"Jon, what's wrong?" Tiana asked as she caught up to him and when he looked over at her, he just shook his head. "Are you okay?" She asked quietly and he was closing his eyes briefly.

"Eliza dumped me." Jon put it bluntly and she was looking at him, before she moved her arms around him in a hug. "She just dumped me. And just before, we were about to see each other for the first time in a while and naturally, she dumped me." He said.

"I know that it doesn't feel like it, but I do have faith that you'll be okay. That you will find someone else, even if you don't currently feel like you will." Tiana murmured and he was grinning at her but she could see the pain in his eyes, before the two of them were walking along the school hallways together.

"When did you get so smart about things like that?" Jon asked and Tiana shrugged at the words, before she was quickly walking at a normal speed into her next class.

Tiana was knocking on Jon's closed door quickly and very briefly, he was looking over at it. Before he got up and opened the door to look at her. "I come in peace, it's just me." She said and she held up containers of Chinese food. "I know that you really aren't fond of pity, so I'm not giving you any. But, I got you some ginger beef." She held it out to him and Jon smiled faintly, before he moved to let her into the room.

"Okay, you didn't go to the buffet again. Did you?" Jon asked quietly, around a mouthful of ginger beef and she was shaking her head. "I thought you didn't, this tastes different."

"They were closed today. But... I got some from a joint over in Starling City, when I was coming back from a mission." Tiana admitted and he was looking at her.

"You actually got it from somewhere in Metropolis, didn't you?" Jon guessed and at the words, she winced and he sighed. "You don't have to dance around the subject for me, okay?! I don't care anymore." He snapped sharply and she was looking at him, unused to him sounding so jagged and she was blinking.

Tiana looked down at her food again and then, she was beginning to push the food around. "T, I didn't mean it." Jon said and she was putting the container onto the counter. "Tiana, you need that..."

"I just lost my appetite." She said very quietly and Jon's eyes flashed with shame at the words, before she was flashing out of the room and he groaned quietly.

Tiana was throwing on a hoodie over a t-shirt and pants, before she was walking out of the barn at a normal speed and she was walking over to the truck quickly.

Tiana had her earbuds in and she was leaning against the window, seeing that the boys were arguing about what to do first.

Tiana just left them to it and quickly, she was doing a single lap of the entire Harvest Festival before she returned to where Jordan and Jon had both been.

Tiana spotted Jordan immediately and he was holding out money to a vendor, while Tiana was running around to every food vendor and paying quickly for a bunch of food, before dropping the change into all of the tip jars and then, she was sitting quietly on a nearby truck bed.

Tiana was quickly eating her way through all of the food as she was leaning back a bit and she looked at the sky. Tiana's phone beeped and surprisingly, it was Jordan this time and she opened the message.

JK#24: Jon is drinking with some older kids somewhere around here. Can you watch out for him, make sure that he doesn't get into any crazy stuff?

Tiana zipped around the Harvest Festival until she found Jordan, who yelped at her sudden appearance at his shoulder and quickly now, she was looking at him.
