Guess what? I didn't manage to save the eggs. I made a face staring at the ugly gold and black mound of what was going to be breakfast.
My mind kept going back to what Cye had lashed out at me. Maybe we, all of us, didn't know Cye as well as we thought we did. He was right. I just thought he was a cute innocent British boy who had somehow migrated over to Japan, kinda like me.
But at the same time, not like me. See, I was glad to be rid of my parents. New Jersey isn't the worse place someone could live if they had the right up bringing, but as you could have guessed, I didn't. My mother worked long hours as a doctor and my dad was a news paper reporter who traveled everywhere. Not much time was left for me.
I just dealt with it. I didn't give myself time to miss my parents. That's why I'm so smart. I found out long ago that when I'm studying or learning I'm in a heavenly bliss. Nothing can ruin it for me. Not even my good for nothing parents.
I threw the eggs into the garbage and put the pan in the sink. The steam sizzled off it into my eyes. I sighed and waved it away with my hand. I needed to talk to Cye.
As I turned off the stove I continued to think back through out the entire war with Talpa. Cye had quietly stuck as close as he could to at least one of us at all times. I just thought that was who he was, a clinger. But now that I look back at it- Cye must have been terrified. He had been looking for comfort the entire time and we didn't give it to him.
I sat down at the table and laid my head in my arms sighing again. Then alarms went off in my head as I realized I was doing it again. Cye needed comfort and I was sitting down here moping.
Well, no more of that.
If Cye needs comfort, he'll get it.
