Left Behind (Suntan)

Determination

Basil stepped forward next and turned to Kel. Kel stared at Basil shamefully, awaiting the scolding that was in store for him. "You could have helped me, and made sure Aubrey wouldn't hurt me anymore. If you put in more effort, I would be better off. You should think more about others. Stop being so selfish."

I'll make sure I'll do better! Please trust me!" Kel cried, tears streaming down his face.

Kel breathed shakily, and looked over to Sunny's bed, where Sunny was, to his relief, sleeping peacefully. Kel crept out of the bedroom and sat on the sofa, mulling over the contents of his dream. I've got to make sure that I do my best for everyone, and make sure everyone is content. Kel thought, clenching his fists, a determined look in his eyes.
