Watch Over Me
by Nina LaCour
“I’ve been thinking,” I said. “You know how, that day when we were drawing, we talked about how it’s good to look at what scares us? That it makes the fear go away?”
“Yeah.”
“Maybe,” I said, taking in a breath. “Maybe the fear doesn’t ever actually go away. Maybe we have to keep on working. We thought it would be simple, but it isn’t. We thought we could be finished, but maybe... maybe we’ll never be entirely finished.”
His face crumpled in sadness. “But I want it to be over.”
“I know, Lee,” I said. I put my arm around him. “I want that too. But do you think we could ever — do you think it might be possible — to be happy anyway?”
“I can try,” he said.
“I’ll try too,” I told him.
