Loving spirits

Tears

CORY POV
I put a bit of toothpaste on my toothbrush and started to brush my teeth, my entire day had literally just been math work, it's been surprising very quiet especially since Nick was in a cartoon like sugar rush not that long ago, I spit into the sink and finish washing my mouth I enter my room expecting the winter like cold that usually inhabits my room, but there was nothing it felt....normal I quickly scan the room I couldn't see Nick anywhere I slowly walked around my room checking under my bed, Nick likes to scare me before bed either by hiding under my bed or within my closet which now that I think about it is Nicks room since he doesn't really sleep anywhere else I slowly walk towards my closet I suddenly feel a small chill in the air, but something was of I felt a sudden wave of sadness hit me I blink a few time to not cry I slowly move my arm to the closet and put my hand on the door and as if years of water in a dam suddenly gushed out I feel tears roll down my cheeks I try to stop crying I couldn't I started to make a small winning noise I cover my mouth with my other hand to muffle, I suddenly hear my door open I turn around to see my mother standing there a look in of worry was on her face "Cory why are you crying is everything alright?" She started to walk closer to me "I'm fine, I was just remembering something from long ago" she grabs me by the arm and pulls me into a hug "Cory listen I know it's hard to forget about things from the past but you just have to stay strong and move forward you can't let these things get to you and if they do just remember you have someone here to talk to" I could hear in her voice that she was about to cry as well so hold her tighter "I understand" I let her go she held my face in her hands "I love you" I couldn't say anything I gave a smile and she let go of my face and left the room I turn to the closet the immense feeling of sad had mostly departed I walked away turned off the light went into my bed and slowly drift off to sleep.

NICKS POV
I held Herbert close to me I closed my eyes feeling the stream of tears running down my face, I couldn't stop crying I try to open my eyes to look at Herbert but everything was just blurry I try to focus on Herbert's face, after a little bit of ugly sobbing I had clear some of my tears and could see Herbert's adorable little smile "heh I most look terrible huh?" I start to talk to Herbert and he obviously doesn't respond "God what would Cory say if he saw me like this.....what would my parents think if they could see me now?" I stay quiet for a moment and pretend that Herbert is talking back "yeah I guess they would think I'm a crybaby, do think I'm a crybaby?" I stare at Herbert, I give a small smile "I knew you wouldn't, I love you" I hold him tightly to my chest and fall asleep.
