I woke up and looked at the white plain ceiling...man I'd kill for some eggs and bacon right now and some chocolate cake...and chocolate milk...and my brothers...and the gang...and just to be home eating breakfast with the whole gang.

TwoBit watching Mickey, Soda and Steve fighting about who knows more about cars Johnny and I reading to each other and watching sunsets in the lot...I didn't really care if he was gay he was still my best friend...but I was weirded out that he liked me...he knew I wasn't gay...or I thought he did.

Either way Soda, Steve, and TwoBit came to visit me today.

"Hey guys." I greeted happy to see them.

I nodded as I ate the rest of the roll hurriedly.
