That night, as everyone else sleeped, Auggie lay on his back, staring at the sky. It was a peaceful night, but his mind was full of turbulance. Abe and his friends whooped and hollered.
"Come on, Auggie!" they yelled. Auggie shook the spray can and tagged a wall. His girlfriend took him into her arms and kissed him deeply, an action he returned. Abe and the others laughed. Auggie sighed as the scene in his head shifted. A young Auggie opened the door to his older brother's room.
"Abe?" he asked.
"What?" a teen Abe asked sleepily.
"I had a bad dream. Can I sleep with you tonight?" he asked.
"Yeah, sure. Come on in, 'mano," was the response. Auggie closed the door and ran to the bed. Auggie blew out his breath. What had happened to that Abe? The Abe that was a good kid? The Abe that was respectful? The Abe that would never break Mami's heart? His eyes clouded and he continued to stare out into the night.
