'You look happier'

Brooklyn wanted everyone to be okay. He wanted Andy to be okay. He wanted Ava to be okay. He was the one who cared about everyone.

Sure he didn't really know her or even had a chance to speak to her, but he felt like he just needed to be there for her. Andy spoke about her a lot. She was his rock, his world.

Brooklyn could see that.

He sat on the stars outside the two flats, his head was lent on the wall beside. Ava came walking out of the flat, her face a little puffy and red.

Brooklyn saw her and perked up. Ava turned towards the boy.

"Hey, what you doing sat on the stairs" she asked him with a soft smile.

"Just wanted to get away from all the noise in the flat and think."

Ava sat next to him and leant her head on his shoulder.

"You know Brooklyn, Andy told me a lot about you. How kind you are , how you were always the one who would break up all the little fights"

Brooklyn smiled down at the girl.

"Thank you" she whispered.

"For what?"

"For keeping him safe."

Andy walked around the park saying small hello's to the fans outside. He enjoyed their company.

Brooklyn came out and whispered something in his ear.

"I've gotta go but I'll be out again later." He waved at them and ran inside.

He saw Ava sat on the stairs waiting for him.

"Hey" he said softly.

She smiled up at him.

"I'm sorry for not talking to you after yesterday. I just needed time."

"Hey, it's okay" he said taking her hands into his.

"I guess after everything you've been through you just need time alone. To sort your head out."

She nodded.

Andy wrapped an arm around her and she cuddled into him.

"I just didn't want you to think I was a bad friend."

"You'll never be a bad friend, I promise."
