for life and it will just ruin your life."
"Matt. I promise that I will not do drugs." Simon said.
"OK. Well I have to go home and I want to get going before traffic starts so I can make it home early. Remember you promised and I am not going to be here tonight to bail you out of trouble."
"OK. Bye." Simon said.
"Bye." Matt stood up and gave Simon a hug. He went to walk out of the room.
"Oh. Matt. Thank you " Simon said.
"That's what brothers are for." Matt said and he turned to leave.
"Thanks. Oh and Matt. I love you." Simon said.
"I love you too. Be good tonight and stay out of trouble. I'll see you next weekend when me and Sara come to visit." Matt said.
"OK bye. Tell Sara I said hi!" Simon said.
"I will." Matt said.
And with that Matt walked out the door.
"OK." Simon said. Matt walked in and sat down in the chair. Simon sat on the bed.
