Judas would have stopped and talked to judith more but he needed to leave. Him and ashton started leaving earlier so theyd be able to hangout a little before class. Maybe makeout behind the school.
He knew that Judith was probably feeling unloved and abandoned. But he could bearly stand the sight of her. He couldnt believe that he got so distracted by a boy that he wasnt there for his sister. She got hurt and he wasnt there to help her or stop it.
He shook his head. Cleared his mind. Thats when he heard ashton.
His bubbly cheerful voice. The sweet tone. He really did love him. But now, all he could think about was that this boy that he loved, was the distraction that kept him from his sister. Judith could have died. And judas wouldn't have been there with her. She would have died scared. And alone. Being chased by a man she thought hated her. Judas collapsed on the side of the road and broke down into sobs. Ashton panicked and ran to him.
"Judas? Judas are you okay?"

Judas barely heard him. The world seemed like it was muffled and distant. Ashton couldnt make sense of what was happening. He couldnt get judas to talk to him. Judas was completely unresponsive to anything around him. He just sat there crying.

Ashton pulled his phone out and started calling judas' parents.
"Um hey. Its Ashton. Me and judas where meeting up and he just collapsed crying. I cant get him to answer me. I dont know what to do. Please help me."

Not long after ashton hung up the phone, judas' parents showed up. His mother was the first one out of the car. She ran to him.
"Judas, sweety, its your mother. Whats wrong?"

Judas looked up and the sorrow and anxiety that was in his eyes almost broke ashton and his mother both.

"M-mom?"
"Im right here. Its me. Sweetie i need to know whats wrong. We cant help you unless we know."
"J-judith got hurt...and i couldnt help her. I was to di-distracted with ashton...she could have died mom.." Judas clung to his mother like his life depended on it. And his mom glanced at her husband.
"Its an anxiety attack. We need to get him home." She turned to ashton "sweetie, can you drop his homework off at the house when schools over. Hes not in a good state of mind right now."
"Yes. Of course. Is he going to be okay?"
"He'll be fine. This happenes every now and then. Thank you for calling us. Youre a sweet boy."
Ashton smiled "thank you. Well. I guess ill see you guys after school."
"Of course sweetie."
