My very first Friend

Each member of my party gave a reason for me to stay .
Rose made a rational yet selfish request ;however its a request that I can respect her for.
The stowaway asked me to stay due to us "promising" her to look for a place she is looking for , which I care not.
However.....it was the words of Luis that had stirred something inside me , this regret for causing him pain
and the desire to be there for him.
 
Luis Benedetto ... he may be a reprobate who steals , lies ,risks his life for stupid reasons and jerking reactions ,breaks the law , bratty , noisy , chatty , sometimes smells bad , a hypocrite , swears alot to adults and isn't well mannered.
but he is the very first who made me feel this "warmth" as time and time again he saves someone like me who only treats him coldly .
 
When I opened my eyes ,what greeted me was his bawling face drenched in tears and the warmth of his arms as he held unto me ; the words he spoke "My very first friend" resounded in my head .
Truly this man is so foolish and yet so warm ; but now I think I understand the importance of Luis Benedetto in my life
