Using my crutches, I navigated my way from my dorm building to see Flynt. I hadn't seen him in a day or two and I still felt guilty. I should've listened to Ethan and looked out for Flynt. Coming into the courtyard, I saw a shaggy haired boy coming my way. I slowed down until we were a foot away. I bit my lip.
"Hey," Collin broke the silence.
I spoke softly. "Hi."
"You feeling any better?" he asked.
I nodded.
"Good."
I nodded again.
"Listen, Carlin. Im sorry...I only want the best for you," he said quietly.
I stayed silent.
"Please understand, Carlin.
"Collin, stop."
"Carlin..."
I took a deep breath. "Im sick of you babying me! I can take care of myself, it isn't fair you keep doing this to me. Not everyone is bad, especially not Ethan.
"And not everyone is good, either," he retorted.
Just leave me alone!" I spat and moved around him, hiding my face that was now damp with tears.
"Carlin,Im sorry. I just don't want you to get hurt!" Sadness filled his voice as he called after me.
I bit my lip, holding back my tears. "I can take care of myself! If I get hurt, thats my problem, not yours." My voice was wobbly as I looked the other way.
He sighed. "Im sorry."
