"I thought we would be together forever..."

Gerascophobia is a fear of growing or aging

Nia, Remy and Ezra are 3 teens who don't want to grow up. They've known each other since birth and you know what? shit happens. Stick around for the fun, the...
"Papa can i go outside?" I said tugging at my dad's shirt. He looked at me with tired eyes and told me to take my ass in the house.
JKJK YALL THOUGHT
"It's too early" my father said looking at me with tired eyes. I sighed and whimpered until he finally let me go. "Fine but don't come home too late" he said chuckling.
I ran to Ezra's house and knocked on his door as hard as my little hands could. Ezra's mom opened the door with a cigarette in her mouth as usual. "What is it honey?" She said while blowing smoke in the air.
"Is Ezra here?" She nodded and gestured me to his room. His dad was sitting in his chair watching tv with a blunt in his mouth as usual. His older brother Parker was mindlessly playing with his tech decks. I walked into Ezra's room and he quickly stopped what he was doing.
"What's that" I said and it looked as if he was hiding some makeup behind his back. "Nothing" He said and I shrugged it off. "Do you wanna hang out today" I said twiddling my thumbs.
He nodded and we went straight to Remy's house. We knocked on the door and his mother opened the door and without fail she was cooking. "Ms what are you making?"
She put some Tostones with mojito sauce on a plate for us.

Before you leave make sure you eat. "Of course Ms.Diaz!" We said smiling at her. We went into Remy's room and he was playing with his trucks. "What are you guys doing here?" Remy said still playing with his cars.
"Idk i'm bored i figured we should go to the park" I said shrugging with my hands in my pockets. Ezra spoke up and said "Maybe we could get ice cream too?"
Remy looked up from his cars and the three of us all said "I don't have any money" at the same time. "What should we do?" I said looking around the room.
"Maybe we can get some find some quarters on the street?" Ezra said looking at his feet. We all nodded in agreement and went back into the kitchen to eat before we left. Remy's older brother Angel said sup to us on our way out.
We ate our food and thanked Ms.Diaz. Remy and Ezra held my hand on the way to the side walk. "What are you bloody kids up to?" Crackhead Styles our neighborhood crackhead said.
"Just looking for quarters" I said kicking rocks. "For what?" Crackhead styles said sighing. "Ice cream!" Remy said jumping up. "Ezra Are your parents still high off their ass?" Crackhead styles said and Ezra nodded. Crackhead styles handed us 5 dollars and said "Bobs your uncle, you can buy ice cream now"
"How did you get that" Ezra said being a nosy little fuck. "Crack head activities" Crackhead styles said while speeding away on his scooter. "That was weird" I said and we all nodded in agreement.
We walked over to the ice cream truck and our local ice cream woman Ms. Summers greeted us. "What do you little fuckers want?"
"I'll take Mint chocolate chip!" I said
"I'll take Strawberry!" Remy said
"I'll take Cookies and cream!" Ezra said
"That'll be 4 dollars" We handed her 4 one dollar bills and she examined each one. "Where did you get this money from? Are you selling dope?" Ms Summers said suspiciously.
"Um we're 5 years old" Ezra said nervously
"Ezra aren't your parents always high? I wouldn't be surprised if they sold too" Ms. Summers said smirking. Remy held Ezra's hand tight.
"We got it from Crackhead Styles" I said speaking up. "Oh that fucker" She said rolling her eyes. "Here you go" She said handing us our ice cream and we walked off.
"Can I try some of your ice cream?" Remy said
I gave him my cone and he ate half of my ice cream. "What the hell Remy you said some" Remy shrugged and Ezra just laughed. To get back at him I shoved my ice cream cone in his face. "No fair!" Remy said hollering.
I took his ice cream cone and ate it while he was distracted with ice cream in his face. Ezra held onto his ice cream tight. "Puss boy" Remy yelled at Ezra as he ran away.
"He's so damn soft" Remy said sighing. I just ignored it as usual. "Wanna go home?" Remy said asking.
"Yeah sure" I said sighing. We walked to my house and knocked on the door. My sad opened the door and seemed a little mad. "Better late than never" My dad said seemingly annoyed. We both walked in and as we were walking to my room my dad pulled us aside. "What's remy doing here?"
"He's staying over" I said yawning
"Does his mom know?" My dad said
"Nope" I said desperately wanting to go to sleep. My dad picks up the house phone and calls Remy's mom to make sure it's okay he can stay over. Remy's mom agrees and we finally get to my room.
I pull out a blanket for Remy so he can sleep on the floor and I get into my bed.
