I'll make sure to be clear.

I walked off the beach with Andy and Brandon. Andy and I wanted to talk to each other more in depth alone. I don't want to put anymore pressure on Brandon's shoulders. I think that the fight kinda made everyone unsettled. Andy walked me into the private room in the RV. He claimed it to be the boom room or everyone gets laid here. He told me that wasn't going to happen and I was going to make damn sure it wasn't going to happen. 

"I'm aware you're unhappy, and I hope to help in anyway possible." Andy sat me down on the bed.

"Yeah, I just don't know. I want to go home, but I don't want to move back in with my parents. It's too hard to do." I sobbed.

He gave me a tissue and shut the door. "You can always stay in here, trust me, I think this will be the best option for you."

"Why do you say that?" I wiped my tears off my cheek with the tissue.

"You can be in here alone, and you have all of our numbers, so if you wanted to talk to anyone we'll come right to you. We're here for you." He held my hand.

"I don't want to be secluded. I like being alone, but I get triggered when I'm alone." I turned my arm over to show him the scars on my wrist.

"Oh my. I see, do you want me to move Brandon in here with you?" Andy started to tear up.

"Sure, if you want to move in too, you can too. If we have plenty of space to move your mattress to the floor." I suggest.

"I'll just sleep in the chair over there if you need me to."

I smiled, "Sounds good."

"Anything else on your mind now?" Andy put his arm around my shoulders again.

 "I'm nervous about what David could possibly do to me or Brandon or both of us." 

"Shhhh," he held me and rocked me side to side, "I can't tell the future, but I know that the rest of us have your back, and we won't let you get hurt. Especially Brandon, he really cares about you."

"How do you know that?" 

"I see how he reacts to you, and how kind he is to you. He usually does that when he cares about someone." 

"Oh. How long has it been since he's shown this emotion?"

"Quite a long time."

"I take it I must be very special to him."

"You sure are."

"Thanks, I just need to stop overthinking, that's the cause of the end of everything for me, I need to take a breath then examine the situation."

"That's a good way to deal with the problem, I know you can do this, you're a smart girl, and you know that we all care."

"I know, thank you for everything, Andy."

"You're so welcome." Andy gave me a hug and I held on very tightly. 

I let go slowly and Andrew left the room. I was alone and I think I need Brandon here to make me calm. I go up to the door and open it , Brandon was right there with his belongings. He must have known I needed to be with him at this very moment.
