Days... it's been days since I've eaten or drank anything. Former Spain was never this bare but now there's nothing. This is torture, when will it end? Can't I just curl up and die already? Well, you can't complain about not dying if your too much of a pussy to do it yourself. Fortunately, though, it seems my journey is coming to an end. It's so hard to breathe. Why am I crying? I wanted this right, so why? I'm dizzy, I can't walk anymore. I'd drink my tears but they're too salty. I need help... please someone, anyone, please... I can't keep my eyes open, please. I-I don't want to die if there is a god, please...

On my back now I start to notice different things every time I blink. The sun, blink, the sky, blink, the clouds, blink, a person, blink... wait a person? Oh God yes, yes a person.

"Are you ok?"

'No I'm not please oh please help me'... is what I wanted to say, but instead, all that uttered from my cracking lips was a whimper. Everything went dark. Is this death? Please no, please...

I awake, gasp, and jolt up. I'm... alive? Oh thank God, I'm ok. I scan my surroundings, I'm in a tent I think? And there's... a person? No wait, they're familiar.

"Hey calm down, your ok now I'm here to help. I'm Daniel Kessinger, but you can call me Danny. Do you have a name?"

Danny? That's nice... He's nice.

"I-I *painful cough* a--", he interupts me.

"Whoa that coughs nasty, here", he hands me a glass of water and a couple buiscuts, I gladly indulge, "Better?"

"Y-yes, thank you"

"Of course, your a guest"

I smile a bit. Something about him makes me feel so... comfortable. What is this feeling of happy all of a sudden?

"Now, about your name..."

"Oh yes s-sorry. Jayden, Jayden Monté"

"Nice to meet you. Now here's your bag, rest for now, and then tomorrow I'll give you a tour"

"Oh ok, thank you"

"No problem, g'night"

"Night"

He leaves. I'm alone again... I want him to stay. Do I like him? I mean why else would want him to stay so badly? I don't know I'm just so tired...
