SCOTT

I'LL BE HERE... ALWAYS

Scotty?
Yes?

I face him and look at his direction.

Can we talk?

He asked as he sat on the bed next to me.

What do you want to talk about?
What do I like the most?

I got confused on his answer at the same time on his question.

I know. It's weird but can you answer it. Please.

He beg and hold both my hands.

Okay...Uhmm... You like the color blue.
What else?
You told me you like to read books.
One more. The one thing that I like of all.
Uhmm... You like.. Me.
Yes.

He kiss my hand and look at me.

Okay. Last question.
What is it?
What is the one thing that I hate?

He asked.
The tone of his voice seems like he was mad but when I look in his eyes it was sad. Like something was bothering him.

Is something wrong?

I asked.

I'm fine. But what is the answer to my question?
Uhmm... You hate... Being left behind.
Correct.
Mitch?

I hold his face. He was sad.

You won't leave me right?

A tear fell on his face.

I won't leave you. I'll be here with you.
Always?
Always I promise.
