I can still see the crackle of red and orange in my vision. I can still smell the air burning. If I close my eyes, the boat is exploding again and again and again, so I don't close my eyes.
I just stay awake, staring up at the dark ceiling.
JJ isn't lying beside me, but I really wish he was. We didn't think it would be smart for him to be in my room, not when John B has no idea what's going on between us, and if we were alone in my bedroom, he'd only be questioning us.
Maybe I'd sleep better if he was next to me.
Frustrated, I lift myself up and out of my bed, bringing myself out of my bedroom to find each of my friends asleep on the sofa. Well, at least they're getting some sleep. That's good. I look away, peering at John B's bedroom door only to find that it's cracked open.
I step forward, pushing it open entirely but I don't find him. "John B?"
He isn't in there. I don't know why.
I move past my friends, stepping outside to find my brother sitting on the steps leading up to the front door. I'm guessing he hasn't slept either.
Sarah stayed behind with her family, choosing to stay with her sister and stepmother rather than with us which I understand. Her family are handling the death of Ward, so she can take all the time she needs away from us. She promised to call or stop by the next day, so until we see her, John B doesn't seem to be doing too well. I know he's worried about her, we all are, but we have to give her space right now.
John B and Sarah shared little to no words since Sarah decided to stay with her family, and in turn, John B has shared little to no words with any of us. He's just been dealingin whatever way he knows how, and that's apparently by sitting here in the freezing cold.
