STEP BACK!

CHAPTER 13: RECOVERY

I was happy to hear that Theo thanked me for being kind. I just wanted to show consideration and empathy towards his situation.

Then I sat next to Theo on his bed. I knew he was feeling really sad. I just knew he missed his unborn child. I was wondering if there was anything I could do to help him. "Theo...do you need anything?" I looked at him and asked, as I wanted to know if there was anything I could do to help him. He certainly wasn't okay, thinking about what happened with his ex, Gregory.

Theo shook his head, and buried it under his blanket. He was... Tired. "Alright..."

I let him bury his head underneath his blanket, after he shook his head in a 'No'. Theo was definitely tired, and I felt like he needed a good night's rest. "Theo, please sleep well." I told him, as I got up from next to him and took a few steps away from his bed. I was ready to let Theo sleep on his own and wanted him to get some rest.

After Theo calmed down, Wish headed back to his room quietly. "I'll... wait... for... Wish..." Inside, he saw Diamond sleeping on his couch, sleep talking cutely. I was just about to go to my room and lie down, when I heard some faint talking from inside the dorm. I was wondering who was speaking at this time...I decided to check, to see who was it. My eyes widened, as I saw Diamond sleeping and sleep talking.

"Diamond, are you okay?" I called out Diamond's name, as I approached him. I decided to wake him up gently, since I wanted to check on him. I felt like Diamond needed to go to his room, so he could properly sleep. "Yay... He's finally here..."

Diamond smiled cutely, still half-asleep. Then he rubbed his eyes and jump-hugged Wish cutely. "Ahh... You take too long.." He pouted cutely.

I was surprised to hear Diamond talk about me, even when he was half-asleep. And then, I was even more surprised when Diamond suddenly jump-hugged me. I felt like he was a little too excited for me, when we only just met today.

"Ah, Diamond...it's late now and I think it would be better to sleep."

I spoke calmly to Diamond, as I felt like it wasn't the right time to be as excited as that. Diamond shouldn't be this happy, when it's already midnight and he should be sleeping. Wish carried Diamond on the bedroom, and tucked him to sleep. Then kisses his forehead and slept beside him. I gently picked up Diamond, who was sleeping and tired too. I knew he needed to sleep and wasn't able to say it himself. I tucked him on the bedroom and kissed his forehead.

"Sleep well, Diamond." I whispered, as I kissed his forehead. Then, I layed down next to him. I felt so tired after today, knowing that it was a day filled with a lot of different things. But I was happy to see that Diamond had started to sleep.
