This entire last week Ocean had been stressing out. I knew that he was thinking about the trials that were coming up, but there was nothing that I could really do. I would tell him over and over again that things would be OK. I would tell him that I would be there with him every step of the way. That he would never be without me unless he wanted to. He would never be alone unless he wanted to be alone. I was reassuring him every few minutes while this week passed, and nothing at all seemed to be getting through to him.
