"Hey." Oz answered when I called him. "Hey. I talked to Chris today." I told him. "Why?" He asked. "Just hear me out. Julia died." I told him. "What?" He asked. "Yeah." I told him. "What happened?" He asked. "I don't know. I didn't talk to Chris long enough to find out." I told him. We missed the funeral." I said. "Fuck." He said. She is how I met you, remember? She thought you looked stupid because you were wearing your hat to the side, so she dared me to go hit on you." I told him. He laughed. "Yeah. I had lost a bet and had to act like a thug while I was out with my friends that night. We all ended up hanging out the rest of the night." He said, finishing the story. "Yeah. God, how did I lose touch with her." I sighed. "I guess that happens sometimes with friends." He said. "Oz, don't let that happen to us." I told him. "Okay. I won't. But you have to know it's not easy for me to be around you all the time. Not like we were before. And I can't move back in." He said. "That's okay." I said. "God, I havn't thought about anyone since we left." He said. "Yeah, I know. It's been what, eight months now? Seems like longer." I told him. "We said we would come out all the time." He said. "So lets go." I told him. "What?" He asked. "Lets go back. I'll book the first flight. We can stay for a few days and see some old faces." I told him. "I can't go back. I left a bunch of people really pissed off at me." He said, and I laughed. "Come on. I'm sure things have changed a little. Lets do it." I told him. "Okay, okay. Let me work stuff out a work. Call me when you find out the ticekt time." He said. "Okay, I will." I told him. I hung up and went to my computer to get tickets. The first flight out was 10:00 pm, so we had to be at the airport at 8:00. I left Oz a message telling him to meet me there at 8:00. Then I called Spence and he said he could give me a ride. I ran to my room and packed some things to last me for a few days. I wasn't sure exactly how long we would stay out there. When I was all done I called Chris. "Hello, hello!" He answered. "Hey. We're coming out." I said. "We're?" He asked. "Oz and I. We're flying in late tonight." I explained. "Are you serious?" He asked. "Yeah." I told him. "Okay. I'll come pick you up." He said. "Uh, hey. Do you know somewhere we can stay? I hate hotels." I told him. "Your parents?" He asked me. "No! No way. And I can't stay at my brothers. And my sister is in school." I told him. "My place? I live at my cousins house now. There is a spare room." He said. "Would that be a little weird?" I asked. "No." He said. "Okay. Thanks." I said, and gave him the information. I hung up, and then layed down on the couch. I started to watch TV, and fell asleep.
