"ok the first thing is we are going to find a therapist." corbyn tells her, leading her to her bed. and sits on the edge of it. "and then we are going to take a little break from music and school. we will have you do online."

"online?"

"you will join a zoom call, and get the class that way. i would be here every step of the way. to make serenity to the serenity i adore and love." corbyn tells her, taking ahold of her hands. "have you been talking to sadie? please don't. i don't want her to lecture me." serenity tells corbyn, kissing the back of his hand. "i won't. this is a secret that i won't tell anyone. besides the therapist."

"ok fine." corbyn rubs her hands, as he gets up from the bed. "i promise i will not leave you alone like this ever again." he says, pulling his pinky finger up. "promise?" serenity looks at him confused, then realizes. she connects her pinky and secures the promise. but what he didn't know is the girl can keep promises. especially with the people she is close with. serenity smiles at the pinky's, when she has nothing to smile about.

"can you stay with me? please corbyn. just like old times?" she asks, quietly looking at the boy. "i can. and i will. let me go tell the boys." he kisses the top of her head and leaves the room. he shuts the door behind him and walks up to the group of boys, and girl. who all have worried written on all of their faces. "any luck?" sadie asks, biting her nails.

"yeah...i'm actually going to stay the night with her. i can meet you guys up tomorrow or something? i want ren to be in a good mental state where she can function properly. because right now she isn't. i'm worried for her."

"it's fine corbyn, take care of her. we will be in the studio. just get her the help, get her the ren you know and love." zach tells him, giving corbyn a little nod. "thanks guys." the boys nods their heads as corbyn makes his way back to serenity's room. he walks in and sees her yawning. "are you sleepy? did you get any sleep last night?" he asks her, walking into her closet and pulling out pants.

"i- i didn't get any sleep. i couldn't. my mind was scattered. but don't worry about me, corbyn you look worse. well i didn't mean it like that. you look tired." he walks back out and sits down next to serenity. "serenity we need to be more honest with each other. have you gotten any sleep in the past four days?" she shakes her head as she hides her face in her hands. "no. i'm sorry please don't hit me." she says, muffled.

"hey hey ren. why would i hit you? ren please look at me." corbyn asks, peering closer to the girl. "i-i don't know." corbyn embraces the girl in a hug, kissing her cheek as he does. "i would never hit you." corbyn tells her, calming the girl who is shaking. "i just- can you hug my tighter?" she asks him, he does exactly as she asked him to.

serenity has a hard time finding what really words she wants to say in this very moment. she has had a hard time from her childhood, with her first account to with her father. and having to bring silenced. it's not something great to deal with. but she knows, and will have the feeling that she belongs with corbyn. she just can't find the words to say yet.

"let's get some rest. does that sound good?" serenity nods head and gets into bed as corbyn goes to the bathroom and changes. he comes out to see the girl waiting for him. he sets his clothes down on the floor and crawls in next to her. sliding his arm around her waist, and pulling her close. kissing her cheek. before they know it the couple falls asleep.
