"We're born alone, we live alone, we die alone. Only through our love and friendship can we create the illusion for the moment that we're not alone." – Orson Welles

He remembers how they met in junior high.
Christopher Sullivan, forever a joker and a flirt, had hit on the wrong girl. Her boyfriend was angry and only Henry Dunn's quick thinking saved him from losing a lopsided fight. Sully was grateful, and Henry had his first best friend from the mainland.
They did everything together, from ding-dong-ditch to double-dates with Trish Wellington and Sully's ever-changing girlfriends. They went to college together, and it was Sully who Henry asked to be his best man.
And, though Henry is there, easily confessing his actions, Sully realizes he's never been more alone.
Author's Note: With NaNoWriMo coming up in November, I'll most likely be putting most of my chaptered fics on hiature -- I never mean to intentionally, it just sorta happens. But, as a writing exercise where every word counts, I want to write a series of drabbles for HI (and Newsies, probably). I'm going to go through the alphabet, 26 letters and 26 100 word drabbles. I'm accepting prompts and character requests so, if you have any, let me know. I hope you guys like these ;)
