Amyntas scoots away from her, tears falling down his cheeks. He gave up. He was done. The only reason he was even there was because he was being watched.

Ariella just moved with him. She wasn't letting him get away from here. "I'm not leaving you. I'm not going anywhere."

Amyntas sighs. “Whatever…” He closes his eyes, just wishing for his pain to end.

Ariella shook her head and held him closer.

Amyntas stays ungodly stiff, just laying there in silence.

Ariella started to hum a child's lullaby.

Amyntas stays silent, staring at the wall with tears in his eyes. Why do I even exist…why do I try…? I just wanna give up…

Ariella just continued to hum quietly.

Amyntas sighs, “Why can’t I just have privacy?”

"Do you want me to answer that honestly?" She asked.

He huffs, “Yes…”

"Because I think you're going to kill yourself if I do."

Amyntas sucks in a breath.

Ariella curled more into his back, holding him closer to her chest. "And I'm not going to let that happen."

Amyntas stays quiet for a moment, “You’re sure acting clingy to a guy you just met…”

"Do you have a problem with it? Because I don't care."

Amyntas huffs, “Comes off as annoying…” ok…now he was trying a new tactic…

Ariella shrugged her shoulders. "I've been called worse."

Amyntas sucks in a breath, then mumbles. “I should have just kept my mouth shut and walked away…” damn…that hurt himself just by saying that. It was clear he was trying so hard to not cry.

Areilla sucked in a breath. "You probably should have."

A whine escapes from Amyntas’ throat. He so badly wanted to say he didn’t mean it, but all he wanted was that small chance.

"It probably would have been better. You wouldn't have to deal with me and my problems. You wouldn't be risking yours and your family's lives if my mother gets wind of this, of me. She'll kill you all just to get to me."

Amyntas turns and hugs her, sobbing.

Ariella let out a breath as he turned, hugging him back tightly.

Amyntas sobs harder, trembling.
