"A secret...a secret..." I tap my chin, "What kind of secret?"

"A secret no one knows."

"Something, that know one knows about you, which may be kind of hard seeing as I know everything about you."

"I know. How am I supposed to tell you something that no one knows about me if you know everything? Grr...I don't have any secrets anymore."

I smile up at him, looping my arm with his,"Good answer."

I think for a moment, smiling up at him,"I'd be lost without you Charlie."

We're going to see the world, man. We're going to travel. And we're finally going to make a difference! This is it, Charlie! We're going to make a difference!
Don't give me that, Gid. You don't want to go and we both know it.
I want to help! You think hanging around here is going to help? Because it's not! We've finally got a chance.
No, that's just what they told you. This is home. This is where we belong.
Man, I need you. You're my mate, right? Just come with us a little way. You can drop out whenever you like. Just come with us for a while. I know this is hard and I know it's gonna be frightening, but we wanted to make a difference. We always said we would and this is our chance. Our big break. And maybe our fall. But we fall together, right?
"It was our chance." I say quietly, "To change the world." I half-laugh.

We have no clue how they got in...

"I'm sorry. They needed me too. They needed me to help them change the world. Make a difference, like we always said we would." I say softly, "And all we managed to do is get ourselves in too much trouble for us to handle. And now look, two of us our dead and it's just me and I-...and it's just me."

"I'm sorry, I didn't know then. First it was the travelling with Gid and Fay. And I dropped out and then Jen came along and she needed me and then-...then they took Jen and Gracie away and I didn't know what to do. I just-...fell apart and stayed away from everyone. I should have come home, but I didn't."
