Throughout the night I had bits and pieces of happy dreams about August and me. My mind and thought were focused on him. I couldn't get him out of my mind. Kept thinking, if I did the right thing by leaving. I hope I did the right thing for myself, my brother and him.
I tried as much as possible to fall asleep. Imagining the happy moments of my life. Finally, I fell asleep. It didn't take a long time, I felt someone calling and shaking me.
“Teddy, wake up.” I made out the voice, and it was my brothers.
Yawning,” what time is it?” I still felt very much asleep.
“It's 4:30 am. We need to leave. Now.” He went back to his bed, picking up things I was too sleepy to pay attention to.
“Why? It is very much early.” I dozed off again.
This time around, he shook me vigorously, “wake up Ava!”
