I did not know how long I cried. All I know is that it seemed like I got the respite from guilt that I needed.
I am eternally grateful to whoever was the mastermind of this little house. It gave me a private space where I can express the loneliness that I sometimes feel.
I am safe here. That thought helped to lull me into a much needed sleep.
I felt someone come into the house but I ignored it thinking that it was just a dream. Then that person laid beside me, took me in his arms and started running their fingers through my hair.
"There you are."
I smiled in my sleep when I heard Ed's voice. I think I know who this little house was from.
"How did you know where to find me?"
"I heard Bry mention about you needing to come here this weekend."
"Hmmm."
"Sleep. You need it. I'll be right here when you wake up."
"Can you wake me up after thirty minutes?"
"Why?"
"Mom and dad might look for me."
