The Wolf In Me

I felt like I had woken up from a whole night of boxing against Floyd Mayweather. My body felt all bruised. I could barely touch my chest and not feel pain. I sat down on the bedside of Mei's bed rubbing my still closed eyes. Trying to wake up I opened my eyes wide to stretch them for a few seconds and then relaxed my face again.

Last night before we went to bed Mei grabbed one of Jake's pyjamas for me.

"You can sleep in my bed tonight. I need to know that you are doing fine," she said whilst watching me change.

I smiled at her as I put on the v neck shirt slowly over my head.

"I'm fine," I lied to her, but I was the kind of person that wanted to feel in control all the time.

I laid on the bed under the covers and Mei followed me in. I looked out of the skylight gazing at the bright stars in the sky as I always loved to watch them quietly whilst they gleam softly and listen to my father's voice in my head. He always had a way with wording. I could never forget those father and son moments we used to have.

My eyes closed and I could feel Mei shift her head over mine.

"What are you thinking?" She asked, realizing she could sense my feelings.

I opened my eyes slowly, still maintaining my face straight at the ceiling for a while longer, then I turned my eyes towards her.

"Well, since you are asking, I am dwelling on the past," I started. "Look at the sky above. Do you see that star over there?"

I turned to look out of the skylight as I pointed at the stars.

"It reminds me of my old man. He was wise and strong and he always had a good sense of speech. I miss his wisdom and his way of making me feel like I was his special son. I mean, I was his only one after my sister passed away, so, I guess I was special to him. I feel like those stars are my father and extended family looking down over me," I explained with a soft tone.

I breathed in and out feeling a sense of peacefulness now that I have illustrated my thoughts and feelings to her.

"So, how old was she when she...?" Mei looked into my eyes, but stopped her question half way.

I sighed, feeling like I had an answer, but it was not the right one. Like something was blocking the truth from me. So all I did was shrug my shoulders.
