Best Friends 'til the End! Part 2
After the party, I was the responsible person and did NOT drink and drive. Instead, I slept over at his house. When I woke up, things started to heat up between he and I. I guess talking to each other for so long and rekindling our friendship made our feelings for each other even stronger. Unfortunately, after that, things started to get weird and he started to avoid me and things just weren't adding up. He was my best friend and the way he was talking to me just wasn't like him. So, as awkward as it was, we sat down and talked about it. We talked about how each other felt, and what happened and why it happened. We came to an agreement that we are just better off as friends and nothing more relationship wise. I wasn't happy about it because what I felt was completely real love for him. I knew that if we wanted to stay friends that I would just have to agree to being just friends and nothing more. After that he came with me to my house to see my parents and just hung out and reminisce about the past and how everyone was. We ended the day at the gun range with my dad letting boys be boys, and of course I couldn't let them think I didn't know how to target shoot.

Best Friend 'til the End!
June 2000 was the first month that I met one of the people that would soon become my very best friend. At this point I am 6-years-old and moving into a new house with my family and know no one. Our house was the first one on the back end of our street but there were houses behind it. Little did I know that my best friend would be literally in my backyard. His name was Bradley. He was only 2 at the time but our parents soon became very close and so did we. Wherever I was, there was Bradley and wherever Bradley was, there I was. He and I would spend almost everyday playing together going between each other's houses, being kids and playing like kids did before technology took over our lives. My dad wanted to get a dog but the rule my mom had was that he could only do it if he put up a fence. To a kid, this fence meant that getting to my friend would become a little harder. It wasn't until the very last day that my dad was putting up the fence that he had a surprise for Bradley and I. A gate. Now you may be thinking, "Oh wow a gate, big whoop," but to a 3-year-old and a 6-year-old it was a very big deal. This gate was put in especially for us, able to be opened from both sides so that we could get to each other. Boy did we use it! He would come knock on my window every morning even before anyone in either house was awake, just because he wanted to play and we didn't want to wait for our parents to wake up. The beauty of the gate. Fast forward a year and our worlds were turned upside down. One morning, something was different. I didn't get the little taps at my window. My best friend didn't come to get me to go play. I was confused. Something was wrong. I went to my parents' room and woke up my dad. I told him Bradley didn't come to my window. His reasoning with me was that maybe he was sleeping in, or his parents took him on a trip somewhere. Well it wasn't until later in the day we got the news. My parents sat me down and tried the best that they could to explain something so terrible to a then 7-year-old.
