"Mitch?" Rob called out beside me.
"Leave me alone," I pushed him away. I just wanted to be alone.
"No, unless you tell me what happened," he squatted down beside me. I looked at him.
"Jerome happened! He got driven away! Happy?!" Mentioning his name made me hurt so much. I can't save him. I'm useless.
"Mitch, it isn't your fault," Rob tried to calm me down. I glared at him, my face tear-stained.
"Not my fault? How the hell is it not my fault?! I let his dad get him! I let him go!" I cried as Rob hugged me.
"J-Jerome expected me to save him. He was slamming at the windows screaming for me. I-I just let him go," I poured everything to Rob as he tried to soothe me.
"I can't even save him! I'm useless! Pathetic!" To bent my anger, I pulled up the grass beside me. I was expecting Rob to give me a dirty look, and tell me to stay away from him, to tell me that I am useless.
I wasn't expecting him to scoot closer.
"You aren't useless, and you aren't pathetic either," he then showed me a video.
Oh god, is that me?
I watched as my body shook from the previous breakdown. After the video ended, I looked at Rob.
"I still can't save Jerome! I let him go!"
"You tried your best."
Another set of footsteps pounded over to our direction. Rob and I looked up. It was Adam. Worry was plastered on his face.
"Wha-"
"We need to talk."
