        "A clear blue sky, sunny day, rising heat. It's a perfect day for something nice and cold to eat. Ah! Like an ice cream! I got it. I'll go to the ice cream store and buy some there. I'll get some for my bro and his friends too while I'm at it." The brunet thought to himself as he headed towards the ice cream shop. His smile always brightened everyones day. The whole neighborhood knew him and his cousin. He walked to the stop sign and looked both ways. The stop light turned green and he walked down the road to the other side of the sidewalk. He turned left at a big tree and headed to a store called " Silvers ice cream shop ". He walked in but stopped immediately to a huge line. The store looked pretty busy. And full. He looked at the front. He seemed to be searching for someone. He looked around until someone caught his eye. It was a friend and the owner of the shop. Mr.Silver. He lives in the same neighborhood as him and there really good friends. But it's not by force. He acts like a father figure to him. Mr.Silver looked back and at him.
"Ah! Jesse! How are you? Come, come." Jesse walked to the front and greated him.
"Hello Mr.S, how are you doing today? You look pretty busy and tired." Mr.Silver smiled at him.
"I'm fine son. But how are you. I couldn't see you for a couple days. Everything alright?" Mr.Silver looked pretty worried. Jesse smiled and patted his shoulder.
"I'm okay. Its been pretty quiet these days anyway so I'm fine."
"Are you sure? If theres anything thats happened or is going to then you can go to my house. You have the key anyway for emergencies. Its fine if you do. I enjoy your stays you know."
"Yes, and thank you, but really I'm fine. I really just came here for some ice cream, not anything else today." Mr.Silver sighed in relief and smiled.
"Good. So, what will it be today?" Jesse took out a piece of paper and read the things it said.
"Um it's kinda long but, I want, four red, green, blue and orange water ice, seven ice pops, five chocolate, strawberry and coconut cream popsicles and one mint chocolate chip ice cream to go.....please?" Mr.silver looked at him without words.
"...Um....yeah, sure. How about you give me the paper and I'll go get them." Jesse awkwardly smiled and handed him the paper.
"Here you go. Sorry, its really long. But its the heat. So I need to stack up for the week."
"Oh, no its fine. It's no big deal anyway. It is really hot. So it's ok." He smiled and walked away to the back. Jesse walked to a clear table and sat down. His phone buzzed and he looked at it.
"Hm? Oh, its Xavier. What does he want know? I'm not going to the store again. 'Where are you bunny? I've been looking everywhere for you! Come back to the house now. Where'd you run off to this time? Anthony's been looking for you all over.' .......ugh." Jesse sighed and laid his head down.
" Hah~. He'll never leave me alone will he?......fine then I'll just give him a piece of my mind......'You never let me go anywhere by myself you know? Anthony's always with me. My rooms even next to his! Im tired of being followed around and always being watched. I dont want a bodyguard! I just want a little bit of independence! Just for once.....please?' "There I hope this works now. Send. Now we wait....." Jesse put his phone on the table and stared at it. His hands started to figet under the table. He was anxious and very nervous, but deep inside. He was terrified. He had chills and goosebumps all over. He kept waiting until someone called out to him.
"Jesse. Heres your order and your ice cream. Do you need anything else?" Mr.Silver handed him a bag full of delicious cold sweets and his ice cream.
"No. That'll be all. How much will it be?" Jesse took out his wallet while Mr.Silver summed up the cost.
"That will be thirty-eight dollars and seventy-five cents please." Jesse took out some money and handed it to Mr.Silver.
"Keep the change. See you Mr.S." Jesse waved at him and grabbed his phone from the table. He walked towards the door and opened it, but as he did he didnt realize someone was coming in at the same time. He crashed into the person smothering his ice cream between them. He backed away slowly and dropped the cone. As it fell it broke in little pieces. He watched as it did.
"Oh no. what did I do?......Oh god what did I do?!"
