Lean On Me [COMPLETED]

Chapter 9: Until Our Eyes Meet Again

   As June came closer, the gang started hanging out in Prince's house every chance they get. 

   Tina, who now poses as CEO for Prince's company became more worried of Prince leaving. While Charlotte and Zach often helped Tina get over the stress she bears since she began posing as CEO. As for Prince, he told everything he knew and does as a CEO to his girlfriend. Prince, himself was feeling reluctant of leaving his friends but he still cared for his younger brother. But even if they were burdened by their friend's departure, the gang chose to stay happy and hung out every weekend. 

   When June finally came, Prince decided to have a get-together in his house for his friends. During the get-together, Prince talked to Zach about something.

"Hey, bud. Can we talk for a sec?" Prince called Zach.

"Um...yeah. Sure. What's up?" Zach said as he approached his friend.

"It's just...before I go or when I'm not here anymore please protect the girls for me. Especially Tina. Will you do that for me?"  Prince asked.

"Yeah. Yeah. Sure. Anything for my best friend," Zach smiled.

"I knew you can do it! Come here, man," Prince hugged Zach.

   When Zach was about to walk away, Prince called him again.

"Oh! And hey, Zach!" Prince said.

"Yeah?" Zach turned around.

"I almost forgot to give you this," Prince hands Zach a box.

"What is this?" Zach curiously asked.

"Something my family would want you to have," Prince replied.

"And promise me, don't open it until we last see each other," Prince added.

"O...kay...," Zach said.

   After their conversation, Zach puts the box in his pocket and the gang partied all day. After a long day, the four friends decided to settle down, starting to reminisce the moments they had together starting the friendship Charlotte and Tina formed when they were younger.

"You know that I'll miss all of you, right?" Prince asked.

"Of course. You're like the leader of the group, man," Zach said.

"Oh really? Thanks," Prince laughed.

"I wish Jenna was here. I bet she'll miss you too," Charlotte said.

"Oh, Jenna. She's fun to be around. Really miss her too," Tina sighed.

"Hey, Z! Still remember the first time we met you?" Prince asked cheerfully.

"Yeah. Of course. You held like a mini party or something like that at KFC, right?" Zach recalled the first time he met them.

"Oh yeah! That one!" Prince laughed.

"Those we're the good times," Charlotte said.

"That was one of the best times! You were like, "KFC my home sweet home"!" Zach tries to impersonate Prince, making everyone laugh.

"Well. My best memory of you was when Tina and I met you," Prince tries to fire back.

"Huh?" A confused Zach replied.

"The one in the park. You stepped on shit during that time. Am I right?" Prince laughed.

"I remember that!" Tina exclaims.

"Oh. Yeah. Yeah. I pretended to have a dog just to hide the fact that I stepped on dog shit," Zach replied.

"Love that time!" Prince laughs.
