Chapter 14
APOV
When I got back to the hospital everyone was still asleep. I dug through my backpack that Dan had remembered to pick up. I found my deck of cards where half the cards were missing and played solitaire. I also tried to work on the magic trick Dan showed me, but I sucked at it.
Everyone woke up in time for dinner. We ate, keep to ourselves and came back to the hospital. Doc came in to check on us. There was also this weird crazy old guy who came to give us a tour. He name was Jeb and he showed us around the caves. It was dark and not so hot. He showed us the main garden, where most people slept (except us because there wasn't enough space) and where to get washed up and get water. That was basically the cave system. It was so dark and confined we all were grabbing a firm hold on each other so we wouldn't get lost.
When we got back we talked, about nothing really. When we ran out of words we became silent. We had known each other long enough that these silences were comfortable. One by one we fell asleep staring at the sky through the gaps in the rocks. We were all in our separate cots. They're breathing sounded so far away. I got off my cot and started pushing it towards Sandra's. With the sound of the metal scrapping against the rock Alex woke up. Sleeping eyed he saw what I was doing. We smiled at each other, thinking the same thing. We picked up the cots so they made less noise. We had to move Dan's so…we shoved him off. He fell on the floor with a thud.
"Wha the –." He muttered. Alex and I quietly snicker and went back to work.
"You two are paying for this in the morning." Dan grumbled before he crawled back on his cot and fell asleep.
Alex and I high-fived each other. The cots were all pushed together now and it was just like we were all on the ground again asleep under the stars.
