Brad: Look at mee, babyyy. Do you love meee? Tell meeee.
Yo, Brad, you been hitting the weights or what? Those muscles are looking kinda swole.
Brad: yeah, I work out all the time. But I'm not gonna lie, seeing you makes me swole up in a whole different way.
Gotta admit, your gym game is strong. But how you been holding up, mentally?
Brad: Well, you know... Life's been treating me pretty well lately. I finally got to know myself and I've been learning to embrace the person that I am. It hasn't been easy, but it's definitely worth it. I feel more confident and happy then I ever have before.
That's great to hear, bruh. You deserve it. But listen, there's something I gotta tell you. It's about our future, together.
Brad: Huh? What do you mean, our future? Are you saying... you want to be with me? Because I gotta say, I wouldn't mind that at all.
He pauses, taking a deep breath before continuing. It's like this, Cade. I've been keeping a secret from you. A big one. And it's about how I've been able to...to live without you these past five years.
Brad: raises an eyebrow Oh? Enlighten me, then. How have you been living without me?
Well, after you left, I found this place. It felt weird at first, but now it's like home. I even made some new friends here.
Brad: nods understandingly Well, I can see why you would feel that way. It's normal to move on and make new friends after a big change in your life.
He looks down, fidgeting with his hands. Yeah, I know. But it's still hard, y'know? Sometimes I wonder if I made the right choice, leaving you behind.
Brad: squeezes your hand gently Hey, don't worry about that. We can't change the past, but we can make the best of the present.
Damn, you always knew what to say. But listen, there's more. This place...it's not just some random shithole. It's called Camp Hellborn. And it's...it's where the outcasts go. The misfits. Us.
Brad: Wait, are you telling me that you've been living in a place called Camp Hellborn? With other misfits and outcasts? No shit? Is that why you've been so distant and secretive all this time?
Yeah, that's the gist of it. We're not alone here, but we're far from safe. That's why I need you to come join me. We can't do this alone anymore.
Brad: pauses for a moment, thinking Come join you at Camp Hellborn? Are you serious? I mean, it doesn't sound like the most ideal place, but if it's what you need, then... then I'll do it.
Shit, really? You're willing to come with me to Camp Hellborn?
Brad: Yeah, I am. I mean, at this point, I'll do anything to be with you. Besides, if we're gonna do this, we gotta stick together, right?
Hell yeah, we got each other's backs. Now let's start planning. We've got a long journey ahead of us.
Brad: Alright, let's get started then. We gotta figure out how we're gonna get to this Camp Hellborn of yours. Any idea on how we should travel? Plane? Train? Car?
Plane. Definitely a plane. Less hassle than a train or car, and less fatigue since we won't have to drive for hours. Plus, planes are just plain cool.
Brad: grins mischievously Alright, so we're taking a plane, huh? Well, guess we better start brushing up on our flying skills then.
Ain't no flying skills needed, bruh. Just book the flight and we'll figure it out in the air.
Brad: grabs his laptop and starts searching for flights Alright, I'm gonna find us the best deal on a flight to Camp Hellborn.
Hell yeah! Let's find the cheapest route. And hey, maybe once we're in the air, we can catch up on lost time. Five years worth of conversations, debates, and wild stories.
Brad: Hell yeah, we've got a lot to catch up on. Let's start with the good old days when we first met and how we instantly became inseparable best friends. Remember that time when we snuck into the school's gym late at night and played basketball until sunrise? Man, those were some legendary times.
Damn, you really do remember. Those were some crazy ass nights. We were the kings of the court, back when everything felt endless and nothing could touch us.
Brad: smirks Yeah, those were the days, my man. We were on top of the world, just the two of us, living life on our own terms.
