“Then it’s settled.... will I see you

“Hehe.. yeah you will see me after the game, in the morning after the game... hehe ..... guess your Dad

Mike quickly jogged towards the truck and as he climbed in, he looked back at Billy and
smiled. “HAPPY BIRTHDAY BUD”
and then he was inside and the truck was pulling away.
Billy stood outside watching the truck’s tail lights vanish in the night. He turned
to see his brother and father by the front door watching his every movement.
Slowly he walked up towards them, and then in a sudden rush of emotion he
rushed into their arms, tears running down his cheeks, only this time they
were tears of absolute joy.

Well another birthday was over and he stared at the bluish green numbers flashing on
his clock radio as he lay in bed thinking over this totally radical day and
night.
He couldn’t have
imagined it all could he?
No, the tingle he felt around his lips were real alright, even Taylor
said so. Funny, he thought it would be difficult telling Tay about Mike but
instead it was super easy. And Tay, well he was Taylor and for some reason
all he did was smile at Billy, never once did it really seem to phase him
that now his younger brother was embarking on a journey with some other guy.
No longer would there be their own special nights together, and Billy felt
sad at that. He even managed to tell that to Tay who merely reached over and
kissed his brother.
