"With friends like you guys, who needs anything else?" Benny said, making me smile.
Benny, Smalls, and I gazed up at the sky, watching the meteor shower.
"Let's make a pact." Smalls said, making us face him.
"No matter what. No matter what happens. No matter how old and distant we get... Us 3 will always be friends." Smalls said and a smile formed on my lips.
Benny nod and placed his fist in front of me. Smalls did the same and they both looked at me.
"Silence?" Benny asked and I nod.
I placed my fist in the circle and we all smiled.
I never thought, that I would have life long friends like these. Friends that were changing me. That were helping me be happy again. Friends that I will always cherish...
