I got home and talked to Savannah for a while before she left. I quickly made dinner and then walked in Justin's room to tell him dinner was ready.

When I walked inside, I was surprised by how empty his room was.

"What happened to all your things?" I asked.

"G-g-gar-g-gar-b-bage," he said.

"Why?" I asked.

He shrugged and looked down at his lap.

"Well if that's what you want," I said, "Dinner's ready."

We ate dinner and afterwards I got Justin ready for bed. He walked into his room and got in bed by himself without me even telling him. When I walked in to read him a story his eyes were closed and he seemed to be asleep.

I walked into my bathroom and got
ready for bed too. Just before going to bed I checked on Justin who was still sound asleep.

My mom checked on me and after all the lights were out I knew she had gone to bed. I got up and opened the door then walked over to the other bedroom.

I turned the light on and closed the door behind me before looking around. I anxiously walked around before pulling one of the drawers out. It was empty so I moved onto the next one which was also empty.

In the last one though, I found a shirt. When I looked closely at it I realized it was Camila's.

Maybe she'll come back for it. I better keep it safe.

I closed the drawers and took the shirt with me back to my room. I laid in bed again holding the shirt close to me. It reminded me so much of her just because it smelled just like her hugs. I couldn't help but cry. I tried to be quiet but it was hard not to make any noise. I turned my head on the pillow and cried into the pillow so my mom wouldn't hear me.

I didn't want her to give me medicine again.

I wish I could go and look for Camila. Maybe I could find her and tell her to come back.

Then I had an idea. What if I went out and looked for her? I had to find her right? She had to be somewhere out there. I just had to find a way to find her.

I drove back home from the school and took a cold shower. After my shower I walked to the fridge and pulled out some microwaveable food. I threw the tray in the microwave and waited for it to heat up. Once it was ready I took it to my room and started eating.

I spent my restless nights thinking about Justin. When I looked at the moon I knew he was probably looking at it too. Maybe things weren't so bad for him.
