Chapter 19

The next week was the best week the five friends ever had. They went to a fair and messed around there. Had sleepovers at each of their housed every night. Dueled to the death in Mario Kart. And then came the day when Bob had to leave.

"You'll call us.. Right?" Frank asked giving Bob a hug.

"Of course." Bob said, hugging back.

"You'll visit?" Asked Gerard, joining in on the hug.

"You bet." Bob said.

At this point everyone had tears in their eyes and joined in on the hug. They stayed like that for a few minutes until Bob's parents came out and declared it was time to leave.

Bob pulled back and looked at his friends. "I'll see you all again. I'll make it work." 

"We're friends." Mikey said.

"All of us." Said Ray.

"To the end of the line." All five of them said, tears finally falling down their faces. 

They all smiled sadly as they watched their friend of many years walk away from his house and towards the U-Haul that would take him many states away.

Bob stuck his head out the window and waved. "BYE!!! I'LL SEE YOU AGAIN SOMEDAY!!!"

"BYE!" They all yelled back.

They kept watching until the truck turned and they could no longer see it. 

"I'm gonna miss him." Gerard said.

"We all will." Ray said. 

Slowly they all stared walking down the street and headed to Mikey and Gerard's house. When they got there Gerard's mom told them to sit at the table as she had lunch made.

"Thank you Mrs. Way." Ray said, grabbing a sandwich.

"No problem honey." Mrs. Way said, smiling. 

The boys quietly ate their food, talking about small things and how the rest of the school year would be.

"Only a month and a half left." Mikey said.

"We can do this." Frank said.

"Exams and other testing will be coming up soon." Gerard mentioned.

There was a collective groan around the table. 

"Don't remind me." Ray said, putting his head down on the table.

Gerard patted the floof of fro. "That's my job."

"No it's not." Ray mumbled.

The other chuckled at that.

"Come on. You all go home and get your stuff and get back over here. We'll all go to school together tomorrow." Mikey said.

"All right." Ray and Frank said, getting up from the table. 

"We'll be back in half an hour." Ray said, dragging Frank outside to his car.

Mikey turned to Gerard. "A month and a half. Then we're home free for three months."

Gerard smiled slightly. "Yeah. A month and a half."
