Day 9

The Two Princesses By: Angel Ward page 5

“Could you lead tonight Angel” Lisa asked with a smile. “I’d love to” I replied, taking her hand and bowing my head. When we ended our prayer. Lisa looked up and said “Angel you look totally drained.” “I’m tired but I don’t know about totally drained.” I said smiling weakly at her. Later I went to the restroom to wash my hands and while I was drying them. I looked in the mirror over the sink. I looked awful my eyes had dark circles under them. Lisa was right “totally drained” would fit me right now. My body was going in to crash mode. “I don’t think I should go home in this condition,” I said to myself as headed back to Lisa’s room. I went back into her room and sat by the bed. I was thinking about how to tell Lisa that I’d decided to stay after all. While I was thinking Lisa looked up and said. “Angel you look awful I insist you stay here tonight” “Funny you should say that Lisa, because I was just trying to think of a way to say I’d decided to stay” I said as I unzipped my backpack. I got my pillow and quilt out and made myself comfortable near Lisa’s bed. Just before we fell asleep Lisa whispered “ I love you Angel.” “ l love you too Lisa” I replied smiling sleepily. We both slept peacefully and didn’t wake up until the nurse came in the next morning.
