His second home, before they ever started skating , he, Tony, & Jay would come here to P.O.P pier every morning to surf.
God how he missed it.
"Thought I'd find you here." he looked over his shoulder, Tony.
"Hey." he said a slight breeze gently kissed his skin.
"Can we talk?" Tony asked sitting down next to him in the sand.
"What's there to talk about Tony?"
"How long have you known is a good start."
"A week. & your next obvious question is?"
"Chill out Stacy."
"How can I? 70 percent of kids & teens with it live Tony. & that doesn't count remission."
"& if your one of them? I mean think about it, what if you make it to remission?"
"What if I don't!"
"The teams dead." Stacy looked over his shoulder again finding Skip, Sid, & Jay.
"That's what we had always said if some thing happen to one of us." Tony said.
The memories came flooding back to there promise, Stacy gave a heavy sigh.
"What are we going to do? I mean there's times I'm not going to be able to skate." he said
"Then we won't skate." Jay said simply,
"Guys come on, we can't do that every time." Stacy said partially appreciatively of the thought
"Why not?" Skip asked this was bringing back painful memories of Annie his cousin who had battled Leukemia. He was 16 when she died, his best friend.
" I don't want to make you miss them because of me." Stacy said.
"Stacy, What's more Important? Friends or Fame" Sid said
Stacy sighed, the weird look on Tony's face made him smile.
"Alright." Stacy said
"Seeing Stacy bald before Skip that's gonna be good!" Sid said as they laughed.
"Shut up." Stacy said he couldn't hold in his laugh any more.
They sat there back in the skate shop, when Skip called Stacy in back.
"What's up Skip?" He asked as he shut the door behind them
"I hate seeing some one go through this again."
"What?"
"My cousin, she had died of the same thing Stacy."
"God Skip I'm sorry!"
"If you ever need me man."
"Always."
"When do you start chemo? Heard that stuff's pretty rough."
"Tomorrow & trust me I'm not crazy about going alone."
"Who says your going alone?" Jay said he & Tony standing at the door.
"I gotta get that knob fixed." Skip said as they laughed
