Chapter 36
Old friends and kept secrets.
Next day 1:26 pm, at a café in downtown westopolis.
"Really!" said Amy.
"yup me and tails are half brothers. We should've tested sooner." I said as I bit into my sandwich.
"well congrats, you guys look a lot like each other, I always thought youtwo were related in someway." She said as she sipped her coffee.
"excuse me I have to go use the bathroom." She said as she left.
Amy's POV
I went to the bathroom to do my business and such. Wow I cant believe tails and Marshall are brothers. But I still cant believe that Marshall is younger than tails, but tails is a few inches shorter than him.
I washed my hands as I thought to myself, "what would Marshall do for me." Like what would he do for me, if I was in a life or death situation.
I walked out with that thought in my mind, I went to the table and saw Marshall talking to a man.
Marshall's POV, when Amy left to the bathroom.
I looked outside the window as Amy went to the restroom. As I looked outside I heard a familiar voice.
"J?"
I looked behind me and saw my old friend, "Truth".
Truth was a African-American man, about 17 years old. He always wore either caps, or bucket hats. He had a goatee and dark blue eyes. He is my oldest friend and at times, an father figure to me before my mom meet my step dad again.
"Truth?" I said as walked towards me.
"is it really you?"
"yeah."
"DUDE EVERYONE HAS BEEN WORRYING ABOUT YOU!" he yelled as he gave me a hug.
"why the fuck did you run off?' he asked.
"you already know man, my step mom." I said to him.
"look, everyone misses you and wants you back."
"I know, but being here is the happiest I have ever been. Besides no one at home cared about me or my problems."
"I did, your mom did, your step dad did, even your baby brother misses you."
I resisted crying.
"look Truth, I am happy here, I have a place, good friends, I even got a girl friend now. If I stayed home for a few more days, you would see me on the news with a noose around me neck, or shooting up my school. It was too stressful at home for me."
"look I'm sorry. I never knew you felt that way. But if you are happy here, you can stay."
"why are you here anyway?" I asked.
"some agent read my songs, and now I'm a song writer. He got me a deal with a few artists."
"good for you man." I told him with a smile.
"where is your girl friend anyway?"
"in the restroom, but speak of the devil here she is."
I saw Amy walk up to me and give me a kiss.
You make my slinky go doing doing doing.
"Who is this Marshall?" she asked.
"This is my friend Truth, Truth Amy, Amy Truth." I said.
"pleased to meet you Amy, me and Marshall go way back." He said as he put his arm around me.
"well me and Marshall are on a date, and I hate to be rude, but can we just spend some time together, me and Marshall."
"a date then huh Marshall." he said with a curious tone in his voice.
"yeah, well he didn't ask me out, I made the first move on him on new years day." She said as she gave me a eskimo kiss.
"yeah well I will leave you guys alone for now." Said truth as he left.
"hold on Amy I need to tell him something." I said to Amy as I went after Truth.
"look truth please tell no one I'm here." I pleaded with him.
"ok nigga, if you are happy, I'm happy. And besides, if it keeps you from doing stupid shit, I'm down with it." he said as he gave me a hug.
