The next morning:

I slowly open my eyes to find myself perched against a tree.

Did I fall asleep ?

The last thing I remember is Travis trying to hard to make me feel better.

I hear a rustle in the bushes behind me.

I swear to Irene , if its travis.

I turn round to see Garroth.

"Oh my Irene , garroth you scared me!"
I say to him calmly.

"I'm sorry..its..I..I saw you sitting there...and..I need someone to talk to.."
He stutters.

"What?" I reply , trying not to sound rude.

"I need..to talk to Aphmau.."

"So why are you talking to me?" I ask , confused.

"Because I don't know if I should..its just.."

I interrupt him, "you feel responsible?"

He looks at me as if I were reading his mind as he nods his head , then sighs and looks at the ground beneath us.

"Garroth..as much as we all don't like it...and don't want to think that it was." I sigh and let out my breath.

He nods , gesturing for me to carry on.

"It was his choice.."

All of a sudden , I see a tear fall across garroth's cheek.

"I suppose so.." He says as he walks away, keeping his head down as he goes.

I hear another rustle behind me.

I don't turn round yet, I just wait , I'm to weak to fight or shout or even punch!

I think everyone is..

"Katelyn..." A voice says behind me.

"Travis." I reply.

I turn round to see.. Jeffrey?!
