Sighing to myself I slip out of bed. Sliding into the floor I bring my legs up to my chest and rock back and forth. The cold tile reminds me I am alive and I have to figure everything out. I think back to the VERY serious conversation the five of us just had about Linsey. Marie spends 6 hours a night talking Lins off the edge, but not Marie is leaving for collage and this is our situation.
We all have our problems but at least we see a reason to live. Lins doesn't and we are at an standstill. None of us could live with ourselves if anything happened to Lins. The misplaced guilt would break us all to our core and none of us would recover. I love Lins to death. If I do nothing else right I need to save here. I need her to be okay. If we can just get her through High School she will see the world that truly exists.
The words Marie told us echo in my thoughts. The truth and fear radiating in her tone."Lizzy I really am stuck" "Brie I would die if something happened to Lins" "Chrissy I'm leaving and I'm afraid I wont be able to help her enough." "Hope you need to find a way to help her."
I shake my head to clear my thoughts. We can do this. I can save her. I reach up to my night stand and grab my sketch pad. Flipping to a clear page i carefully draw a ~punk rock is punk rock~ sketch. As I shade in the background my heart rate levels out and I feel my anxiety slip away . As my back untended I finish the masterpiece and really wan. To crawl back in bed.
I get up to quietly creep down stairs for a frame when the sound of pebbles on my balcony door alert me that Ky is in my yard. Yawning I slip out the door and take a seat at the edge of the platform and dangle my feet.
