Moving through the hallways almost blindly, she realized her feet were carrying her outside on their own. Good, the pitch or the lake would be a good place to hide for a little while until after could get herself to calm down. Anywhere she could tuck herself away and just be alone. She was being ridiculous and she knew it, had to come up with some excuse for her behavior...

Then, much to her surprise, she felt his hand on her wrist and heard the concern in his voice as she was pulled to a stop just short of reaching outside. Damn him and his long legs. She hadn't anticipated him following, but in retrospect probably should have. Her exit had been very quick and without good excuse; he would naturally assume something was wrong, well because there was.

Thankfully there didn't appear to be anyone else around at the moment to see her meltdown. "No, you're fine. I promise, it's definitely me." It was barely above a whisper and she couldn't quite meet his eyes. She didn't know what else to say, but at least that was true.
