you're sharing a room with your enemy. there was only one bed, so your laying on your side as far away from him as possible. he probably assumes its because you don't like him, you're not going to tell him that its because you do. you finally drift off, and don't know how long your asleep before something wakes you up. you stay still, listening and roll over when you hear muffled sobs. 267 you sit up, worry filling you as you look at your enemy his back to you. "easton" you ask softly. he clears his throat. "yeah?" he asks his voice scratchy. "are you alright?" you say. im ine " he says, but his volce breaks. your chest squeezes. "look at me." you plead, and he doesn't move for a minute before turning to you, tears on his cheeks. you hold him close, whispering soft words as he cries in your arms. your heart crumbles. "come

here." you say quietly,

holding out your arms as you

lay back down.he moves

closer to you, tucking his

head under your chin.
