Dean & Justin
"You do realize there's barely two months left in the year, right?" Justin said, not wanting to argue, but having to state it for the record.
"And he's right, this is my fault. If I hadn't gone to the funeral this morning, Zach probably wouldn't have shown up. I thought he deserved to have a friend there who knew what he was going through. I said I was being selfish and going to his dad's funeral because I couldn't go to mine, but that was cuz I didn't want him to feel I was pitying him or something."
He leaned on Dean, his head on his friend's shoulder as his arms wrapped around him tightly.
"And he's right. I am a useless layabout. I'm just glad Sarah left after the cake, so she didn't have to hear that."
