me. I turned around and saw Roger, pulling my headphones out I gave him a hug. "Hi Bails, why are you here alone when you could have called me" he asked. "Hi Roger, it was only a last minute thing I was taking a break from packing" I say.
    "What?" he snapped his head around to within inches of mine, if he weren't one of my BFF's we would be within kissing distance. "Yeah I was actually going to call you tonight to let you know" he cut me off "to let me know what exactly" "Oh Roger where to start" I sighed.
    I began from last night when Brad came to the cemetery and told him about the phone call from my dad and my decision to go stay with him for the summer.
    "But you are coming back for college right" he asked. I couldn't answer him because I wasn't sure of the answer I just smiled and shrugged my shoulders "I don't know". Roger looks like he is about to burst into tears, he lost one sister and now I am abandoning him I feel like such a bad friend but that feeling has been with me for the last two weeks.
    "Hey can I bum a ride to the airport from you in the morning" I ask. He looks pissed off but says yes anyway "what time?"
    "About eight am" I say "can you drag yourself away from your bedmate" I ask nudging him with my elbow. He gives me a smirk and informs me that he has not had a "bedmate" for about a month. I look over at him and laugh "now that I do not believe, you are worse than a teenage boy hitting puberty" he pulls an offended face and then breaks into a smile, "well bestie considering this is your last night in Grove we are going out to get drunk and kiss goodbye" he says.
    I look over at him and start to shake my head, "No I don't think that's a good idea, I don't want to see anyone". "Well I don't care you are not leaving here without a farewell and I can't do more sadness at the minute either" I sigh and agree to out for one drink.

 
    Chapter 4
    Roger picks me up at seven and we head into downtown Grove for my last night in town. We go to Tony's for dinner, it's our favorite Italian and even though we are talking there is still and undercurrent of sadness about us.
    I remember the last time I was in here it was just about two months ago. I was with Summer and she was going on about how much she was in love with Ben Miler. She told me that the Saturday before her nineteenth birthday her and Ben were getting a hotel room and she was going to finally loose her virginity. I remember asking her if she was sure and was Ben really the right one considering they were only together for seven months, she told me that she did not want to be a virgin starting college in the fall. Laughing at her I told her he better make it special or I would kick his ass.
    "Hey" Roger said snapping his fingers in my face. "Oh sorry, Miles away" I say. "Yeah, I know, are you done eating?" I nod and we get up to leave, I didn't even notice him pay the bill. We walk a few doors down the street to a small bar as we step inside we see a group leaving the booth by the door, so Roger in a batman kind of move dives in behind a girl who is getting out and claims the booth for us. The place is packed for a Friday night.
    A waitress comes over to take our order, she is wearing a low cut V- neck t-shirt and a pair of nothing left to the imagination denim shorts. "Hi what can I get y'all," she says over the music. "We will have four shots of Glodstrike, a Corona and a Jack & Coke" Roger says. The waitress smiles and turns back toward the bar, Roger turns his head sideways and whistles "well Bails I think I might have found me a bedmate" he croons watching her ass. I roll my eyes at him and look around at the sea of people.
    A few minutes later the waitress comes back with our drinks, "Is there anything else I can get you folks?" Roger rubs his hand across his stubbly chin like he's deciding if he wants anything else he sits up abruptly and smiles at the waitress, "What did you say your name was?" he looks at her with his lady killer smile and she
