"I cried last night because I was thinking of George leaving," he said. "Who will be my best friend? Who will I invite over for sleepovers?" he asked of me.
You're killing me, buddy.
"I don't think we have to have all of the answers tonight," I said, putting my arm around his shoulder. "What do you think some of the answers are to these problems?" I asked, as we continued down the sidewalk.I hoped that having him participate in finding a solution would alleviate some of his anxiety. Nobody likes to feel helpless when it comes to their friends and it's always nice when the solution is your own (at least in part).
"I don't know," he began and then stopped dead in his tracks.It was a good thing he had been behind me or I would have ploughed straight into him. As it was, I had to stop and back up.
"And, I just thought of something! Now Logan won't be able to marry Kate (George's sister) and we won't be part of each other's families!"I was not previously aware of this plan. This was almost as distressing to Ethan and the whole best friend debacle. Nobody tells me anything!
