Chapter 26: Accepting Yourself (AT 2AM In A Dorm Room)

'I Can't Believe You Did That Craaaaaaaaaaaaig!' Jacob Hissed From Above.Craig Uncovered Himself From His Blanket.'Shut Up,Jaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacob.And Go To Bed! Its Late!' Jacob Laughed.'You Can't Tell Me What To Do,You're Not My Brother!' Daniel Looked Over At Jacob.He Smirked At His Younger Brother.'Go To Bed,Jake.Now,Please.' Jacob Seemed To Only Listen To And Respect His Older Brother.Craig Pondered This For Some Time Before Nestling Under His Blanket Once Again.He Pushed The Fabric Up Slightly Just So His Eyes Could Stare Into The Ceiling Lights.'So Who's Gonna Turn Off The Lights?' Cody Asked,Closing His Novella And Placing It On The Floor.Everyone Looked At Each Other.Cody Sighed.'That's Fine,I'll Do It.He Got Up,Flipped The Switch And SONIC SPED It Back To The Bed And Buried Himself In Pillows.Craig Stared Out Into The Void,Not Really,The Bed Near The Door,Which Was The One In Craig's Current Line Of Sight,Belonged To Tom,Who Was Asleep,As He Should Be.Craig Quickly Climbed Out Of His Own Sleep Chamber And Walked Over To Tom,Trying To Not Be Too Loud On The Creaky Floorboards.He Realised He Should Probably Go Back For His Fabric Bed Covers.He Quickly Skipped Back,Grabbed The Covers And Sat On The Wooden Floor Next To Tom's Bed,The Blanket Wrapped Around Him.Craig Stood Up And Watched Him Sleep,Which Was Kind Of Creepy,But Hey,Craig Is Kind Of Creepy.'Heh.Sweet Dreams Loverboy...' Craig Patted His Soft Hair Before Retreating To The Floor And Falling Asleep.

The Void...This Was Where Craig Would Spend His Dreaming Hours.Correction; He Didn't Have Dreaming Hours.He Didn't Dream.He Was Just Alone In A Pitch Black Corner Of Existence,Wiling Away The Hours Until He Could Acceptably Be Awake Again.Craig Decided He Should Reflect On The Events Of The Day.His Mind Kept Flashing Back To The Woods With Tom,It Felt So Good To Be Loved But...What About Cassidy? He May Have Permanently Ruined Their Friendship Forever And Ever But....She Also Left Him For That Other Guy...But He Was Caring...Unlike Her,And He Would Make Sure That He Fixed Things Between Them.

Craig's Eyes Fluttered Open To The Light Of The Dorm Room,He Was Curled Up On The Floorboards,The Blanket Tightly Wrapped Around Him.As Per Usual,Tom Was Still Asleep,Jacob Was Taking As Many Pictures As His Phone Storage Was Allowed,And The Rest Of The Boys Were Completely Disinterested.Craig Sighed And Stood Up.Time To Start The Day...He Thought Gloomily.
