Seth
**Caleb has signed off**
Well shit.
Seth:
I'm sorry Cal
I call him again. He doesn't answer.
"Seth, you ok?" Max asks.
No, I'm not. I want to scream in frustration. I bury my head in my hands.
"Seth?" he asks.
"I think I screwed up again. Cal wanted to come here," I say.
"Oh, did you want that?" he asks.
"I couldn't. But now he's mad and hurt. I messed up. Again," I say.
"Seth, your feelings matter too."
"I should go see him," Seth says.
"Seth, your feelings matter. Don't go if you can't do it," he says.
"I have to Max."
"But you don't," he says.
I shake my head.
"Seth, give it a night. For yourself," he says.
"I can't Max. I have to know if he's okay. I have to tell him I'm sorry," I say.
"Let me then," he says.
"Fine. I'll be in my room," I say.
Max:
Seth wants to know if you're alright. Safe I guess? And that he's sorry
Caleb:
I'm in my room in Terra house. And I know he's sorry. I saw his message. Why are you telling me this?
Max:
It was the only way I could get him to stay in the Hollow. He wanted to go to you when you didn't answer. He was worried when you didn't answer.
Caleb:
He wanted to come to me?
Max:
Yes and it's not what's best for him right now. He's not in the right headspace.
Caleb:
Because of the breakup?
Max:
Yes and no. He didn't tell you?
Caleb:
We haven't really talked. What is it?
Max:
His mom won't let him come home because he was sitting with the Vegas. His pack shunned him too
Caleb:
Damn it. What the hell? Doesn't she know that he needs them especially now? Why would she do that? Why would his pack?
Max:
I don't know. I don't think any of them care.
Caleb:
Fuck, what can I do?
Max:
hold on, he just called for me
"What's up bud?" Max asks.
"I-I need cuddles. I can't relax, I can't sleep. I need snuggles," I whine.
"Come here," he says, opening his arms for me.
I settle into his arms and close my eyes.
