The Alley Cat

“I don’t care if you wake me up Sammy. You can interrupt me in the middle of a date for all I care you can call me if I’m at home and I will be here so fast. You always come first you’re my best friend sampson.”

“It’ll be okay Sammy don’t worry I’ll be right here by your side.”

“It’ll be okay Sammy don’t worry I’ll be right here by your side.”

“Don’t worry I like cuddling with you Sammy, and most nights I come in here anyways…I get my own nightmares you already know that though.”

“Oh Sammy..if you need me to I can spend nights in here with you? Keep you company give you somebody to snuggle when it gets scary..?”

“I thought you were supposed to fast before Easter and then eat a ton on Easter.”

“You are. But my mom is stupid and doesn’t ever wanna listen.”

“It wasn’t bad. I didn’t have anything else to do and got paid well.” Georgie replied before smirking. “Do you usually eat gyros on Easter?”

“That’s pretty fair, yeah. At least you got paid.” He laughed softly, shaking his head “Nah, my family usually fasts. I couldn’t take it anymore.”

“I worked the whole day so it was alright. Gyros aren’t really an easter food if I remember correctly.”

“Gross, sounds shitty. It is food and I ate it on Easter. So that makes it Easter food.”

“That’s your body getting rid of all the bad stuff…they told us about that in my health science class the other day. It’s called detoxing. It sucks..”

“Love you a lot Sammy.” Ben said happily, kissing the boy'a jaw softly. “I’m really proud of you for trying to get clean, by the way. I really am. It’s impressive.”
