Brian hadn’t expected anyone to find him when he left for the forest in search of a place that had once been a refuge for him.
He hadn’t expected anyone to want to find him. Whether they were looking or not, he couldn’t bring himself to think anyone would want to walk in on whatever mess this was.
So when the sound of footsteps echoed around him just above the din of his own incessant sobbing, he assumed the worst. There was a shudder in his chest as he sucked in a breath, head snapping up within seconds to leave dark yellow spots on his hoodie where the tears had fallen. His vision was blurry, and he rubbed at his eyes to try and see something, any detail of the persons face.
When he’d managed to blink away the water welling up in his eyes, he didn’t recognize who he saw. He’d never seen this person before, and that unnerved him.
“W-who are you…why are you here?”
There was a shakiness to his voice as he spoke, possibilities beginning to link together, spinning his head in circles.
