Chapter 24 (Jake POV)

I was still staring into space, the corner of my eye on the door, when I felt Maeve lean on my shoulder.

Reading.

I froze, not knowing what to do.

Do I move over? Hell no, that would just be a jerky move, and I would feel guilty.

Do I just stay where I am, and not do anything? That is probably the easiest option for me, but then I would feel nervous.

The third is lean into her, but c'mon, I was too fucking nervous to do that.
So I just let her lean on me, as I stared at the door.

I still held the weapon to be ready, but my grip loosened,

I stared at the wall doorway, waiting for anything to go through.

I did this for about an hour, and that was when Maeve fell asleep.

On the wall.

She had moved about 20 minutes ago when she decided to get to sleep.

I just kept staring at the wall, or door.

I kept staring at the door, throughout the night.

This was the first time I stayed up for a full night.
Hope I am not tired tomorrow.

...

The night was very quiet, silent.

It was very uneventful. And quiet, as I had said.

Which was fine, at least I didn't have to waste a bullet.

I just stood and kept my eyes on the door.

Just staring.

Around 5 in the morning, or that is what I think, for all I know it could be 3 in the morning, or 7.

I think I am correct with the 5th hour.

But it is very possible I am wrong.

Unfortaniatly.

It rained.

It rained a lot at the 5th hour.

The rain sounded loud, but no thunder ocupied the skys.

So that is good.

I never seen rain before, I wonder what it is like?
I was just about to get up to go outside, but then stopped myself.

What if something happens, in the 3 or so minutes I am out, something sneaks to Maeve, and something happens . . .

The scary part is I am not overeacting, I am just being realistic in this world.

The world of hell.

Fucking hell why did we have to be here, in this part of time, why can't we just be born a few hundred years earlier, but would it get much better?

I wouldn't know.

I bit my lip, as I slowly got back down to the ground, beside Maeve.

I took a deep breath.

I'll let her wake naturally.

But . ..

What if stops raining?

And she doesn't get to see the rain?

But is it really worth it?

Would she really want to be woken up for a weather?

I just did a random choice at this point.

I will wake her in an hour.

Not that I know when that hour will end.
