It's still cold outside
Kate won't let me outside
She's locked my window
Well
She had Pete do it
So here I am
Staring out my window
The starry night above my head
And I can't even see the whole picture
Vincent Van Gogh would be disappointed
Mom would be disappointed...
NO!
Not now...
I looked closer
At the house in front of me
His house
The house full of people
People I admired
People that have helped me
And now
Now I can't see them
I bet they don't want anything to do with me now
Especially Colby
After Kate
It's not worth the conversation
I finally had my life line
My life jacket
That kept me up
When I was drowning
But Kate had to go and pop it
Like always
It was dark
But a light
No
Multiple lights came from the safe house
People holding them
And cameras
I didn't really understand what was going on
But
If I listened close enough
I could hear them laughing
I smiled
I loved their laughter
I heard someone walk into my room
I tensed up
My shoulder got tapped
I relaxed
I scooted over
Allowing Tarron to look out with me
He looked at me
I looked at him
'What are they doing?' He asked
'I don't know.' I signed back
We stayed quiet for a moment
Watching them closer
'I miss them.' Tarron suddenly signed
'I know. Me too.' I was honest
We watched for a few more minutes
I saw them start to walk inside
Tarron turned to me
'Good night brother.' Tarron smiled
I smiled back
Although it hurt
'Good night brother.' I signed back
Watching him leave
I was still smiling
Feeling a little bit sincere now
I looked back at the safe house
Everyone was inside
Except one person
The light shined on them
Colby
He stopped at the door
About to go inside
When he turned his head
Looking straight at me
I lost my smile
Frozen
Fear
Until he smiled
My fears melted
I smiled back
That was all I needed
I could sleep tonight
Maybe the whole night
I watched him walk inside
I wish I could walk with him
I good at wishing
