Friends Change
Izz sighed lying on a bed in the spare room which was now his. Now he wasn't a Psammead, he couldn't sleep with Carley in bed because it would look weird. He felt depressed that night.
He'd skipped diner that night which had Leah and the others worried. Elisa knew he was feeling sad, sadder than he'd ever been in his life. She knew it was because he missed being himself.
"You okay?
The others were worried because you didn't want anything to eat. You can tell me what's on your mind.
You know I can keep a secret." she said softly as she nuzzled him.
"Can I tell you something, something secret?
I don't feel comfortable as this. I want to be a Psammead again but I don't know how to or it'll never happen and I'll be stuck like this forever!
I know the others like me as a human but I'm not happy." he told her. She smiled as she left.
She then remembered that Carley knew he wasn't happy as a human and was trying to help.
He then sighed as he lay on his bed. He then began to feel sad as tears fell from his eyes. Leah heard that and wondered what was wrong. She then listened as Elisa explained everything to her. She understood.
"Of course we like him like this but to tell you the truth, I miss him being a Psammead. I know David wouldn't like that but Carley misses him too as a Psammead.
He should've told us sooner." Leah answered her.
She smiled sadly as Elisa went back to sleep snuggling near her. She then went into Izz's room and found him curled up on the bed in a ball. His eyes had red rims around his kind eyes.
"Sorry if I woke.... you.
Please go back to sleep.
Don't worry about me." he replied darkly as she saw his fingers had bite marks on them. She knew he needed time alone to feel better like when his parents died.
"Okay but you know that Psammead or not, we still care about you.
It's what friends do for each other.
Don't forget, okay?" she said softly as she left the room.
He thought about what she said as his eyes closed.......
Elisa saw worry in Leah's hazel eyes as she came back into the room. There was concern and worry in them.
"Will he be okay?
Did he talk?" she asked softly.
"Yeah but he's worse, depressed way more than after his parents died.
I'm very worried about him." she told her climbing into bed.
"Maybe we should..... go to Aria. Maybe Jen or Skye can help us. There has to be a way to get him back to normal because if he doesn't, he might get worse." she told her.
"Yes.
That's a good idea Elisa.
Maybe there's something there that can help." she thought falling asleep.....
