Chapter 17
Austin wakes to find Tim sitting in the living area scrolling through his phone.
"What ya doin", he asks causing Tim to jump.
"Jesus Austin, scare the hell out of me why don't ya."
"Sorry , he smirks slightly.
Tim couldn't sleep and was researching web information on what Chance had shared with him, but he had no intention of letting Austin know why, he still feels that needs to be shared by Chance, if and when he's ready.
Tim asks him why he's up to which he responds he needed to use the bathroom and saw him sitting there.
"Tim, have you spoken to Chance about his behavior these past few months. I'm thinking of saying something, not to pry, just to let him know I want to help him with anything I can".
Tim hesitates at first, "Austin, I found him sitting outside the bus the night before we left so I figured it was as good a time as any to ask him what's going on. We had a long talk. He knows you're concerned and that we all will help him anyway we can. For now though, per his request, I can't get into it. I can tell you he does not have a drug problem."
Austin nods, "I'm good with that. I'm glad you finally said something to him. At least now he knows he can rely on someone". Austin yawns and says he's heading back to bed. Tim says he's heading back himself in a few minutes. He takes one more look at his phone and feels he now has a little bit better understanding of what Chance shared with him.
