you cursed as you walked, angry at yourself for being late to someones birthday, Someone very special for your friend jesse.

when you arrived to beacontown, there was already a crowd front of reubens memorial. You went thru the crowd, closer to the memorial, And there jesse was. Front of everyone, looking at the picture of reuben. You've never seen him this...sad before.

You heard that he was always this sad when reubens birthday comes, and this was the first time you came to see this moment.

after a minute of silence, jesse got down to one knee, and started speaking.

"...hey buddy, i hope you're doing good, wherever you are..."

he paused before continuing to speak, you could swore that you saw him tearing up a bit.

"...i just wish that i could hug you one more time. I love you reuben...happy birthday, my best friend..."

he looked to the ground, everybody else also did. There was silence once more.
