Chapter 32

(James)

We spent the whole day laying in the bed and talking. We talked about everything. He told me more than I could ever think he would.

"It's really late already..." I noticed.

"Hmm... Have you eaten something today?"

"Breakfast..."

Okay, that really too little.

"Shall I get you something from the cafeteria?"

"That would be great!"

"What do you want?"

"Get me something really fatty."

"Okay, I'll be right back."

He stood up and left.

(Daniel)

"Daniel, good that I see you!" my dad stopped me.

"Dad, I have to get James some food..."

"Just a minute."

"Okay."

"You have to go back to school tomorrow."

"I know."

"Means you can't stay the night here."

"What?! Dad, don't make me do that."

"Daniel, seriously, sleep is important."

"I can sleep here?"

"No, you'll go home."

"But dad!"

"No argue at this point."

I quickly ran away.

Damn, I can't just go home and leave my James all alone.

I got some pancakes for him and then walked back.

"Ah" he smiled.

"Hey..."

"What's wrong?"

"Here" he handed me the plate.

Pancakes! I love pancakes.

"I'm sorry" he finally said.

"For what?"

"My dad will send me home soon..."

"Boo..."

"I don't want to stay alone at home."

"I don't want to stay alone here, Danny...."

"Eat now."

Goodly I did. After some time I finally finished.

"Was it okay?"

"It was awesome, thank you!"

I put the plate on the table next to me.

"James, promise me that you won't cry, please...."

"Danny..."

I sat up and threw myself into his arms. There was no way he could leave me. I needed him.

(Daniel)

"James, I'll come back tomorrow after school. That's not for too long..."

"Hmm..."

"James, I'm only thinking about you."

I hugged him tightly, it was really heartbreaking to see him all sad.

"I have to go now, I don't want to get my father all mad..."

"Hmm..."

He leant back and looked into my my eyes. I softly stroked his brown hair back.

"Sweet dreams, sweet stuff."

"Have a good night, Danny..."

"Stay strong..."

I stood up and left. It was already awful that I once couldn't sleep in the same room as him and now I had to be a few miles away from him.

"Ah, Daniel. My shift just ended. Let's head home!"

"Yeah..."

We walked outside and got into the car.

"Daniel,..."

"Dad, I'm okay."

"I just don't want you to miss school. Now that you're the new student."

"If I slept next to James, I wouldn't miss it either."

Suddenly my dad stopped. We haven't even been driving a mile now.

"Dad?"

"I'll bring you back now. And I'll take your school stuff with me tomorrow. I can't see you this way."

"Oh my god, thank you dad!"

"Yeah yeah. Don't ask me how I will tell your mum."

"Tell her the truth."

He drove me back to the hospital and I quickly jumped out, running to James.

I opened the door, but what I found was not a lovely sleeping James, it was a James, who rolled in pain from one side to another. He was sweating and crying, hissing awful things.

Oh my god!

"James?"

I quickly sat down next to him, before I realised that he had a nightmare. You can't touch people who have a nightmare, it'll make it even worse.

"James! Wake up, James!"

He didn't. Instead he rolled even more and I was afraid he'd fall off the bed.

"James!"

"Eh, ah...." he just hissed.

"James, I'm here!"

"D-Daniel!"

"James, yes I am here."

"Danieeeeeeeeeeel!" he screamed and sat up in shock.

"James, I'm here."

"Daniel..."

"Shhhhh..."

I pulled him into a hug and pressed his head in my chest. He continued sobbing.

"Shhhh, it was just a bad nightmare. I'm here..."

"Oh god, Daniel..."

"Is it better?"

"Y-yeah..."

He pulled himself away.

"Why are you even here?"

"Dad let me.... He can't make up his mind whenever I suffer. And I'm suffering when I'm not with you."

"Oh god..."

"What did you dream?"

"Same as every time..."

I slipped out of my sneakers and laid down next to him.

"Baby, what's it?"

"Danny, you don't understand..."

"You should talk about it. What is it?"

"It's every time the same. I run and run and run, suddenly I fall into a big hole and then I hear Max... Everything he has ever said to me..."

"James, it hurts me to hear that... I wish I could just help you."

"You do help me a lot... When you're there..."

"I'm here now.... So you can sleep now..."

He snuggled his head into my chest and fell completely exhausted asleep.
