A Day In The Life

Chapter 6: 9/11

I walking around the house hearing muffled sobs. I looked around and finally found where they were coming from, America's room. I walked over to his bed and wrapped my arms around him listening to his sobs.
"It's all my fault Lucy. I couldn't be the hero for my people. I let everyone down. My na-" I cut him off quickly,
"Alfie there's no way you could have known that this was going to happen, trust me I know you and if you could have done something I know you would have but just remember that in this world their are good, bad, and just evil. Because of you, you helped us put an end to Osama Bin Laden and but your nation to peace." I took a breather. "Just think about how France feels right now about what Isis did and not just him but the truth of the matter is is its not any of your faults. Sure it's a problem and I know this is a hard time for you but don't blame yourself."
"T-thanks Lucy it really means a lot. But I have a question."
"Yeah what is it?" A bazillion things were running through my mind but not what came out of his mouth.
"Will you sleep with me tonight please? I just don't want to be alone right now." Alfred asks looking at his lap.
"Yeah! I mean sure but can I borrow clothes? I don't wanna walk to my room it's dark and no ones awake now." I ask
"Yeah here," he says while getting up and handing me one of his shirts and a pair of boxers. He turns around and I change and climb into bed. "Goodnight Lucy." He says wrapping his arms around me.
"Night Alfie," I say as I drift off into a much needed sleep.
