A Different Me

Chapter 6

We sat on the dock all night that night. None of us went to sleep we were all scared Sterling would take his life. Yeah, he was that depressed. The sun slowly rose and there were bags under all of our eyes. I grabbed Sterlings hand and I asked him if he wanted to go get some sleep. He shook his head yes and I got up then slowly pulled him to his feet and put my arm around him and we walked inside. I pulled the blanket and sheets down and helped him into bed and pulled the blanket and sheets up and kissed his forehead. He grabbed my hand and said "I love you" I turned around and said "I love you too." Then he let go of my hand and he laid down and went to sleep. I walked out of the room and sat on the couch and texted my brother and asked him to bring coffee and a change of clothes. He replied with the "okay" emoji on the iPhone and I then unlocked the spare bedroom for Brandon and Taylor they went straight to bed and then I walked into the bedroom with Sterling and laid beside him I put my arms around him and fell asleep. We slept from 6:15AM to 3:55PM. I heard a knocking on the door it was my brother with coffee and clothes. "Come in" I said quietly. He came in and sat the stuff on the counter and asked how everyone was doing. I explained what was going on the past few days. "If you need anything let me know." He said. "I will thank you." I said. Then he left. I then walked back into the bedroom and went back to sleep.
