When William opened the back door to his house, he saw a bottle of whiskey that was emptier than it had been yesterday. On the counter was a box of 3-day old pizza.
"Do you want to sleep over tonight?" Asked William. He didn't want to be alone that night.
"Hell yeah I do, would your dad be okay with it?"
"He wouldn't care, he probably won't even notice."
Jack grabbed two paper plates from the cabinet. It was too high for him to reach, even when he stood on his toes. William made fun of him, laughing, and tried to lift him for a fraction of a second. Jack was taken by surprise, and squeaked out "thanks will".
They laughed when Jack tried to slice a tomato, squishing it so the juice leaked onto his hands. They joked about school starting again and tired teachers and stupid classmates. William's cheeks hurt from smiling while he spread mayonnaise on a slice of stale bread.
Jack brought the sandwiches outside, and the boys ate on the spring-free trampoline where Paige had taught William how to do a backflip. This was the first time William had been on the trampoline since Paige went to the hospital for the last time.

"Ouch! What the hell, man!" William yelped.
"Sorry! Lemme see your hand."
William thrust his hand foreword, angry that he had hurt it. He was sitting to the side of the trampoline when Jack tried to do a front flip. Jack had twisted to the side and landed on William's outstretched arm.
"Oh man, that's gonna hurt for a while." Jack said with a serious tone. "Let's go inside and put some ice on it."
William followed Jack inside the house. When he got inside, he saw his dad on the couch, watching football and drinking beer. There was already two empty cans on the coffee table.
"Go, walk faster." William whispered. He ran up the stairs quietly. When Jack stepped inside his room, he went and sat on William's bed beside him.
"Jeez, haven't you ever heard of closing the door?" William said, with a hint of panic in his voice. Jack hurriedly stood up and shut the door.
