Just A Matter Of Time

Regret

I lay on the bed, wishing that my friends will come home soon... it was a huge mistake for leaving without them... I don't know why I did, I just thought I should. I wanted to ignore the fact that they were in the hospital waiting for Adams to be ready to come home... I ignore the fact, because I don't want to imagine it...its pain that I cannot bear... I swear...

Somebody... Washington, Franklin, Madison, Adams...Alexander... anybody! I feel afraid and distraught... that man may be waiting for me to kill me...

The door unlocks, I sit up in my bed, it's dark still. I walk to the living room to see the others except Adams and Franklin entering. They give me dirty looks. I look down. I know I deserve such looks, but it hurts.

Madison comes up to me and glares up at me, "How dare you leave us? All on your own? Are you insane?!" He snaps at me, I look away from him.

"Not talking? Now tell me, what happened when you got here? On your own?"

"Madison. I KNOW you know what happened. I get it, it was an idiotic mistake! Don't rub it in!" I say.

Madison freezes at the yelling I did. He seems to be holding in tears. I'm sorry Madison. I'm so sorry... I want to say, but my mouth keeps shut. He takes in a deep breath and yells:

"Well--I told you to stay with us! And you just up and went! Did you ever think on what could happen to you?!"

I stare at Madison, not even planning to say anything. He looks up at me, and I see the tears in his eyes. I look away, and begin to walk back to my room.

"THOMAS!" Madison yells at me, obviously crying now. He must've felt broken... heart broken... and I caused it. Why am I like this towards him in this life?

I sit in my room, puzzled and depressed. Madison is my best friend and the one I mostly care about in this group, and I ignore him.

I laid on my bed, and I think for a moment. Wait. I'm wondering how Adams is, and why Franklin didn't follow them. I get up, and asked from my bedroom.

"Is Adams doing alright? And where's Franklin?"

No answer. They're mad at me for sure. I exit my room and go over to Hamilton and Washington.

"How's Adams doing, and where's Franklin?" I ask again.

Washington looks at me, and Alexander ignores me. Washington answered naturally, "Adams is in a coma. He will not be able to leave for the time being, Franklin is staying with him." I nod. Then I left back to my room.
