Chapter
sixteen: Guilt Arrives:
2-D and Reese stayed in L.A. for two more weeks. But soon, 2-D fell
homesick.
Along with this homesickness came the guilt of deciding to stay instead
of going home. The cloud grew heavier each day.
If someone asked him what was wrong, 2-D would say he was all right.
But
Reese could see through him and she knew was wrong.
“We can go back to London when you like.” she kept saying to 2-D. “No!”
he’d say. “I want to stay here!” Reese would reluctantly agree. “We
can’t here any longer!” she thought.
As the days dragged on, the cloud grew bigger and darker. Why did he
choose
to stay when he could have gone home? Depression, guilt, and regard
followed
2-D around. Reese became worried. “We can’t stay here!” she
thought.
