as the night grew, so did adam's anxiety.

he laid on the couch, as he watched the ceiling run in circles.

he couldn't concentrate on thinking.

it felt weird to be there in lawrence's place.

he didn't know if he should leave or not.

but he didn't.

he just stayed staring at the ceiling.

"adam." a voice called, which startled him.

he immediately popped his head up and there stood diana in the darkness.

"diana." adam whispered, "what're you doing awake?"

"i'm scared." diana whispered quietly.

"of what?"

"my room can be scary at night." she whispered again.

adam stared, not knowing what to say.

"okay, what do you want me to do about it?" adam asked forcefully.

"can you sleep on the floor in my room?"

adam stared blankly.

he was not up for that at all.

but he could tell she was genuinely scared.

adam rolled his eyes and grabbed the blanket and pillow beside him.

then walked to diana's room with her.

she climbed into her bed gently as adam continued to roll his eyes cause he was still not up for this.

diana sat there.

awkwardly.

"tuck me in?" diana asked.

what the hell, adam thought.

then he rolled his eyes AGAIN and did just that.

she smiled then she turned over to fall asleep.

adam's eyes twitched then he laid down on the small pallet he made on the floor.

then he moved around uncomfortably on the itchy floor.

he finally got comfortable unexpectedly, then fell asleep.

-

"adam." he heard someone say as his tired eyes twitched uncomfortably.

he finally squinted a little and saw lawrence squatted down beside him.

"huh?" adam said under his breath.

"i'm going to work."

"you woke me up to tell me that?"

"no, i woke you up cause i thought you wouldn't want to be here without me." lawrence whispered.

adam stared.

his face turned pale, but also hot..after he said that.

"so.." lawrence whispered again.

"um, i mean, why wouldn't i stay here without you?"

"well i just thought you'd feel more comfortable with me here with you."

"what?" adam said.

"nevermind, goodnight." lawrence said, patting adam's head awkwardly.

adam stared as lawrence limped away, grabbing his keys off the counter.
