It had been a few days since the pack meeting and no one had come up with anything. It was getting worse in multiple ways.

The scents got stronger. There was more crashes in the house. Harlow became more and more in danger. Scott didn't know what to do. He was struggling to keep up in his classes. He was panicking about what to do. Theo became more distant from everyone. He had seen his parents but he didn't stay for very long. He even became distant with Liam and harlow.

Bea could control her abilities more but they also became stronger. Ethan had the feeling his brother was getting stronger. And it was very unnerving for the pack.

And Nolan left the house and went to school less and less. His mom couldn't help. Liam couldn't help. Even Gabe couldn't help him. No one knew about their relationship even Nolan's mother Becky. They kept it quiet. But he was beginning to think he should do something else. Maybe find something else to help him.

Nolan had panic attacks more often. On the few good days he had he did go to school. But he was distant. And didn't talk to anyone. Gabe became more and more anxious by the day. He couldn't help and it broke him. To see the boy he loves in so much pain.

Today was one of Nolan's bad days. He barely even left his room. So Gabe decided to go over to Liams to talk. He knocked on the door and Theo opened it.
"Gabe, come in. What's the problem." They walked to the living room where Liam and Harlow sat watching tv.
"It's Nolan. After the pack meeting last week Jonah called us from the park on our way home. Luca and his friends overwhelmed Nolan. And ever since then, he's been having good and bad days. Today he won't even leave his room. And... I don't know how to help him." Gabes voice broke as tears fret to fall.

"Some nights he doesn't even sleep. Some nights he wakes up screaming. It's impossible to tell if it's a good or bad day sometimes. Sometimes it changes half way through." Just then he got a text. It was from Nolan.

Nol<3
Where are you?

Me
At Liams. I'll be home soon.
How are you?

Nol<3
I feel better. When you get back can we just go on a walk or something?

Me
Of course. I'll see you soon

Nol<3
Okay, I love you.

Me
I love you too

"I've got to go soon, Nolan's feeling better now. But I just don't know how to help on the bad days." Liam felt sorry for the boy in front of him. So he gave the only advice he could think of.
"Just spend time with him. Make him feel human. It will help. Even if the progress is slow." Gabe nodded and thanked them before heading back out then home.

"NOL, I'm home." Nolan came round the corner from the kitchen.
"Hey." He smiled and hugged the older boy. Today was apparently one of his best days. They headed out immediately to make the most out of Nolan's good moment. They went towards the woods.

They just wandered around. Nolan stopped in front of the park. The memories flooding back. Luca and his friends were also there. They had just noticed the presence of Nolan when Gabe started to pull him away.
"HOLLOWAY"
"Come on. I know just where to go." Gabe said to the younger blond boy.

Gabe grabbed Nolan's hand pulling him away from the park away from Luca and his friends.
"The park.... Somethings there."
"We can come back later when they are gone. But for now let's just go relax." They continued walking towards the woods. Just moving slowly. Then they reached the peak.
