Song: When She Cries - Male
(Don't play song yet)
Laurance POV

I felt so bad for Garroth.
The excuse of a human Garroth must call his father, Garte. Just DISOWNED him.

He was inside on the ground in a corner curled up in a ball crying.
I sat down next to him and pulled him closer to me, he put his head on my shoulder still crying.

Everyone took out their phone and started taking pictures.
I growled quietly at them.

"You REALLY think right now is a good time to be taking pictures!?"
Their eyes widened and quickly put their phones back.

I sighed and hugged Garroth.

"I'm so sorry this is happening to you." I said to him.

"I-it's fine..." He said, it barely came out as a whisper. Heck I could barely hear it and he's right next to me.

I sighed.
"How about we clear your head from this?" I started. "Maybe get everyone's number?" I finished. It really hurts to see him like this and I could tell everyone was the same.

He nodded and continuously wiped his tears with his sleeve since they just kept coming back.

I released him from my cuddle hug, stood up and offered my hand to help him up. He took it and once he stood up I gave him a big hug.

Quickly followed by everyone else.
Once we released. He slightly calmed down, he still seemed a bit sad but better than before.

I smiled and he gave a sad smile back.
They all started giving him their numbers as he put them on his phone.

I decided to order pizza.
. . .
Now that I was done with ordering the pizza, I sat down on the floor watching as Cadenza came towards me. Everyone else still giving Garroth their number.

"Y'know Garroth is really lucky to have you and not some back stabber at school. He's so lucky to have gotten to be with you in real life."

"Why is that?" I asked.

"Because he seemed so alone when I first saw him. He looked so lost."

"...honestly I never knew he felt like this. I have known him for four years and I didn't know he was so sad."

"Exactly. That's why I'm saying he's so lucky. He doesn't seem so lost anymore." She said smiling brightly.

We heard a knock at the door.

"I'LL GET IT!" Travis said immediately.
He ran to the door and opened it to the see the one and only pizza man.

"YES!" Travis said pulling the money out already. He gave the pizza man the money, grabbed the pizza and closed the door saying 'bye' quickly.

"Travis you love pizza to much for your own good." Aaron said.

Garroth slightly smiled.

I checked the time. It was 10:36 at night.
Everyone was doing their own thing eating pizza.
But I saw no Garroth. I frowned at that. I quickly got up and looked around, everyone was to busy to notice me. (;-;)

I looked through the window showing outside and saw a figure sitting down on one of the steps on the dock in the backyard.

It was Garroth. He looked deep into thought. I stayed there not wanting to disturb.
He probably wants to be alone right now anyway.
I decided to get some food for him, I ran inside and got a slice of pizza, putting it on a plate. I was about to go outside until I noticed him move.

He got his phone out and looked like he was searching through something.
I opened the door slightly, stepped outside quietly and hid, closing the door quietly also, as the song started.
He didn't hear anything. Good.

I got my phone out and pressed record. Knowing what's about to happen.

(Ok so I couldn't find a male cover so I did male nightcore. *sigh* So I made my own male cover.
Oh and play song now!)

"Little boy terrified
He'd leave his room if only bruises would heal
A home is no place to hide
His heart is breaking from the pain that he feels

Every day's the same
He fights to find his way
He hurts, he breaks, he hides, and tries to pray
He wonders why, does anyone ever hear him when he cries

Today he's turning fifteen
Everyone singing, but he can't seem to smile
They never get past arms length
How could they act like everything is alright?
He's pulling down his long sleeves
To cover all the memories that scars leave
He says, "maybe making me bleed
Will be the answer that could wash the slate clean"

Every day's the same
He fights to find his way
He hurts, he breaks, he hides, and tries to pray
He wonders why, does anyone ever hear him when he cries

This is the dark before the dawn
The storm before the peace
Don't be afraid 'cause seasons change and
God is watching over you
He hears you

Every day's the same
He fights to find his way
He hurts, he breaks, he hides, and tries to pray
He'll be just fine, cause i know he hears him when he cries

Every day's the same
He fights to find his way
He hurts, he breaks, he hides, and tries to pray
He'll be just fine, cause now I know he hears him when he cries
He'll be just fine, cause now I know he hears him when he cries."

I stopped recording it and I could hear quiet cries.
I couldn't take this anymore..

I walked up to him and sat next to him. I put my hand on his.

He jumped and looked at me in shock, fear, and sadness.
His eyes filled with tears.

"You have a really nice voice y'know. Oh and I brought you some food." I said putting the plate of pizza down.

I saw a blush form on his face, he looked away shyly.

"Hey.. It's true! I know you may want to be alone right now but, we all are here for you. Remember that ok?"
(Anyone get the MCD reference?)

He nodded yes, I gave him a quick hug and stood up, I walked back inside and saw everyone still chatting.

I looked outside one last time, his elbows on his knees with his hands supporting his head up. The plate seemed a bit farther from him.

I sighed.
He'll be..

Just Fine.
