CHAPTER THIRTY FOUR

~JUSTIN AND KAHLAN~

I woke up to the sound of running water from above my head. It was really hard for me to open my eyes, they stung and felt so heavy, but somehow I did. I looked to the right and saw that the sun was about gone, and the moon would soon be up in the sky. I knew I didn’t lie down by myself, but I sure did wake up alone. The living room light was dimmed and the other surrounding areas were in darkness. I could only make out the outline of furniture and objects. I climbed to my feet and stretched.

“Justin?” I said softly, feeling a bit scared to leave the light, but I did. I made my way upstairs, following the water sounds. I entered the bathroom in my bedroom, where I saw Justin dipping his hands into a halfway full tub, with plenty of bubbles and red Candles that I never use. They were a gift from Angie. It was one of the last things she had gotten me. “Justin?” His head quickly turned to face me.

“You’re up.” he said, climbing to his feet, flashing a slight smile.
