"Yeah.. I guess." I said simply with a shrug. I hated when my mom brought up my dad.

I nudged his shoulder with mine and gave him a small grin, "Hey, you can tell me if you want but I understand if you don't want to talk about it."

"Let's go find some where warm to sit." I said.

I nodded and adjusted the leather strap of my messanger bag before following quickly behind Reece.

I went inside the media center and found an empty room. I sat down and bit my lip, looking up at her.

I was a little surprised as we walked into the Media Center but didn't say anything. I was never good at being quiet persay but I knew when the time was right to just wait. We found a small room in the back that was empty and when he sat and looked up at me, biting his lip my suspicions were confirmed. Something was very wrong. Slowly I sat next to him, our knees slightly brushing and I looked straight into his eyes and said softly, "What's wrong, Reece?"

"My dad got into a lot of bad things. He was a drug dealer. He was shot and killed at one of the deals... The one time I followed him." I said softly.

I swallowed sharply, my stomach hurting a little. I felt horrible, I had no idea what to say to make it better. What do you say to that? As I listened my mind darted back to the night at the pool and the scar on his shoulder. "Your scar...?" I asked softly without meaning to actually say anything aloud.

I nodded. "One of the bullets grazed my shoulder." I said softly.

I didn't know what to say. What do you say to that? All I wanted to do was fix it and I don't know why. I barely knew him and I wanted to make it all better. I swallowed and touched his shoulder very softly, "I am so sorry. That isn't fair or something anyone should have to deal with..." I said slowly and before I could stop myself I said, "Especially not someone like you. I don't know your father, but you aren't like him," I added thinking back to what I heard him say to his mother over the phone.

I shook my head. "It's fine. I'm fine." I said.

I sighed, "I'm not going to say you're not okay because that's not my place. But, it really is okay to be not fine," I replied making him hold my eye contact. "Really, we all have..." I paused taking a breath. "Pasts. And sometimes they can't up with us and it's okay to be not okay for a while."

I sighed. "It's just hard to watch someone you love get killed." I said softly.

I felt like throwing up suddenly, "I can't say I understand but really I am sorry. Good people don't deserve things like this..." I replied softly.

"No one ever said I was a good person." I said.
