Dr Wayne arrived eventually, and started shouting at me.

"That was so absoultely STUPID Brendon?! You endangered not only yourself but Venn too! And you didn't tell a single one of us that you were going!"

"P-please don't yell."

"We had police officers roaming the streets looking for you two! Your mother is in hysterics!"

"I-I'm sorry!"

He huffed and went into Venn's room.

I didn't want to be yelled at, and I still felt guilty about Venn. I just stood up and wandered away.

Straight into a wall. Hard.

I tried to not whimper. I kicked the wall in frustration, which only made it worse. I felt the wall give way though.

It fell to the ground with a crash. I winced, assuming I hadn't walked into a wall, instead some kind of divider.

I just froze.

I was surely getting in trouble for this.

Someone pulled my arm back and away from the divider, while I heard others try to put it up.

I didn't say a word.

"What were you thinking?!"

"I-I wasn't?"

She huffed in annoyance. "And take those stupid glasses off. You don't need them inside, loser."

I reached up and took them off.

I then heard her scream.

"W-what's going on?!"

"Y-You could've told me y-you were missing an eye!"

"Huh?"

She shoved my glasses back on.

"Sorry..."

I heard her shudder, before walking off.

I frowned.

I asked someone to help me find Venn's room.

They just pushed me into a room.

"Brendon? What's wrong?" Dr Wayne asked.

I just burst into tears.

"Hey, hey, what's wrong?"

"E-everything!"

"Venn's going to be fine. I promise."

"G-good, I guess."

"Now why are you crying?"

"I-it didn't work a-and I just scare people!"

"What didn't work?"

"T-the plan."

"What plan?"

I shook my head.

"Brendon?"

"It's n-not important."

"Tell me."

"I-I w-was just gonna h-have a g-good time w-with Venn a-and-" I just cried.

"And?"

"A-and then I'd try a-again."

There was a moment of silence, before he sighed softly. "Oh, Brendon..."

"I-I know, I'm s-sorry."

"It's okay... we'll, we'll just have some extra sessions when we get home."
