Finally, at nearly three in the morning, I was listening to Jessie’s soft snores. My back to the wall as I sat on the bed, Jessie’s head was resting in my lap while I ran my fingers through his hair. Prior to around two, he’d been a ball of nerves—totally inconsolable as he paced the bedroom in a nervous trance. Avery had to physically sit him down and talk him through a hypothetical scenario that had both Jessie and I coming out decently on the other side of this nightmare.

Watching him sleep I couldn’t help but associate him with his adolescence. True he was a man and I would respect him as such, but his innocence was so blatantly displayed in all his actions. He’d been hurt—his pain was something I connected to; but he hadn’t been scarred the same way I had. My armor was my recognition of my pain and what caused it. It was a sweet callus that I would use to assure both Jessie and I would be okay…but mostly him. I had to make sure he came out of this okay.

“Is he out?” Avery’s whispering voice trickled in through the slightly opened door.

“Yes. Thank you so much for everything, Avery.”

“Don’t mention it, Kacey. That’s a good boy right there. We gotta take care of him.”

“I’m glad we’re on the same page there, Avery.”

“I’ll be here all day tomorrow. The three of us can sit down and start thinking of ways we might be able to dig you two out of this. Maybe I can actually get the lights back on.”

“Even if you get them back on I don’t want Jessie to watch the news…and I don’t want you telling Jessie any details you learn from this point on. Just keep me in the loop and I’ll tell him if needed.”

“Sounds good. My damned ol’ internet still ain’t working on my phone so I’m just as out of this loop thing as you.”

“Good night, Avery.”

“Night, Kacey.”

As he closed the door I looked once more to Jessie. I wasn’t necessarily comfortable in the position I was in, but he looked completely relaxed—finally. I didn’t want to move him. Resting my head against the wood-paneled wall, I closed my eyes and attempted to silence the day from my mind.
