"The hell!" He tackles me to the ground. "Hey, you weren't really drunk!"
"Hell no! The only thing that I do is smoke, I might drink but it's only socially." He says smiling. That smile. "Hey, is everything alright?" His voice. "Jerry, are you ok?" Everything... "Jerry!"
"Yah I'm fine." I sit there thinking and then I ask, "So why are you here?"
"Remember that story I told you?" He sits up and I do the same. "Yah." He looks up to the sky. "Well, this is it." Then...he must be. "Do you have any pictures? You know, of that Jerry?" I ask him, he looks at me, "Why?" I look away, "Just wondering." I say. He reaches into his back pocket and pulls out a picture. "Here." He hands it to me and I take it. "This is..." I whisper as I stare at the two standing in front of the oak tree. "My dad took this the day you left." I whisper. "Huh, what do you mean?"
"Tom...uh..." I hand it back to him and then I notice that he's wearing a bracelet with half a heart on it that says "best". I reach into my pocket and pull out my bracelet, it too has half a heart on it but it says "friends". "Hey, that's..." He looks at me and I slip it on my wrist and we hold our arms up together and the pieces matched. I feel my face burn and when I look over at him I see he's red. I pull my hand away, "I-I gotta go." I say as I stand and leave. "Jerry!" I hear him say my name and then I feel someone pull onto my hand, "Let go." I say trying to pull away. He turns me around and pulls me into a hug. The hell is wrong with this cat, it's a coincidence. But his smell, it's the same. I hug him back, "Best friends for life, right?" He says. "Yah, right?" I say as he pulls me away, he grabs my chin and kisses me. When we pull away he asks, "Your father's home isn't he?"
"How'd..."
"Anytime he had sex with you, you would always come here and it would always be late at night." I feel my face burn at this. "Don't lie to me, because I can also smell it on you." It burns like hell now. "Um...well, maybe he is." I say scratching my face. He pulls down on my hand, "Jerry."
"Hmm."
"I...I want you to be mine...and mine alone." I watch as he turns red too. "Uh...what?"
"You are my mouse and no one else's...come on I mean we've been friends since we were kids."
"Huh...Tom, well..." I want to tell him I feel the same way but. "I..."
"I can see it in your eyes, I know." He pulls me in for another kiss.
