Lost

We need to go!!

Kwazii POV
I'm currently pacing up and down my room trying to figure out how to get time to pass by faster. I think I might have worn the floor boards down by all my pacing but that wasn't my biggest concern right now.

After about an hour, I jumped when there was a sudden knock at my door and I took a deep breathe to get the thoughts of Peso being on the other side out of my mind. I exhaled quietly as I went to open the door.

On the other side was indeed not Peso but Tweak.

"Hey Tweak, what are you doing out of bed and here at this time of the night?" I leaned against the doorframe and tilted my head against it.

She stared at me for while and when I opened my mouth to ask what's wrong, she blurted out, "Kwazii! I know how worried you've been and the rest of the team has noticed to and we were wondering if maybe you'd like to take some time for yourself and go off and relax?" She looked hopeful but doubtful, like she knew I wanted to refuse.

I thought about it and decided to go. Can't keep moping around cause the longer Peso is gone, the more worried I am and the more irritated I get with everyone.

I sighed and offered Tweak a small smile and a nod. She squealed quietly and wrapped me in a hug. I relaxed against her and hugged her back. Burring my head in her neck and smiling sadly.

"You sure you got everything Kwas? And it's not that we're kicking you out for a bit, but we just think that you might need some time to yourself to collect your thoughts and to have some time to yourself and to relax." Captain Barnacles smiled at me as he tightened his grip on my shoulder in a reassuring way as he pulled me into a hug. Suddenly everyone was getting into the hug and it turned into a group hug.

"Stay safe Kwazii and just have some fun while you're out there, k?" Dashi said as she walked around the Gup and patted my back. It was nearly time to go and we agreed that I'd only be gone for around 4-5 days and while the others disagreed at first, they finally agreed to let me come back when I said I would.

I sighed as I looked around the crew, my family, and a heavy weight weighed down on my chest as I thought about Peso and how he's out there all alone. I managed a small smile as I waved to them as I got into my Gup.
