Everyone spent most of their day just chilling, doing whatever.

Jacob was leaning against Mega, reading, while Mega was on Invaded.

It was a bright day, and the sun was looking at them through the window.

Zak and Bad were watching some Netflix show together in their room, bursts of laughing sometimes loud enough to hear for Jacob and Mega.

Mega closed his laptop and sighed.

He grabbed his notebook and started jotting something down.

I looked over his shoulder to see what he was writing.

"There is pain inside your soul,

I can see the ocean in your eyes.

First it gets heavy, then it takes control,

And all your smiles are nothing but tear-covered lies.


You said you felt dead on the inside,

You said you couldn't climb out of this hole,

It's like all of your feelings and emotions died,

And in your  life, you said you saw no goal."


I put my chin on his shoulder.

He started sketching.

It was a very sad picture, of a man killing himself, willing to take his own life.

Mega looked around at me, grinning.

Why did he always have to draw those kinds of things?

Was he merely expressing what was going on in his mind?

Something he thought or maybe even tried doing?

I sank deep in thought, staring down at Mega's drawing.

We were going out to see fireworks today, and I couldn't wait.

It was going to be Mega's first time seeing them, and I hoped he liked them.

I was going to make this first experience for him as best as possible.

We also needed to tell our friends about us dating now...


Time slipped fast, and before they knew it, it was time for supper, and then the fireworks.

It was going to be a warm night, but not warm enough, so everyone put on an extra layer of clothes.

Zak, Darryl, Jacob, and Mega exited the house and made their way to the hotel, through the semi-empty streets, and stars starting to appear over their heads.
