So I just got back...

From Adam's (a friend of mine). I felt bad for staying at his last night, but I'm no good to anyone if I'm completely exhausted. The result of staying there was that I had an hour or two more sleep than normal, so I guess it worked (though I'm not really sure why). But I left early this morning, (it's about 10:30am here at the time of writing) as much for his safety as my sanity.

First thing I did when I got back was make sure my sister was okay.

She was. Thank God.

The second thing I did was get on this laptop and make sure people were still alive.

Anyway, while I was at Adam's I told him that I'd be leaving soon. I didn't tell him why, I just said some shit about wanting to make something of myself and this was the only way to do it...
He laughed at first, and just turned on the t.v. It was only after about a two minutes or so that he saw I wasn't kidding and decided to clarify that with a "You're not kidding are you?"

I shook my head and he sat up, serious now.
He didn't understand, I could see it in his eyes.

But he knows me well enough to know that once I've decided to do something, It's pretty difficult to stop me from doing it. I can be a stubborn bastard at the best of times.

He asked me what I would do, where I would I go. I just shrugged, and walked over to the window in his living room, to check that Mr. Slim wasn't outside watching...

I sighed, He wasn't out there. But the fact that I looked to 'make sure' was just another fucking reminder that I had to leave soon.

Adam does know about The Slender Man. (There, I said it).
He's watched a lot of the Youtube videos, and I even showed him Zeke's blog (Seeking Truth) a while back...
From what I remember he enjoyed the videos, but didn't really read the blog. He's never been much of a reader to be fair.

For the rest of the afternoon, before I went to try and catch some sleep, he was more or less trying to talk me out of it while at the same time trying to understand why I thought I had to go. He just wouldn't shut up.
Which is actually a reason I retired early... I don't like lying to the guy. But I really don't want him to get him involved with this.

...I'm not ready to leave yet.
But when I do I'm going to miss Adam. He's one of the very few friends that I have.

And I suppose that just makes it more important that get I out of here soon.
