72 hours left...

Noen Eubanks

The week went by slow. We finally got to go back home on July 25th. It felt nice to sleep in my own bed, watch television and even sketch. I was more concerned about Caleb though. He wouldn't leave his room unless he went to the bathroom.

When we transform into huskies he just hides under his bed. Or he would drink water but never eat. I grew more and more concerned since then. Did it have something to do with Ella? I mean, maybe it did. But, personally I wouldn't know that. I'm usually busy spending time with Ashley.
What threw me off though was Ella and Caleb haven't argued or fought at all. I know, surprising right? Well, Caleb has been just a Depressed potato hiding in his bedroom.

"I'm ordering pizza for all four of us... Um, do you think Caleb would eat tonight?" Ella asked me shyly fidgeting with her fingers. I studied her and thought for a quick second then read Caleb's mind....
We sat there quietly for two minutes while I read Calebs mind to figure out if he would.

"Yeah, I think so. His stomach growled," I reply. She smiles at me then plops herself down on the couch. I push play on the remote continuing on watching my show. At some point I lose myself into the show and completely spaced out Ella was sitting besides me. Until she said something.

"Is Caleb alright? Should I talk to him?... It seems like, ever since the stabbing incident happened... He's been closed off, it's scaring me because I don't want him dying on me, Noen," I nodded hearing her side of what's going on. I'm not the only one whose noticed it. Ashley and I would hang in the guest bedroom sometime because Caleb would be whining or crying in our room. I never told them that. I always told Ashley and Ella that he just wanted to be alone.

Now, Ella is sitting next to me on the verge of tears. I sigh as I pull her to me, she leans on my chest as my right arm is wrapped around her.

"Oh, Ella ... If it bothers you just talk to him about it," I said to her. She nods wiping her tears away. She adjusts herself wrapping both her arms around me. I hug her back for a few minutes before pulling away. She kisses my cheek then exits the living room. I sigh as I hear her enter the next room and I go back into the show I'm currently watching.

I hear a couple knocks on the door then see it opening. I sit up looking at her. She smiles mumbling a 'hey' at me. Ella slowly walks over to me hovering above me slightly. She sighed crossing her arms against her chest. I could tell she had been crying a couple minutes ago. Her eyes were slightly puffy and she her cheeks were a red colour.

"Am I doing anything wrong?" She asked politely. No. She didn't do anything wrong at all. I've been moping knowing I will probably never receive her love in return. But, how could I tell her that?

"No, you haven't done anything to make me ignore you. I've just been... mopping around..." I rub the back of my neck studying her expression. Wondering what on earth is running through her mind.

"Mopping?.." She paused, "Does it have to do with it almost being August first?" I nod and she makes an 'O' shape with her mouth. She looks away and sighs but, not a bad one. She hands me my long sleeve gray shirt and I raise an eyebrow at her. She smiles at me motioning to follow her. I put my shirt on following behind her as we head to her bedroom.

"Let's watch movies and cuddle?" I smile nodding my head yes. We both get under the comforters and she puts on a romance movie. While we watch I began to feel her playing with my hair. At some point it felt so nice that my eyes began to get droopy and I felt myself falling asleep.
