'I will find him.
No matter where he goes.
No matter who he disguises himself to be.
I will find him.'
Sky opened his eyes and sat bolt upright. He was panting, sweat dripping from his brow. His hands flew to his face, covering his mouth. Jumping out of his bed he ran to the bathroom. Dry heaving echoed through the house. Sky looked up at himself in the mirror. He looked terrible. Sweat clung to his face, his hair was a mess, and to top it all off he had blood dripping from his mouth. 'Wait', he thought. He quickly looked down and was horrified to find blood in the sink. He felt his knees give way and his body fell to the floor. He heard the door open, a shout of his name and someone kneeling down to take his head in their hands. He opened his eyes and looked up into Ty's eyes. The eyes he had known for years, clouded with worry and concern. How badly he wanted those eyes to show happiness and love instead of negative emotions. He struggled to sit up, Ty helped a little bit and together Sky was back in his bedroom in no time. Sky's eyes watched the floor as Ty walked away to get Seto and a first aid kit.
After Ty and Seto had returned along with a disgruntled, yet worried Husky. When Seto had found nothing wrong with Sky, both he and Husky returned to their respective rooms to get back to sleep. Ty stayed with Sky for a while, but when Sky heard the muffled yawns that Ty was trying to conceal he made Ty go back to his room to get some sleep. They said goodnight to each other as Ty left Sky's room for his own.
Sky leaned back into his pillows. He looked out at the rising sun and thought about how their lives had all been such a mess this past week. Ty was a shadow of his former self, somewhat the same, but still. Mitch had been a fountain of tears, and Jerome had been mostly silent or absent. Seto and Tyler were both so tired and sleep deprived. Jason and himself were trying to keep it together, but they were failing miserably. And Brice, poor Brice, had been so reserved the past week, it was like he was fading away. Thinking about all this hurt Sky, he could feel his heart constricting with sadness. Tears falling down his cheeks as he looked at the sky outside. Orange to pink to blue. He smiled, tears still falling but slower now. And he made a promise. A promise not to cry anymore. A promise to be strong, for himself and all his friends. A promise that he wouldn't let them all drown in their sorrow, that he would keep their heads above the waters. A promise that he would keep till his death. A promise for his friends, for himself, but most importantly. A promise to Ty.
