Dear diary.
25 June 2066
I was again sitting on my bed. My head was hanging and I was thinking of nothing but my need to get away from the island. What I never expected was for Gordon to somehow open my door. Walk in to my room and pluck me off my bed with such force that it felt like both my arms was going to break off my body. He dragged me out of the house and before I knew it he had me head over heels into the pool.
For a moment I didn't move and I tried to figure out what had him do this in the first place. Then a pair of hands had a hold of me again and I was pushed up and as soon as I broke the surface of the water I was pushed to the side. My eyes were burning from the pool water and everything was blurring out. Again someone took a hold of my hands which was still holding on for dear life at the side of the pool and pulled me up and out of the water.
My head spun and before I could even tell Gordon that I'm going to get sick I fell over and proceeded to toss my cookies. My brother had me before I could fall down into my own mess and held me close as I tried to correct myself and stop myself from shaking and my body from rejecting anything else.
I didn't even have a chance to test my now weakened legs before I was dragged back into the house and to my room. One's there my brother had pushed me into the shower and I got the shock of my life when ice cold water came raining down on me. That done I was helped out and told that I had five minutes to get dressed and that if I didn't do as I was told he would come in and dress me himself. Shocked and shivering from the cold I sat down on the ground for a moment. Jumping up again I got dressed. I most definitely didn't want to go through the embarrassment of getting dressed by one of my brothers.
Going back into my room Gordon made me sit on the bed, dragging my desk chair over he sat down on it and just looked at me. Then he lifted his hands and took my face and made me look him straight into his eyes. When he spoke it was a Gordon I didn't know but the one you would know in Wasp. His voice had a sternness to it that froze me to the spot. "You're not going to give up John. Or are you?"
He looked at me. And I knew without even seeing that his green eyes had changed. He remembered the day I had pulled him from his hole. He knew that I was one foot into my own hole, that I had something in mind that would turn everyone's life upside down. I was scared to nod my head to let him know that I was planning on giving up. I didn't want to go for another swim and cold shower.
I knew now why he had done it. I looked at him and asked. "How? How did you know?" Letting go of my face Gordon sat up straight and folding his hands in his lap said: "You had that very same look I had in the hospital John. Last night your face showed it so I knew that you'll be here."
He leaned over. Took my hands and stood up taking me with him. Pulling me close he held me and I could feel him shaking. I knew he wanted to knock me against a wall or shake me until I let go of my thoughts. Looking at him and seeing him watch me I said. "Never give up at any cost. Right?"
Crushing me to him he said. "Do me a favour John? Just hold on until we know what will happen next. Okay? I'm here for you, like you were there for me."
I smiled and messed up his hair. He didn't even try to move off. Smiling at me he jumped away and grinned. "Just hold on Johnny boy. Hold on for me." He left and I knew that he'll stay with me and walk the road with me.
