I rolled over on the bed in the hotel room. Once I realized I was on the bed I immediately jumped out of bed. I remembered I slept on the floor, so why was I on a bed.
"Woah there, way to get a start on the day." Jamie laughed.
"Sorry, I know I fell asleep on the floor not the bed so I was confused." I rubbed my eyes. I walked into the bathroom and splashed my face with cold water to fully wake me up. I walked out and sat back on the bed. I reached over to the bedside table and grabbed a pop tart. I sat up on my bed eating a chocolate pop tart as Jamie was taking a shower. I sat and enjoyed the silence for once. It's always quite around here but I never fully enjoyed it. Now I do, I have a bed, food, and Jamie. I guess he's alright. I smiled to myself, he's better than alright. I watched out the window. Just watched the city. Before this all happened I never went to the city. It always seemed too overwhelming and chaotic. I'm glad I have gotten to see it though, well the good parts.
"You're such a dork, you know that."
"Hey. I did nothing."
"You are just staring out the window. Nothing is gonna happen, I promise. We are the only two left."
"Yeah I'm sadly one of those two and your the other one." I said as I rolled my eyes.
"Yeah sure. Somehow I just got on this bed this morning and found you sleeping on the ground. You totally didn't give me the bed to sleep on." He winked at me. I walked past him and went to the bathroom to shower. I stepped in and the hot water hit my back. The steam filled the bathroom and fogged the mirror. I couldn't help but think of the fog that came to us a few months ago. I still don't know anything about what happened. Neither did anyone. No one lived to tell the tale, but me and Jamie. I stepped out of the warm shower and was hit with the cold air. I wrapped a towel around my body and stood I front of the mirror. I ran my hand over the mirror to wipe the fog off. I looked at my reflection. I look like Scott. The hair, eyes, and smile looked similar to his. I couldn't help but think about him. I quickly through the clothes on that were on the floor. They weren't the ones I came in with so...ugh Jamie. I picked up the clothes and shook my head. Black leggings, black hoodie, black converse. What a depressing combination. I stepped out of the shower with my long hair dripping onto the floor.
"Aw you look like a sad version of cat women."
"Yeah, definitely sad." I walked over to Jamie and sat across from him on the bed.
"So tell me more about you S."
"There's really not much to me."
"Oh. Come on S. You know there is."
"Pizza, purple, peony, pinball, puppies, and people."
"What?"
"Favorite food, color. Flower, game, animal and I like people.
"Weird. I feel like you have said all that before because there is no way you could have just thought of all those things that start with p."
"Yeah, I've told that too all the past guys that have ever talked to me."
"Dumby." Jamie laughed at himself.

For the rest of the day we sat and talked about random things like we normally did. I mean there was really nothing else to do. It was now way past dinner time and we decided to go out and find entertainment. We stepped outside of the hotel and started just walking around. We haven't said anything to each other in the past two hours. I didn't know what to talk about. It was nearing 12am and still nothing. Jamie seemed so distant. He didn't walk as close as he did to me. He didn't make any jokes or make fun of me. He didn't even look back at me. Jamie stopped in his tracks and still faced forward, not at me
"Lasagna, lemon yellow, lion, legos, and love."
"What?" Jamie started walking again, but I didn't move. I watched as he walked into the dark road until I couldn't see him anymore. I walked to where I thought he was. He wasn't there. I looked all around.
"JAMIE." I yelled at the top of my lungs. I kept yelling for him. But nothing. Silence. Nothing but the dark abyss around me. Where did he go. A tear rolled down my cheek. I didn't want to be alone. Not again. I sat in the road hoping he would come back soon. That didn't happen. Or so I think. I drifted off to sleep in the road waiting for him.
