"hola amigo,"

she found him in her backyard.
his body lying
down on her nicely cut
grass.

he immediately
straighten up at the sound of her
voice.
"sorry," he scratches the
back of his
neck. "they're yelling
again."

she nods, and takes her spot beside
him.
"ollie," she says his name like a
song, "can i ask you something?"

he turns to her, his elbow pressed on the
grass and his
hand supporting his head. "anything."

"why do you stay?"

"what do you mean?"

"why don't you run away? from this."

he looks over the fence to have a good look at his
house.
"because then i'd be lonely."
