***EDEN***

We haven't left the hospital since we came here. We have been beside each other, choosing not to do or be anywhere else. We wouldn't find peace even if we decided to go to start the classes or anything. It wouldn't feel right. Not when Justus and Doug are still lying in the hospital bed. And Eve, still not found.

Nothing is the same anymore, a fact I have come to terms with. I didn't know that we would ever get to this point, so far away from home.

As I stand at the huge balcony that connects with the room that we are in, I can't help but look back at my friends. They are all asleep now, everyone so tired and sick. It might not be physical for everyone but we are all sick. I am sick. I feel it, and I know they do too. It will take some time to be ourselves again.
