Shonnalen fell silent and stuck her bottom lip out in a pretend pout. "But ... But ..." She smiled. "Alright, but wake me up in a hour would you?"

"Cool. Is there anything to eat ... I'm hungery." Brendon said as he headed for the stares.

Bret nodded and then covered her up. " sure will." he walked out and turned out the light.

Trudy nodded. " mmhm...but.." she said before he ran off. <i> why is he acting this way...</i> she looked curious.....<i> maybe he doesnt like me back</i> " well we'll just have to see about that. she said as she followed him.

Shonnalen watched Bret leave, then drifted into a restless sleep.

Brendon headed down to the kitchen, his stomach grumbleing. He haddn't eaten since the night before. Wonder what we got ... He thought as he peeked into the cabnets.

Trudy sat down at a table while he searched. she yawned it was getting dark. it didnt look like the electricity was working today the only light there was, was the light coming through the natural light windows in the high ceiling above their heads.
she sighed.

Shonnalen dreamed about Mark. You promised you wern't going to leave me... You promised. She sat up shaking. "You promised ..." She wispered, then got up. Bret must have forgotten to wake her. She pulled a heaver jacket from the rack and yanked the tags off of it without a second thought.

Brndon found the canned items that Shonnalen had brought earlier and decided on a can of ravioli. "Well ... it's better then those energy bars ... whant some?" He asked offering the can to Trudy.

Shonnalen stepped out of her room the nre jacket drapped over her arm.

Trudy nodded. " yeah." she was reminded by her growling stomach that she was still hungry.
Trudy looked over and saw Shonnalen standing there. " hey, thanks for the food." she smiled.

Shonnalen nodded barely hearing what Trudy said. You promised ... You promised .... Her mind repeted over and over again. She felt like crying but would not do so where anyone could see her for many different reasons. Even Brendon had never seen her cry. She walked toward the stares, then headed for the roof.

_________________

Bret had been sitting on the roof since he put Shonnalen to bed. he sat there thinking, shivering and enduring the cold. he turned when he heard footsteps. " Shonna? what are you doing out of bed?" he said standing up.

Shonnalen looked up for a moment mistaking Bret for Mark. "Mark ..." She said before stopping short realiseing what she had done. Tears filled her eyes unbidded at this sudden reminder and she turned back toward the stares.

Bret looked down. and then went after her, " shonna." he said running after her. " come back please." he said.

Shonnalen stopped and her back still to Bret. She quickly dried her face hoping he haddn't noticed and turned to face him. "I'm sorry ... I didn't know you were up here ... I had a nightmare and was just going to get some fresh air to clear my head."

Bret walked up to her. " mark?" he asked wondering who this mark guy was. he stood there looking at her blood shot eyes. " did he hurt you?" he asked wondering why she had been crying.

"No ... He never hurt me." She looked away from him, her mind replaying memoies of happy days before Mark had become sick.

Shonna's head came up and her attention snapped back to reality when he asked why she was crying. "I do not cry... for any reason." She turned and walked down the stairs.

Brendon had finished his ravioli and had gone to check on his sister. He heard Bret ask about Mark, then quickly stepped back as she brushed past him.
