Chapter 19: Chapter 19 Leroy.

The door opens and I glance up, feeling incredibly sleep deprived. I don't know how many hours I've sat here, beside Leroy, unblinking. Tobias takes one look at me and rushes towards me, pulling me into him. I cling onto him tightly, tears pooling up in my eyes.

"Thank you, thank you so much for being here." I whisper, squeezing my eyes shut tightly. His scent calms me down and his hand rubs soothing circular motions on my back.

"I feel so guilty Tobias, it's my fault." I sniffle. He pulls back, his eyebrows creased together heavily. I search his eyes, expecting to see judgement clouding them but just as always, there's not a trace of any.
