  It was roughly around midnight when Tommy poked his head out of the bedding pile to find the room completely dark. Hearing Paul's light snoring he slid out of the bed to head to the shower. Hoping Paul wouldn't wake up or be awake when he finished, Tommy hurried to the bathroom.

  Once the door shut Paul woke and sat up. "Tom?" He called softly.

 In the bathroom Tommy turned the water on and stepped under the spray. He had a bad headache from crying and stress. The fact he was also hungry and slightly hungover didn't help either.

Knowing he would have to start talking to someone soon he finished and headed back to his bed. 

"Tommy? You okay? " came Paul's voice.

"Christ you scared me!" Tommy cried. "You were asleep."

"Was. Not now." Paul held out his hand so Tommy would sit beside him."Come on and tell me what happened."

"Can it wait?"

"Sure. I guess. I thought you might wanna tell me instead of the other two." 

Reluctantly Tommy told Paul the whole story." So now you know why I didn't want to come back. I really need to work this out but I'm here instead." 

"You can quit temporarily." 

About the time Tommy went to answer, the door opened.
