Victor Hernandez has a Girlfriend!

Hugo Allen: Have Some Courage.

Just when you think you had enough, life shows you what 'enough' really means. Just when you think you will never be the same again, wait a few months and you are back to doing the same mistakes again.

Just when I thought I would never be able to sleep that night, I dozed off into a deep sleep.

Only to wake up again at some point during the night.

Where I was. Who was with me. What about my fever.

All this wasn't the first thing to occur to me.

As I opened my eyes, the first thing that happened was the last night scene of Jules and Emmaline playing itself before my eyes that were mindlessly staring at the ceiling.

I thought of it again and again. Not in a critical way - the way that would let me think of it intensely and derive some information out of it in order to solve this gruesome mystery - but in a passive way that was all about replaying it over and over in my head.

How horrible she looked then. How badly he was handling her.

All this and more.

When I was done with this, I moved to look at who was sleeping next to me and it was Cordelia. Blair was gone. And my fever was gone too.

Poor Cordelia. I didn't even read her a bedtime story. I know Blair might have. Because she does it when I miss it.

And I never miss it. Except when God makes me miss it, like yesterday night.

Blair might have left the bed when my fever subsided. She does that sometimes; and other times she just remains in bed with us.

What a wimp I am in the name of big brother.

And I hate it.

*yawn*

I think I wouldn't be able to sleep now. But I should try. Before the alarm for school goes off.

Not being able to get any sleep before school alarm is so frustrating.

......

What exactly happened between them? I am sure, whatever it is, Jules is the culprit because he was clearly threatening her. Will she be O.K.?

She was crying as hell though. Poor girl.

Why do bad things happen to good people?

Ugh, I have heard this so many times before that now I think the mankind should start treating it like an EPIC mystery that will never get solved and whoever manages to solve it should be hailed as the biggest champion there ever is.

Morning.

"Is he still asleep?", my mother's voice resonated in my ear, causing me to wake up.

Hmm, I did fall asleep anyway.

"Big brother is not going to school today?", Cordelia's voice gave me the rest of the courage to get up on my bed, finally coming out of sleepiness.

I rubbed my eyes and looked around. Mother and Blair were standing by the bed whereas Cordelia was sitting up on the bed like me.

"Big brother is up! Yay!", Cordelia chanted, throwing her small arms around my torso.

"Cordelia, careful. You'll hurt Hugo.", mom said, looking disappointedly at her. "How many times have I told her to give Hugo his personal space."

"Well, that surely can't work when Hugo taught her otherwise.", Blair said jokingly moving closer to my side. "They both literally breathe the same air. Whenever I am washing or ironing Hugo's clothes, I can always smell Cordelia from them."
