Gus pov:

Later that night, when everyone else had fallen asleep, Gus' mind was racing once again.

He couldn't stop thinking about everything that happened, about what happened to his mom, what happened to his dad, what happened to everyone.

He couldn't turn off his thoughts.

Him and Matt were laying on the couch, Matt fast asleep while holding onto Gus. Gus lay there, hugging Matt, trying to make sense of all the commotion going on in his head.

He missed his dad, and his mom. He missed when they were both happy woth eachother, when they both loved eachother. Now his mom is Titan knows where and his dad is unconscious because of some spell none of them know, much less how to undo it.

He sighed as he thought about the magnitude of everything. He became aware of the tears ready in his eyes and tried to blink them away.

No No No. Not now. Don't you dare start crying!

Too late.

A few tears fell from his eyes and didn't stop.

No! Don't cry! Stop it you stupid idiot.

I swear, if I wake up Matt...

More thoughts of his parents flashed through his mind. Soon, small sniffles filed the silence. Tears flowed from his eyes as he filled with regret.

He felt Matt shift around from next to him.

Great. You've done it.

Matt rubbed his eyes, groggy from waking up. "Hey, what's wrong Gus?" He asked, looking at him, concern written all over his face.

"Its... not important really. I just miss my parents, that's all." Gus said quietly.

Matt hugged Gus a little bit tighter, "Yeah, family stuff has been pretty rough the past year. I miss mine a lot." Matt said, sadness in his voice, "I'm just glad I have you and everyone else now. I honestly don't know what I would do if I had to spend a few more weeks by myself."

After that, the two boys didn't really say much. They laid there, taking the presence and warmth of the other, while they both slowly fell asleep.

(End scene)
I'm really sorry this chapter was so short. I'm also sorry that I've been so crappy about updating recently.

I also have some news, but I'll post a psa chapter after this.

But I promise that this isn't the end of this book. I really do enjoy writing this and making up my own scenarios and stuff. But I hope you'll all bear with me. It's going to be a rough next year, and probably a while after that too, but I'll get through this. And whatever you're struggling with right now, you'll get through that as well.

I love each and every one of you.
Take these you wonderful people;
