YOU KNOW,

I AM BOTH

TERRIFIED

OF LOSING

THIS BATTLE

AND

TERRIFIED OF

FIGHTING IT.

.

there are lights

inside,

and i assume that

someone is there.

liam thinks

that we should

go on

says something

about seeing

too many

horror

movies

that end up

terribly.

with a similar plotline

and it ends with them

dead.

i laughed at him.

and told him that

after all this

fighting

i wouldn't let him die.

he smiles then

as i knock on the door.

no one comes to it.

probably having the same

fears as liam.

i sigh.

"onward."

is all i whisper.

i take liams

hand and

we rush into the dark.

and i find

the more

time

i spend with

liam

the more i want

to stay and fight

the more i want

to find my way.

and suddenly,

i'm not tired

and liam is laughing

and i don't think

i've ever been this

happy in my

entire life.

liam tells me this

when we're aching

and have probably been running

for a long time.

breathing hard

we catch our breath

before it runs away.

liam is laughing

a beautiful sound

i can't see

him

in the darkness

but i love the

way he is.

he sounds happier

when people

can't

see him.
