Panda sat on the corner outside the ice cream shop. She was eating a strawberry sunday, her favorite kind of ice cream. Her thoughts were drifting. Raine was coming home with her 3 year old child. Panda had never even seen her best friends baby. She had wanted to be there for her friend but her parents had sent her away to a special group home for pregnant teens and teens with young children. She was coming home this weekend. Panda had just relized how much she missed Raine.
"Better not let Taylor see you eating that, he might steal it."
Panda turned to see Isaac standing behind her. He sat down beside her.
"How long have you been standing there?"
"Oh about 30 minutes, you seemed to be in deep thought and I didn't want to interupt."
"You still taking me to take my driving test next week?"
"Yeah, how are your parents marriage counseling sesions going?"
"Not so great, I don't think they are going to be able to save their marriage."
"I'm sorry."
"Don't be you didn't do anything."
"Well I've gotten kind of used to saying sorry. We are all kind of walking on egg shells at the house with Zac missing and Taylors never home."
"How are you dealing with all that I couldn't do it."
"Yes you can. You made it when Jenny died."
"Yeah I guess I could."
"You want to go to the park."
"I want to Isaac but I think I need to get home. We're supposed to have family night tonight."
"Well bye Panda."
"Bye Ike."
Panda watched him walk away, he was the best friend she had right now. Her thoughts wondered the entire walk home.
