Come What May, Pt. 67
I stand there, completely stunned into silence. He smiles meekly, and walks back over to me, putting his hands on my shoulders. “Go back inside. It’s beginning to rain.â? He kisses me on the cheek. “I’ll see you tomorrow morning.â? At that, he walks back into the hotel. I stand there for a minute. Then I turn and go back to the bar. I don’t want to drink anymore. Adam and Peter are still at the table in the bar. Will is gone; he’s probably in his room with some random girl by now. Peter’s head is down on the table; he’s passed out. Adam looks up at me with bleary eyes and asks “Dreamy, what’s wrong?â? I sit back at the table in Will’s empty chair. “It’s raining outside. I hate rain.â? Adam slings an arm around me and pulls me into an embrace. “It’s okay, Dreamy. It won’t rain forever,â? he slurs drunkenly.
I bury my face in his shoulder and begin to cry. Whether it’s out of sadness or hapiness…or both even, is beyond me.
