As My Heart Dies-Chp94

[everyone settled in for a good night's sleep. The next morning, Awesome waited outside Hater's room door, not knocking just in case he needed more rest]

Hater: |-) Zzz...

Wander: [woke up first to go get the morning newspaper n saw Awesome reading it] Oh, ur early

Awesome: Oh sorry to bother u. Is Bonehead awake?

Wander: He's still asleep. U want me to wake him?

Awesome: Nah, I can wait. Mind if I wait inside?

Wander: Sure, bt keep quiet. He didn't reli sleep well last night coz of his seizures :(

Hater: Mmm... (turned a few times in his sleep)

Awesome: Tht bad, huh?

Wander: Yeah. He took some painkillers before bed, bt it can only work so much. He might need sleep aids if this keeps up :(

Awesome: Wat r u going to do, once this cruise is over?

Wander: I don't know... Take a break from adventuring, maybe? Just chill either at his home planet or mine, it's up to him. I just don't think he should do anything more to accelerate his condition... :(

Hater: ... (began trembling in his sleep) ... ;(

Wander: Shhh... It's OK... I'm here... :( [strokes his head] I wish... I wish I could hv more time with him, not just these few mths or yrs... ;(

Awesome: :( [rubbed the nomad's bk]

Hater: ... (stirred awake) S...Sunshine...?

Wander: [quickly wipes his tears away] Hey, look who's here to see u :)

Awesome: Yo (wave)

Hater: Oh... (yawn) Hey, Awesome.

Awesome: Sorry I came unannounced, bt I just thought I'd catch u bright n early so I can show u something

Wander: Ooh, wat is it?

Awesome: Ah ah, it's a surprise ;)

Hater: (yawn) I'll be ready in a minute.

Awesome: Take ur time, I can wait :)

Hater: (gets up and heads into bathroom to change)

Wander: Pls don't tell him wat I just told u... I don't want him to see me unhappy n start blaming himself...

Awesome: I won't, unless u want me to, I won't. I promise

Hater: (came out in his robe) Ready.

Awesome: Cool, let's go

Wander: Hv fun, u too (wave)

Hater: (wave) (left with Awesome)

Awesome: Wanna hv some breakfast first? Shall we do this thing first?

Hater: Yeah I could go for a little something.

Awesome: Cool. Let's go then

Wander: [waited until he was fully gone before he sat dwn n started crying, letting it all out, before slowly calming himself dwn n washed up, grabbing his hat n left the room, setting his own plan in motion]
