I looked back at him and sighed. He was just looking at me. But, he is just so retarded. He rolled back over on his side and almost went right back to sleep.

"Boy get up! We have to go to school!" I nudged him on his face. He grunted and did a push up.

I heard his breath hitch and turned around. I walked next to him and wiped at the tears on the side of his face. He pulled me off and turned his head.

"You are a man! Get it together!" he smacked himself and turned back at me with his goofy smirk and dimples. I kissed the tear we had both missed and went back upstairs. He started browsing his memory gifts I had gotten him. I walked in my mom's room first and saw Skyler walk out of the bathroom wiping his face.
