C H A P T E R 41 - Sam.

I was laying in bed at the moment, trying to build up the courage to get up, but I just couldn't bring myself to do it. I felt like I hadn't gotten enough rest last night, which didn't make sense, because I had gone to sleep early in order to counter the fact that I had had such a late evening the previous night. But, I was now being forced to acknowledge the fact that that might have been a waste of time. I might have gotten enough sleep but I didn't feel rested at all. I felt like anyone who saw me today would be able to see that for themselves.

"If you lay in bed any longer, you're going to be late."

I turned towards the door and found that Gwen was standing in the doorway. I didn't need to ask to know that she was waiting for me. Elijah had already given me a breakdown yesterday and explained to me that Gwen would take me to school - but that was also all that she would do. Once she was gone, I was going to be on my own, and I was practically going to be thrown into the deep end.
