   Summary

   He stopped and stood frozen with the rain pouring onto him, water mixing with tears and blurring his vision. He looked down and suddenly he was twelve years old, jumping off because Will was dead and it was his fault, his fault for letting him ride home by himself and not offering to have him stay the night. His fault because Will was the only reason Mike was alive. But now it was not enough. Will could not love him, could not see that Mike was doing this badly, could not save him this time. Mike stood in the rain and sobbed because there was no reason for him to live anymore.
