Mateo 8:41pm
I wake up feeling incredible. I don't check the time because I don't want anything to shatter my survivor spirt. in my head, I'm already in another day . I have beat death-cast predictions and the first person in history to do so. I turn over, find my glasses, and kiss rufus on his fore head. I walk to the kitchen wanting to do something nice for rufus but I remember that my stove is still broke so I go for water instead. I grab two tall glasses of water and start to head back to rufus when he runs out my bedroom door screaming my name.
Rufus 8:47pm
I slowly wake up reaching for Mateo and I realize he is not there. I jump up and run out the door screaming "MATEOO!!!!", I almost run into him while he is carrying two cups of water. I take the cups set them on the counter and hug Mateo to death "What were you thinking you said you wouldn't leave, you could've died" I say exhaustingly. "but i didn't and i think we beat death-cast predictions" he said as cheerfully as possible. I quickly search for a phone once i find it i look at the time then look at Mateo "Buddy we still have a couple hours, but that doesn't mean that we haven't. Will you come back and ley down with me?" I asked while taking one of the glasses of water. "Yeah" he says and walks with me back to his room.

I can't believe its only 9pm i thought surely the day was over, I could feel my anxiety rise as we walked back to my room. "Tomorrow you are gonna let me take you on a date" Rufus says confidently. I could feel my face grow red, I don't say anything and lay back down. Rufus comes and lays down next to me and puts an arm around me as i drift off to sleep.

I wake up feeling for rufus to feel that he still has his arms tightly around me. What if he died in his sleep, what do I do.

"nothing Roof i'm just scared to look at the time " I answer, "Then don't we will look later "he says to comfort me I just lay there awake cuddling with Rufus. I can't go back to sleep like this my anxiety won't let me.
