Chapter 1: The Cowboy
Jesse
I sat quietly and listened to the preacher give the eulogy for my best friend. Cody was more than my best friend; he was the man I had loved since high school. Now I have lost him forever.
I need to explain. I met Cody George my first day in high school. He lived outside of town on a ranch. I lived intown so we had gone to different grade schools, but the county had only one high school. It was just luck that we were in all the same classes. I always managed to sit next to that good-looking boy and soon we were talking and comparing notes. Over the next month we became friends, and by Thanksgiving we were inseparable.
Neither Cody nor I played sports. Not the traditional sports anyway. Our school had a rodeo team and Cody made the team. By our sophomore year people were starting to take notice. Cody was good!
I was at every event, cheering him on. I remember one afternoon he was bucked off a rank horse that no one had been able to ride. I met him behind the chutes and was offering my opinions about how nobody could ride that horse. He stopped me.
