We meet again. -Lachambers

Where are you?

-(Chris POV)-

When Gordie said he didn't get to say goodbye my heart broke for him knowing how much he loved Denny.I knew he would be broke for a very long while after this.He sat curled in a ball sobbing and i wrapped my arms around him trying to comfort him. He tried to tell me that he was okay though his tears but it was clear he wasn't okay.His were getting puffy and red and he was hyperventilating.I looked down at him wiping his tears.He looked at me with his innocent face trying to catch his breath then he finally said something.

"Sorry about your shirt Chris" i giggled a bit telling him it was okay and then i told him to wait a second while i got something from the tree house.I came back down as fast as i could with a thin blanket that would fit both of us under and Dennys old yankee cap he gave Gordie when he went of to college.I looked at Gordie while i put the blanket over us and with the hat still being too big for him i put it on over his face jokingly the pulled him closer to me so he could try and get comfy.He was under my left are and i slowly heard the sound of his quiet snores increasing.Soon later i fell asleep hoping he would be okay soon enough.

-(Gordie POV)-

The next morning i woke up my head was hurting from crying so much the previous night, But what i did seem to forget was that Chris was with me.I looked up at him peacefully sleeping,the sun rise lit his face in just the right way.His lips were slightly parted ,perfectly pink.Then his eyes started to flutter open then i looked away incase he noticed me looking.No staring, i was staring at my best friend and admiring him in ways i shouldn't be.Chris had closed his eyes again and started talking to me he said,

"How are you Gordie?" and that brought me back to reality.I had lost one of the only good things in my life,Denny.Denny had died last night and i still didn't know how he had died.So i replied with muffled 'okay i guess'.He started to talk about how its okay and i can talk to him i ever need to like last night how i kind of did.My heart dropped when i started thinking about how would never see Denny again.I had to get home to see what happend.

"Gordi-"Chris was going to say another sentence when i jumped up wiping mud of my jeans.

"Sorry Chris,I have to go home.I have to find what happened to Denny!" With that i ran off down the hill of castle rock,through the streets that blurred from my sight the night before.When I turned the corner to my house i saw an empty drive way meaning my mom and dad were out.Maybe they were looking for me?I went into the house through my window that was still open from the last night.I climbed in through there since i had not brung a key out for my unplanned trip to the tree house last night.As i walked around my room i started looking at parts of my room remembering about little things me and Denny did,like in the middle of my room he was getting ready for school because this used to be his room.He was about 11 and i was 4 turning 5, he was tying his laces and i hugged him in the middle of the room but pulled him over by accident he picked me up and threw me on his bed then he said he had to go.I turned around and his room was now mine all this space and so little fills it,other than the good memories.I turned around to the door to walk out of it and had a memory of the last time i saw him before college.He gave his yankee cap to me that day,we walked him to the door he said something cheesey and hugged me telling me he would be back soon.

So that's just it Denny.
