After Serenity left the building of the event, Daniel and Jonah managed to calm Zach down and put some ice on his knuckles as Corbyn went off with Mason to find Serenity, slightly hoping she was calm enough to talk to.

As the pair walked outside to the backyard area, they both looked around across the dim space that was slightly filled with fog just thin enough to see through as the breeze was ever so slightly colder every few times it hit.

Across the path that led down to a side gate which had a few benches placed along it, the girl was sat at the one furthest from the venue door, sitting in the darkness and staring at the table with her hand still covering her wrist.

From the distance, the pair couldn't tell if she was okay or not. Corbyn had quickly assumed that she needed some fresh air and have a chance to breathe, but Mason due to knowing the girl slightly better, quickly convinced himself that it seemed much worse than what Corbyn made it out to be.

"I think we should get Zach," Corbyn whispered, looking at Mason, "I think it's best we get someone she's more comfortable with, just in case she's crying or something."

"Should we text Zach?" Mason asked, receiving a nod from Corbyn as he grabbed his phone, quickly sending a text as they stayed outside just in case Serenity desperately needed someone.

Waiting a few minutes for the boy to come outside, Zach eventually left the building with Treasure behind him, who instantly wrapped her arms around herself as the breeze hit her.

"She's sitting down there but we didn't want to upset her more because she isn't as comfortable with us," Mason said, nodding to the bench in the corner as they both nodded.

"Jack needs help with Ethan," Treasure said as she watched Zach head over to Serenity, "Everyone's leaving the event but Ethan is still trying to make things worse."

"We got it," Corbyn nodded, before they both gave Treasure a small smile and headed off inside, leaving the girl to follow behind Zach's footsteps.

Getting closer to Serenity, the pair soon noticed the trouble she was having with breathing, her hands were a lot more shaken up than usual and the girl had a ghost like colour on her while she kept her stare on the bench was she sat by.

"Ren?" Zach softly said as he went to wrap his arms around the girl, only for the girl to shuffle away from him and turn her head away, "I'm not going to hurt you precious."

For the girl with her back facing Treasure and Zach, that one small sentence was more than enough for her to begin sobbing as her hands went to cover her face, which was when Zach quickly turned to look at Treasure, unsure of what to do.
