My body wouldn't allow me to sleep after that kiss with Tina, as if something was removed from my head. Something I could place my finger on. Tina would think I was asleep, then she would fall asleep, and I would walk around the house to keep me busy. I sometimes just cleaned the house all over, and Tina didn't notice anything. Well, except the bags under my eyes from lack of sleep. She seemed concern for me, but I told her not to worry." It's just from waking up too early." I said, and she said okay. I didn't want her to worry about me, I wanted her to be happy. I walked through the house, and it came to me. I did this when Mary was gone, when she was in isolation. I was going insane worrying, and I couldn't talk about it. Because I didn't want to worry anyone, I wanted them to think I was fine.
I had gone out to the stores to buy some milk and bread, and I ran into Louie." How've you been bro?" He asked, and I shrugged." I'm excited for the first day of the group to start." I said, and he nodded." Yeah, my mom is worried I don't go out that much. So she's happy about it too." I said it was good seeing him, and went back to the house. I was clutching the bag in my hand as I stepped into the house. Tina was off at my house doing her job, and also making sure my parents were doing as they said they would. I set the bag on the counter, and I collapsed onto the floor.
"Why are you worrying?" El said as she sat down next to me in the sand." I guess I'm scared I won't see her again, that I'll just hear her voice from now on." El nudged me a bit with her shoulder, and laughed." You'll see her again, I can feel it in my bones. You two were meant for each other, like God had a plan for you two." She leaned against my shoulder, and put her arm around my waist." Everything will be fine."
I woke up with Tina leaning over down toward me, and she placed her hand on my forehead." I know it's from you not sleeping." She said, and I looked away from her." Hawk, get some sleep." She said, and picked me up. I leaned on her as she put me to bed. I couldn't struggle against sleep, and fell asleep.
