"Don't be."
"Don't be."
“But—“ Vera gave up.
"Shh." Tay held a finger to Vera's lips, "Now, tell me what's wrong. The truth."
Vera’s cheeks flushed pink. She swallowed. “A lot of things.”, she said quietly.
(And not just the Bridge thing…)
"All of them." Tay held onto her hands. "It's better to let things out, y'know?"
Vera’s eyes darted down to their entwined hands. I shouldn’t be doing this… “My mom died a few months ago, my and my sister and I went to an orphanage. She was adopted, I wasn’t.” Vera’s eyes gloated with sadness. “My mom was—- amazing. But…. she died giving birth to what was going to be my baby sister. The baby died too, and—-“ she swallowed. “I watched the whole thing.”
(There’s a lot that makes the Tay thing more painful)
Tay nodded, "I could never understand your pain."
Vera looked away. “I should stop.”
"Whatever you want, Vera."
“I— I’msupposedtostayawayfromyouorelseshe’lltakeyoutocourt.”
"What?" Tay asked, confused.
Crap. “I’m not supposed to be near you.” As much as it pained her, she gently withdrew her hands.
Tay drew in a breath, "Why not?"
Her gaze flickered to Bridge. “Someone threatened me.”
"Who?" Tay asked, completely oblivious to Vera's glance at Bridge.
Vera hesitated. “They want me to stay away from you.” She evaded the question.
Tay raised an eyebrow, "Who's they?"
He had her cornered. “Um…… that’s why I ran from the cafeteria yesterday, that’s why I moved away earlier on.” She avoided the question once more.
"And, who did that?" Tay was getting frustrated, "If you don't tell me, I'll-I'll kiss you in front of everyone here!"
(Damn son)
This made Vera stop. Please do Id like tha— she cut the thought off. “Bridge.”, she said, defeated.
"Bridge?" Tay creased his eyebrows, "Bridge?"
Vera nodded.
"Woah. Bridge. What'd she say to you?"
“Remember the arcade? She saw.”
Tay cocked his head, "So?"
