About That… 26A

17:27. Raina, Tom and Tate were in the kitchen staring at the food free, cook free room. Tate turned around and faced Tom. "Go wake him." Nearly three hours later and Sawyer still hadn't come out of his room.

"You go wake him. Last time I tried, he came out and shoved me so hard I almost fell over the banister. I don't want that to happen again." He was thirteen.

"There's no banister here." Raina pointed out folding her arms.

"Yeah. Plus-"

"You've woken him up before. Why don't you do it?" Tom interrupted Tate to ask Raina. They needed him awake so they could figure something out.

"She's the reason he won't come out remember?"

"Yeah. But you can whisper in his ear or something. Like you probably use to." He waved his hand.

She glared at him. "Does Abby whisper in your ear to wake you up?"

Tom smiled, proud of what he was about to say. "I do the whispering actually."
