Tough Love

Memories

Sesa was enjoying himself.
He and Kota, who was 17, had both spent the day relaxing on the rooftop of the abandoned building sight. Kota had to go talk to a few friends, which is the only reason he was alone.

"Hey, Sesa!" Kota yelled, waving him down.
"Comin'!" Sesa yelled back, gingerly climbing and jumping down the 4-story unfinished building.
"Sesa, there's something we gotta do. Alright?" Kota said, shifting uncomfortably in his sneakers.

Sesa tilted his head. Kota only did that when something big was going to happen.
"What're we doin'?" Sesa asks, walking by Kota. He loved Kota. Looked up to him like a father. Besides, his real dad was a bum. He was always trying to swindle someone out of any form of money. And any money he did make, mom just drowned it down with alchahol.

"Just going for a walk, little man." He said, ruffling his hair. His smile was a little off as he said, "Hey, you know that ice cream shop youve been wanting to go to?"  

Sesa lit up. "Yeah!"
It didnt matter if Kota was acting wierd: he was being so awesome!
"Well, let's go there and order you whatever you want. On me." Kota said, pulling out a ciggaret and lighting it, taking a hit off of it.
Sesa coughed, then took the ciggaret from his friend and smashing it in his hand. "Those are bad for you, Kota! Gimme your pack."

Kota chuckled. "Ok, Mom. Here ya go." He said, handing him the pack to watch him smash it into the mud.

Sesa smiled, missing a tooth on the right side of his face. He had lost that tooth defending himself from his bitch-ass mom. When Kota found him a month ago, he was going to jump from the building they were just at.

"So, Kota, guess what!" Sesa squeeked, literaly running circles around the burly 17-year old.  
"What?" He said, watching the hyperactive 12 year old bounce around him.  
"I met a girl! She was nice, but she was also kinda weak. Some sixth graders made her cry, so I beat them up!" He said, opening the door to the ice cream shop.

Kota laughed lightly, then replied, "I bet you used that baseball bat I gave you." as Sesa nodded, then pointed at several ice cream flavors, saying, "I want this and this and this..."

As Sesa ate his ice cream, Kota stared at him.
Tilting his head to the side, Sesa says, "Why are you stating at me?"

Kota sighs, then smiles as he replies, "Come on, little man. Lets go take a walk."
Sesa jumped up, then started walking with Kota.
"Kota, will we always be friends?" He asks, smiling innocantly.

Slyly checking his gun, Kota gives a false smile. "Always, little man."
Thats when an I-beam broke and fell on Kota.
