Brendan broke up with me today, I stayed in and cried because I didn't feel like going to school.

The window opened and Tom popped his head inside.

"I don't want you to look at me now," I spoke in between sobs.

"Why? Because you've been crying?"

When his words were met with silence, he said, "I don't care, I'll cry with you." And he took me in an embrace.
