dennis was out on a date with some chick, which was great news for me. that meant i got the apartment to myself for a few hours. well, i hope it will be a few hours at least. because he's for sure gonna try to bang that chick, which means that he's for sure gonna bring her back here. oh well, i'm happy with the alone time that i've got. i down the hall and unlock the apartment door, setting down the case of beer i had grabbed once i'm inside. after i close the door and turn around to kick my shoes off, i jump. "fuck!" i can't help but exclaim, because holy shit sawyer was in my apartment. "jesus man, how did you even get in here?"

It’s difficult out there, you guys will understand when you’re older. Oh, don’t push your agenda on them.

the exhausted

“I can’t sleep.”

“I can’t keep my eyes open.”

“Can you help me back to bed?”

“I’m okay. I’m not even that tired.”

“I don’t remember the last time I slept.”

“I can’t sleep, yet. There’s too much to do.” 

“I don’t want to sleep. I keep having nightmares.”

“I promise I’ll sleep in a bit, just let me finish this, first.”

“Can you help me lie down? I can’t move, I’m too tired.”

“I can’t even think straight anymore… maybe I need to sleep.”

“Of course I want to relax. But, we don’t all get what we want.”

“I’m so tired I can’t do anything, but I’m not tired enough to sleep…”

the concerned

“You keep yawning.”

“Go. Sleep. That’s not a request.”

“If you’re that tired, just take a nap.”

“You look like you haven’t slept in days.”

“Why didn’t you tell me you were this tired?”

“Those are some bad bags under your eyes.”

“You don’t have to push so hard. It’s okay to rest.”

“You can barely keep your eyes open, go lie down.”

“I haven’t seen you sleeping in a long time, what’s up?”

“I just had to stop you from toppling over. You’re not okay.”

“With everything you’ve been through lately, of course you’re tired.”

“I heard you thrashing around last night. Nightmares? Is that why you’re so tired?”

“You know, you keep fretting over everyone else, but you won’t even take a second to relax, yourself.”
