I watch Seth leave, feeling guilty. I follow him outside.
"Seth?"
"Spare me the lecture okay? I know I screwed up. I know I broke us," he says.
I can sense his pain. But I ask anyway.
"Are you alright?" I ask.
"No. I don't think I'll ever be okay again. I messed up and I have to live with it, to live with the pain of losing all of you," he says.
"Seth, you know you're still one of us," I say.
"But it isn't the same," he says,
"It can be. You just have to let us in," I say.
He shakes his head,
"I'll just screw up again," he says.
"We're your brothers, Darius and I. And Caleb, well, Caleb is more than that to you. But we're family. We're here when you're ready, arms open," I say.
"I'll think about it," he says.
Then he walks away.
-In the morning-
Max: Caleb's awake. They finished healing him. He'll be okay. He wants to see you.
Seth: I can't. I'm sorry.
Max: he needs you, he wants you here
Seth: please stop, I can't.
Max: we're going to King's hollow, please join us
