I still remember it like it was yesterday, it was winter time and that specific night the sky was raining like it has never rained before. Everyone was either hanging out indoors hiding from the rain or at home just watching TV, for me I was coming out of the coffee house we always go to and I found Mike just standing there under the rain holding a box, I knew he was going through tough times and it looked like he just broke up with his girlfriend so I went to comfort him. "I don't want to leave until I know you're going to be ok," I said sadly.
