The Devil's Moon (Finished)

Chapter Two

"So you're telling me, not only are you good looking and smart, you're a hero two?" Foggy asked after Matt told him how he lost his eyesight.

"I can't believe you have known him for five months and never told him you lost your eyesight-saving a little old man," I said to him.

I was there that day. We were walking home from school when an elderly man stepped out in the street. A Rand Oil & Chemical truck came speeding towards him. We both saw what was about to happen. The only difference was I froze, he did not. He was so selfless even back then and it cost him his eyesight.

"So did you two ever?" Foggy asked with a devilish smile.

"Eww!" I replied almost spitting out my drink.

"Thanks, tell me how you really feel," Matt replied.

"No, shut up," I said to Matt then looked back to Foggy.

"What I meant was I can not remember a day in my life were Matt was not there. He's my brother from another mother." I said laughing at my own joke.

I was so dizzy from the drinks I almost fell out of my chair.

"Holy shit, are you okay?" Foggy asks as Matt laughed at me.

"Thanks, Matt," I said sarcastically as Foggy helped me up.

"Please, you would do the same if it was me." He responded.

"Do you really think I would laugh at a blind man falling over?" I asked.

"Yes, yes I do." He answered.

"Your right, I would, because that would be hilarious," I told him before finishing my drink.

"Did he ever tell you about Ruth?" I asked him.

"No. Who is Ruth?" Foggy asked with a smile.

I looked over to Matt and he was already blushing.

"Well, there was this girl Ruth who went to school with us and Matt was in love with her. He was super upset when he had to move away because he was never going to see her again. Some being the best wingman ever set up a date for the two. The only problem was that meant I had to sneak him out after curfew from the orphanage." I told him.

"I don't know how I let you talk me into sneaking out." He replied.

"Because you can never say no to me Duck." I teased him.

Foggy choked on his drink for a second before regaining himself.

"Duck?" He asked.

"We used to be best with Friends. I don't know who started it but one day we started calling each other chick and duck." Matt told him.

"You started it. Remember that creepy kid called me chicky and I got mad. You kept it going for weeks. So whenever you called me chick I called you duck." I reminded him.

"Oh yeah. Whatever happened to that kid?" Matt asked.

"I think he's in rehab now," I answered.

"So what happened with Ruth?" Foggy asked.

"Oh yeah. So I hid under his bed until everyone was asleep. Then we set up a fake pillow body and I helped him sneak out of the building. It was actually a lot easier than we thought it would be. So we went down to a party this kid I was seeing was having and he met up with Ruth. Well, some how the Headmistress found out he was gone and where we were." I told him.

"Yeah, she showed up to the party and dragged me out by my ear. It was the worst night ever." Matt finished for me.

"Yeah not before you got your first kiss though." I reminded him.
