"Nash come over here and help me get some more sand." Kate shouted to also six year old Nash.

It was a sunny day in Greensburg Pennsylvania, a great day to go to the beach. It was a very unusual weather for a town usually covered in snow. The Millers and the Jones had planned a picnic and a visit to the beach in the afternoon to keep Kate and Nash together almost everyday.

Mrs Miller being Kates mother was always on the pretty side, trying to keep Kate as feminine as possible. She loved Nash like her own son but thought all boys are rowdy. Mr and Mrs Jones on the other hand were chilled back parents that loved karaoke and camping and fun with Nash and his older brother Andy.

"Keep piling up the sand Kate, we're almost there." Nash passed a bucketful of sand to Kate to pat down on her own sandcastle.

"Nash come help me I think my legs are bleeding." Kate cried.

Nash rushed over to help Kate after he heard the word 'bleeding'. He knelt beside Kate and pulled her out of the sand and her leg was bleeding.

"How did that happen?" He asked.

Kate was now crying from the sting "I don't know, go get my mummy." She demanded and Nash was off running to the other side of the beach to get Mrs Miller.

"Kate hurt herself, come quick!" He grabbed Kates mothers arm and pulled her to where Kate was sitting.

Mrs Miller knelt beside Kate and stroked her cheek, "Gosh Kate what happened?"

By now the tears were flodding and she couldn't control it. Her mother and Andy tried to comfort her but only Nash could.

"I love you, you're my best friend, please don't leave me." Nash said while cuddling Kate, next to their sandcastle.

"I promise." Kate replied.

PRESENT DAY:
Where are my keys, lord, I know I left them on the coffee table. Or maybe Phil took them. My stepdad Phil always had a habit of taking my things. It annoys the hell out of me but he sees it as a bonding experience.

"Phil, where are my keys?" I shout to the Phil that's upstairs. "I'll be late for school."

"They are in the garage." He shouts back. "Now hurry up your mum and I are trying to sleep."

Gross. I think to myself, I don't need that much detail.

"Too much information Phil!" 

"Not like that Kate!" He shouts one last time.

I start to head past our tiny cabin like living room and open the garage door. Our family white Range Rover sat in middle of the garage. From the board behind I grab the keys and enter the car. I toss my bag to the bed and start the roaring engine. Before forgetting I put the grey seatbelt across my chest. I didn't want it to lay on my red shirt so I tucked it under my arm.

Before pulling out of the driveway I call Nash. My favourite person in the world.

I pull out my playful tone getting ready to annoy him. "Hey Nashy bear."

"Morning Katey bear to you too." He laughs heavily trough the phone "Are you coming to pick me up today?"

"Nash you know I pick you up to school everyday, you better be dressed and ready by the time I get there!"

"Then I better hurry up because I've haven't done either of those things. Bye, love you Kate!" He then hangs up.

I rub my fingers together thinking. What would I ever do without that goof.
