Pretty soon, Paul got tired of just sitting in his bedroom. He decided to go for a walk through the neighborhood. He went up the 丘, ヒル that overlooked the neighborhood. It was where he liked to go if he felt the need to cry. It was a place he could cry where no one would hear him. He often cried because he felt as if he had ロスト his best friend. He missed the days when he and Hank were close. Paul used to could confide in Hank without judgment, and now, Hank would accuse him of being "too emotional" and "weak". Hank's new フレンズ were such jerks. Paul's フレンズ were all right, but they didn't understand his situation. They either didn't have siblings, were still close with their siblings, または were never close with their siblings. His mother was no help either. He once told her that he still loved Hank and couldn't understand why Hank didn't 愛 him anymore. His mother told him, "Of course Hank still loves you. He's just hiding from his insecurities." It sure didn't feel like love. As a result, Paul felt alone. He cried for an 時 または two. He then dried his tears and walked back ホーム so that his family wouldn't know he had been crying. That evening, Paul was very quiet at dinner. His mother asked him, "Are あなた all right, dear?" He said, "I'm fine." She said, "Are あなた sure? You've hardly touched your food." He said, "I'm just having trouble with my new song." She said, "Don't worry. I'm sure it'll come to you." He said, "I know." She then said, "I'm sure with a good night's sleep, it'll come to あなた again." He said, "Yeah, but school starts tomorrow." She said, "You can work on it after school, then." He said, "Yes, mother." That night, Paul struggled to fall asleep. He was dreading what might happen tomorrow. Hank never joined in with his フレンズ when they'd bully Paul, but he never stopped them. Eventually, Paul drifted off to an uneasy sleep.
After Everett received his discharge papers and his crutches, Una asked him, "Are あなた hungry?" He said, "Yes, very." She said, "Okay. We'll get something to eat, then I'll take あなた home." After they ate ディナー at a burger joint, they went back to Everett's apartment. Una decided to stay with Everett so that she could help him with whatever he needed. Mrs. Stratton approved of Una's decision. Everett's knee healed in a few days. After that, he and Una decided that they would start planning their wedding. It is a 日 that they are both looking フォワード, 前進, 楽しみにして to.
