(Alright will do!)

Brad felt empty. He wasn’t sure how to respond. So he didn’t. His voice wasn’t going to be useful anyways, it would just crack and then he’d feel stupid.

She crossed her arms over her chest with a sigh She felt so alone

Brad took in a deep breath and nodded. "Can I come back, talk to you then? My head is whirling, and I can't think straight." He mumbled looking to her.

"Just Go Brad" She said turning away

He knew there was no point trying to reason with her, so he got up and left. 'What is going on with her?'

Caroline broke down, falling on her knees and sobbing.

Brad had walked fully off, and was already back in the English classroom. He knew he needed to straighten things out with her, but she wasn't on the mood. And frankly, neither was he.

Caroline sighed her face red and her eyes bloodshot as more tears rolled down her cheeks she walked into the hallway only to run into Collins

Collins looked like a wreck, his normally bright green eyes looked dull, and his skin had a grey tint to it. “Hey- what’s wrong Caroline?”

She sighed " my dad's cheating on my mom and she doesn't even know"

"Have you talked to either of them?" Collins asked surprised at her suddenness to talk to him. He hadn't expected her to so quickly, everyone always brushed him off.

" there not in town I don't know what to do I'm scared Collins I can't talk to Brad…for reasons" she said

"Like what kind? And what about your other guy friend, Gavin wasn't it?" He asked, not sure what to do with this situation. He was never good with talking to girls. Especially this girl, she was different.

" Look haven't told anyone but you Collins and I just really need someone anyone right now" she said with a sniffle

"Hey, come here." He said holding his arms out for her. "I'm sorry, I just am not good with emotional support."

Caroline collapsed in his arms sobbing into his shoulder shaking uncontrollably

( Make Brad see them and confront them?)

((I thought he was at class though? But I mean I guess he could see them, maybe, and just kinda cringe and walk away from his attempt apology to Caroline?))

"Shhh, hey, it's OK Caroline." He said softly, his tone soft and calming. He rubbed circles on her back, trying to calm her down. "I know you're upset, but none of this is your fault, it can't be."

( how about he sees them at lunch)
" Maybe it is I'm a horrible daughter and clearly a horrible friend" she said

(Yeah that could work,)

"Hey, no you aren't. You're stressed, it's normal, but don't say things like that." He whispered nuzzling his nose into her hair.

She sighed but nodded " I'm sorry I don't mean to be such a burden" she said.

"No! You- you're not a burden!" He said quickly looking at her.

She was about to argue when the bell rang" I'm late" she said

"Late? Late for what?" He asked, still a little frazzled. Her suddenness wasn't helping his case either.

"class the bell just rang" she said.

Mrs Evans had started class but Caroline was no where to be seen.

Collins nodded, hugging her one last time. "Sit with me at lunch?" He asked her softly, his eyes gleaming with hope.

Brad bit his lip nervously, tapping his foot. 'Where is she!?'
