*Collins pov*

Shit, what's going on

I get up and run over to Sloane and squat down next to her

"Hey hey hey, everything's okay, it's fine Sloane, everything's alright" I say and rub her back

She continues crying but leans on me, she finally calmed down to say something to me

"I- don't under- stand why- he would- do some- thing like- that" she says, pauses after every couple words for a gasps of air

"Me neither, some people are just like that though" I say and lean my head on hers while rubbing her back

We talk for a couple more minutes before somehow we fall asleep just like that

*Jaydens pov*

Why do I have so much mail

This is so stupid, I'm gonna throw these aw- wait that's not my name

I pull out the envelope and it says Collins name on it, I guess I'll go give it to him

I walk over to his room and enter the passcode

"032713" I say as I type it out

I get the key and try to open the door but something's blocking it

I manage to squeeze through the little crack and get into their room

"Collins" I say and look around

I turn around to see what was blocking the door and I see both Sloane and Collins on the floor

Sloane has her head leaning on Collins shoulder and Collins head is leaning on Sloanes head and they are both asleep

Sloanes face is stained with tear streaks and I'm wondering what happened

I set the mail on Collins bed and leave the room quietly

*Collins pov*

I wake up and pick up Sloane

I set her down on her bed and walk over to my bed and see a piece of mail on it

How did that get there? I ask myself

I pick it up and it has my name on it, no return address

Hey Collins, it's Coach Rico from the lacrosse team, I've seen how athletic you are and I was wondering if you would be willing to try out. We have a open tryout tonight at 6:30pm, I'd appreciate if you would come. The address is 109 Willow Western Street, on the right. Next to Plato's Pizza.

Thank you,
Coach Rico

Something's not right with this letter, I can't think of it though

"Collins?" Sloane says

I turn my full attention to her and ask what

"Can you run to the store for me? I have a terrible headache" she says

"Yeah for sure, do you want to come with or stay?" I ask

"Uhm, I'll come" she says

"Alright, cmon" I say and hop out of my bed

She slowly gets up and pauses and then walks slowly

"Are you sure your okay?" I ask

She nods and we continue walking across campus into the parking lot

I'm parked kinda far back so we're walking but she slows down even more, I stop to make sure she's okay and she falls backwards

I catch her and pick her up and go back into the school and into the nurses office

I bring her in and the nurse immediately says, "Vasovagal syncope"

I give her a confused look and she says what it is and then tells me to lay Sloane on the cot

I lay her on the cot and I think about the letter I got when it finally comes to me why that letter was weird

We don't have a lacrosse team.
