I staggered backward, as if drunk. My head spinning. "No, not now." I thought. "Why does this always have to happen?"
I backed out if the room hardly lifting my gaze off of Eli, I reached to door and sprinted out.
As I was running I ran right into Aaron.
"What, what's going on!?... Lil!"
I was hyperventilating, could hardly breathe.
"He's back! Eli...Zach..." I panted barely audible.
"Eli and Zach are back? Where did they go?" Aaron said, speaking slowly, as if to a small child.
"Eli... Zach... Dead... Him."
And the only words I heard escape Aaron's mouth were "Help, me, God."
...
Aaron and I never really talked about religion or church very much... We went to different churches but I think generally we had the same beliefs.
But hearing him say that really made think that I really didn't know what was going on in his head at the moment and everything that was happening must just be unbearable for him.
He's lost his friends on a vacation that was supposed to be the best summer of our lives.
In a way, it was. I almost felt bad for thinking it but I think Aaron felt the same way...
There were just no words to describe the mixed feelings I was feeling.
