Billie shook his head. "I promise."
"Wanna sit down?" Billie asked Mike, Mike nodded and the two men sat down on the train tracks.
"You wrote on my mailbox."
Mike nodded. "I couldn't bear to think that you were gone. I forced the cops to keep looking for you after two years. I knew you'd come back, Billie."
Mike continued, "W-Well a-and if you didn't come back, I'd be fine knowing that I didn't give up on you."
Billie leaned on Mike's shoulder, and sighed.
"I missed you so much."
"Tré moved to Germany." Mike said, with sadness in his voice.
"Oh."
"What about Adrienne? The girl that was obsessed with me?"
"She disappeared once she found out you ran away."
"Oh."
"Billie?"
"Yeah, Mike?"
"Do you still love me?"
