"Hey Jenn."

I can hear him crying over the reciever. He's trying to cover it up but, sadly it's not working.

"Hey, what's wrong?" I ask.

"Well, my Grandma just died and I wanted to tell you first because I know you'll understand me better than anyone else right now, knowing that your grandma died to,'' ''I just want to let you know that I'm not gonna be at school for 2 weeks because her funeral is going to be all the way across the country.''

''John, it's okay.''

''I have to go Jenn,'' he says while crying. ''I'll call you tomorrow in the morning bye.''

''Bye, I love you John.''

I hang up my phone when my brother's head sticks through the window. 

''What are you doing up here?'' I ask. 

''Is mom home?'' he asks.

''Yes, downstairs why?''

''I'm going to go to Kennedy's, my girlfriend's house for the night. Cover for me?''

''Fine, but you owe me big time got it?''

''Okay whatever.''

I watch as Joel slowly makes his way down the tree against my window.

''Wait, watch out Joel!''
