"Do you need anything?" she asked quietly.

"Kate.", he said sadly. "I didn't mean to shut you out, but I didn't want you to see my cry." August looked up, revealing that he too had been crying.

"I wouldn't judge you, and I'm not going to hassle you. I just wanted to see how you were doing."

"I appreciate that.", he said. "Maybe we could help out each other."

Gina nodded. "How?"

He took a step closer. "Sometimes we need other people to help us get through our pain. I'll be your friend if you let me."

She nodded again. "I miss her," she whispered tearfully.

"Me too. What am I going to do now?", August asked as he sniffed.

"I don't know," she admitted. "For now, we just hope for the best."

August thought about that for a moment. "Hope that they find her?"

Gina nodded. "Yeah."

(timeskip?)
"I'll have to hang on to that.", he said thoughtfully.

3 months later, after no leads, Kate returned, standing at her bus stop, her gaze blank.

August couldn't believe his eyes. "Kate!",he screamed. "Kate!" He ran as fast as he could to her.

She looked over to where he was. Her rich blue-green eyes were now a pale shade of grey. "Who are you?" she asked in a monotone voice.

"Very funny Kate! I'm so glad to see you!" He reached over to hug her.

She took a sharp step back. "I don't know you."

"Kate, please! I was worried that you were dead! I thought I'd never see you again!", he said in a sharp tone of voice. "I'm being serious."

She looked at him skeptically. "Who are you?" she asked again.

"Kate! I'm August! What's wrong with you?!" He was getting upset now and people were beginning to look at them.

She shook her head. "I don't know anyone named August. Isn't it a little weird to be named after a month?"

"I'm worried about you. Are you feeling okay? Please stop joking around, okay?" August looked concerned.

The bus arrived. "I feel well," she replied and got on, sitting down in an empty seat and looking straight ahead.
