She was keep saying pushing and hitting Steve on his chest crying. Steve was stared at her terrified.

-STOP TOUCHING ME
She was hitting him harder and harder and Steve takes her in his arms hugging her while she was keep trying to hit him.
After a while she stopped hitting him and she grabs his back tightlier than ever, letting herself break down in tears.

-AM TIRED... OF EVERYONE.., TRYING.. trying to touch me...
She said with her voice shaking and Steve was letting her keep crying with her head next to his.
While Hayley was crying hugging Steve, Hayley's dad came close to the door without any of them seeing them and he saw them hugging.
