Chet's POV
By three am, we hadn't talked much more. I was grateful, I didn't want to.
He tried to. He was going to say everything I wanted to hear. It's okay, it's not your fault, it's not fair, you're completely normal, I knew he would say everything I wanted but I didn't want to hear it.
I wanted him to hold me so he did.
He stayed awake with me for another hour but by two thirty, he was asleep. He fought it for a while but eventually I felt his hold loosen on me.
I didn't mind. The time he was awake was spent doting on me, petting me, stroking any part of me he could reach. It made me feel like he wouldn't leave. But I was still afraid so I stayed awake.
Kyler didn't have stars on his ceiling. He had a fan that spun slowly. It might as well have been off. He didn't have a sketchb
