We walked silently out of the auditorium, and over to the teacher's dorm. Four of us waited on the long, black leather couch they held in the lounge area. Zoey went into Neferet's study by herself, leaving us alone.
A couple hours later, Zoey returned, puffy-eyed and tired. "Let's go to bed," she said softly, and lead the way out of the dorm.
I walked the girls to their dorm, and hugged them all good-bye. "Be safe," I called after them, as they walked into the dorm.
I shoved my hands in my pockets, and walked slowly to the boy's dormitories. The day kept replaying in my head, as though it were a movie. It was like I wasn't actually there, experiencing it, but more like I was just a spectator. I shook my head, and pulled my jacket tighter as the temperature dropped a bit more.
The dorm was quiet, except for the television that was running in the living room area. I went in there quietly, figuring out who was still up.
Jack was asleep, softly snoring, with remote in hand. I giggled a bit, and shook him. "Jack? Jack, sweetheart, you're asleep. On a couch. Wake up," I cooed gently.
"Huh," he looked up at, sleepiness in his blue eyes.
"Come on, let's get you to bed." I tugged on his arm, pulling him off the couch. "It's real late. Everybody else is asleep. Let's go join them," I whispered into him ear.
"Can I stay in your room? I don't wanna sleep alone," he said sleepily.
I nodded, "Yes you can." I took him up the stairs gently, and opened the door for him. I lead him to my bed and placed him on it. "I'll see you in the morning," I said softly before kissing him on the forehead.
I turned, about to go sleep on the couch. "No," Jack whispered, grabbing my hand. "Stay in here."
I sighed and looked at him. "Oh, all right," I whispered, and took my jeans off.
I crawled in beside Jack and put an arm around him. Jack snuggled up onto my chest, and put an arm around my torso.
"Goodnight, Jack," I whispered before kissing his head.
"Goodnight, Damien," Jack said, and kissed my chest.
