Your family had been close friends with the Campbell family your whole life. You were incredibly close with the three Cambell siblings. You remember playing dolls with Julia as toddlers. Reading stories to Bobby when he was tiny since he was the younger sibling. Playing video games with...Erik.

You had lost touch with them all when you had moved away for college. They'd probably forgotten all about you. No biggie...shit happens. You become an adult... and you move on with your life.

During the spring break, you returned home to see your dad. One day, you had headed to the grocery store, and of course your father had run into his best friend- Howard Campbell. And of course... you had been invited along to their family barbecue.

And here you were stood awkwardly by the gates into their garden with a four pack of beer clutched in your hands. You were nervous... you were more than nervous, actually. You'd be fine to see Julia and Bobby again. But the thought of seeing Erik... made your stomach tie in knots

Your father gives you somewhat of a knowing grin before pushing open the gate.
