Colin
I wake up and Lo's side of the bed is empty. My hand rests on his pillow and the indentation of the shape of his head is still there. Last night was a lot. There were so many emotions and I am glad I was there for him. Lo was beaten up and I don't know if it was because of what happened or if it was just because of me in general.
At first, I thought that we could have handled the situation better. I didn't want the bloodshed and I actually thought that communicating with them would make them listen but now I see that he didn't have a choice.
He did what he could to protect everyone and I would never blame him. The only thing he is ever going to get from me is support. I sit up on the bed and search for his scent.
Where is he?
I stand up and put on a fresh pair of shorts and walk out of the house. Colm walks into the gates when I see him and he smiles at me "You're up,'' he manages.
