"Cheea up Ang! He's only been gone bout ten minutes!" Bailey laughed pating my back. "I know yer not dis needy."
"I know but still," I said giving her my ultimate pouty face. "I want my Spotty."
"Man, And I thought I was soise den Angel." Doodles laughed pinching my cheeks. "She's soo cute when she's playin de big baby of de family."
"I ain't playin miss! I am de big baby!" I laughed.
"Yer not allowed te be a baby!" Bailey yelled slapping myon the head. "I'll soak ye if ye act like dat again!"
"I'da radda see ye try an deck me in de face!" I said getting up and guarding myself from Bailey.
"Dat's it sis, C'mere!" Bailey said lunging at me. "Ye know dis ain't fun widdout some help!" Bailey hinted to Doodles.
Within moments they had me pinned down and were both tickling me. "STOP!" I yelled gasping for air. "I hate bein tickled!"
Bailey and Doodles laughed and paused for a moment. "We know!" they said tickling me again.
For most of the day me, Doodles, and Bailey sat and talked. Spot brought us something to eat and left with Poet to check something out. Kevin came to get Bailey and Doodles left with Race and that left me alone at the docks watching the boys playing in the water. Not long after, R.T. joined me in my usual spot.
"Somethin's botherin ye. I can tell." R.T. sat next to me.
"Yeah know, something bout dis is, its. I dunno anymora." I buried my face in my hands. "I can't stop havin dese dreams, but I also can't ask someone bout dem. Dere, dere de things I shouldn'ta eva seen. I swea I must be goin outta me mind."
"Whuddye mean things ye shouldn'ta eva seen?"
"I can't explain it." I gave a long sigh. "Spot tell ye te come talk te me er somethin? I know he's still mad at ye fer whudd ye did. I'd figua ye'd keep a safe distance fer a while longa."
"Look, I know I gots a soft spot fer ye, but ye ain't gotta worry. I guess I neva told ye me an Spot actually talked and agreed on somethin. Besides, he did tell me yer scarin him. Ye haven't been sleepin well lately."
I looked at R.T. "Hold it, ye talked wid Spot?"
"Ey, dunn get off topic hea!"
"Alright alright. Besides I figuaed he wouldna known since I thought he was sleepin wheneva I was awake." I looked at someone jumping off the docks not paying attention to who it was.
"Ye think he wouldn know if his own goil wasn gettin sleep? He's a lil strange bout things. Believe me, he knows somethins wrong even dough ye try te tell im its nuttin."
"Look, I told Spot it ain't a bif deal. I'm jus a lil mixed up bout some things dats all. I jus need some time te think an te figua out whudds really going on. I feel like, like somethin hea isn't goin de way its supposed te. I feel like someones keeping de truth from me an I dunno who it is right now." I stared into the water hoping it would give me an answer.
R.T. stood up. "If ye need te sort things out den I guess its fine. But if this is somethin dats gonna affect yer relationship ye should tell im now." With that, R.T. left me alone again at the docks.
I stayed at the docks for a long time. I watched until all the boys went to the Lodging House and still decided to stay and think. I couldn't figure out what was going on. Something was wrong and I had a bad feeling in my gut. Something horrible was going to happen and it was because of something in my dreams, I felt it.
I knew I couldn't possibly walk right up to Trevor and ask him how he was somehow involved with the Blooms. He's probably shoot me then and there just to kill me for asking a question that shouldn't even have crossed my mind. I wondered if I could tell Doodles about my dreams or would she tell me I was insane, as insane as I thought I was.
As the sun started to go down I decided I should start heading back. I walked slower than usual regretting now keeping my silence from Spot. Maybe he had a right to know what is bothering me, but what if it would just worry him more. I wasn't sure.
I reached the lodging house. 'Ye know, ye said ye was gonna be tough! Gotta keep strong.' I looked inside and saw Bailey. 'Derres no way I'm lettin any of em down dis time. I gotta figua dis out on me own and soon.' I put on my happy face and proceeded into the Lodging House.
