Keep your promises, they might just save your life

Evie first met Carlos when they were both rather small. Their mothers were as close to friends one got on the Isle, and they seemed to want the same for their children.She didn’t remember much about their time together, it was so long ago, but she remembered his bright smile, and how he could read even before her.She was glad to have that back in her life, caught somewhere between pleasant nostalgia and feelings for Carlos and the others that wouldn't be understood for a few more years.But, for right now, she was eleven years old and had three friends that wouldn't call themselves that because of their own stupid pride, and she loved them all, both in a way she understood and one she didn’t.So, like any loving friend, she’d check on her friends from time to time.Because Carlos hadn't been in school that day, and no matter what she did, she couldn't quell the fear pooling in her stomach. So, stopping by his house to check on him was normal, right?===================================================Carlos doesn't really understand how much he means to his friends. He gets really sick, and they make things really clear.
