Camron was worried about Travis. He didn’t look good and was getting worse and worse as the day went on. He watched him bring the blankets out and drape them over the four-wheeler, but he was moving slowly and his skin was a sickly white. Camron hoped his drinking problem wasn’t more advanced than he’d thought. If so, they would need to get back down the mountain so the doctor could check him for withdrawal symptoms. If the stubborn little shit kept refusing the sedative, Camron would just have to find a way to force it down him for his own good.

Camron finished chopping the wood that they’d need and gathered up an armload to take it into the cabin. He put some of it in the old stove, getting it ready for them to light if it started to get cold in there, which it probably would after dark.

“Do you want to walk down to the creek, Travis?”

“No, not right now. Maybe I could take a nap.” His attitude seemed to be different in just the short time since he’d talked to him last. Sitting at the table, he looked half-asleep. He was subdued and couldn’t seem to get his eyes open all the way. Concerned, Camron went over to him and massaged the back of his neck. Travis arched up into his touch like the little kitten he’d called him earlier, and Camron couldn’t stop himself from dropping a kiss on the top of his head.

“Let me inflate the bed.” He found the pump at the bottom of the cedar chest and made quick work of preparing the bed. Once Camron finished and arranged it in a corner of the room, he went out to get the blankets for Travis to lie on. When he’d fixed the bed he called over to Travis.

“It’s ready. Go ahead and lie down. Maybe you’ll feel better if you take a nap.”

“Okay,” he said and came over to lie on top of it, pulling the blanket over him with a little shiver. Camron stood looking down at him for a minute before going back out to finish stacking his wood. He was sweaty when he got done and decided to walk to the creek to wash off a bit. All of that took only about a half hour or so, but he felt refreshed and ready to face Travis again as he walked back to the cabin.

Travis was asleep, though restless and mumbling. He seemed to be having a nightmare and was thrashing his arms around. He suddenly sat straight up and opened his eyes. Camron could see that he was disoriented.

“How do you feel, Travis?”

“Bad.” He looked up at Camron with his eyes dark and smudged looking. “I-I think I’m going to need one of those pills, after all, Camron.”

Thank God. “Okay, let me get you one and some water.” Camron found the pills and knelt beside Travis, who raised himself up on one elbow and opened his mouth, waiting trustingly. Camron shook his head and put the pill on his tongue.
