Ashlyn's POV

I squeezed Big Red's hand. "Babe..."

"I'm coming, Ashlyn. I've got you." He hugged me tightly.

"I don't know what I'm supposed to say." I mumbled. "He's just so awful..."

"I know love."

"N- now?"

"If you can." He gave me a sad smile. "Don't worry too much."

"But..."

"Ash, I know, I really now." He said. I didn't fully believe him, but nodded.

"Let's go."

"I'll be right there." He squeezed my hand.

"Thank you." I took a deep breath and started walking, looking for where Jackson usually tended to be before class. "I, Biggie..."

"Ash." He kissed my forehead as we walked. "We don't both need to be worried."

"Then you don't be."

"That's not the point." He sighed. "Look, there he is."

"I..."

"Baby, look at me." He brushed the hair out of my face. "We can just tell someone."

"I don't know..."

"But either way, you've got this. Don't doubt it."

"Thanks." I nodded a little.

"What do you wanna do?" He gave me a small side hug.

"Talk to him." I managed.

"Okay."

Maybe I really should have told someone.
