     GUILT quickly dawned on her and she took a step closer to sami, one
hand twitching to raise up and pull him into a hug. but she crushed that
urge as quickly as it had come and averted her gaze from her favorite red-
head. clenching her hand into a fist, a sigh fell past red painted lips, and maybe
then would’ve been a good time to swallow her damn pride and apologize
for her reaction, but that wasn’t something sasha could do. apologizing wasn’t
in her nature. ❛ … — i’m always okay. ❜ lies upon lies were stacking up, but she
couldn’t go back now. it was much too late for that. 

           ^{SAMI’S   EYES   NARROWED   A   BIT      as he studied her  and  he  could  tell .  just  by  looking   into  her  eyes ,  that  she  was  far  from  okay.   his concern genuine. perhaps instinct made him  come  closer  and  lean  in  a  bit, his  voice  low.         ❝     sasha…     ❞            was  all  he  could  say  at  the  moment  because  he  was  in  shock  at  how  broken  she  truly  was.      SHE  IS TOO  PRETTY :  for  lies  so  harsh  to  fall  from  her  lips  but  sami  knew  better  than  to  think  that  just  because  something  was  pretty  meant  that  it  couldn’t       sting.   guilt  weighed  heavily  on  his  shoulders.   ANGER  MADE  FOOLS  OF  US  ALL    in the end    right ?    he  wanted  to  help  her        he  HAD  to  help  her ,  so  very  tentatively ,  he  did  something  bold  and  kinda  stupid  ;  sami  leaned  in  further  and  pressed  a gentle  kiss  to  her  forehead  before   he  wound  his  arms  tightly  around  her  body.  he  didn’t  know  if  she  needed  this ,  or  even  wanted  this  from  him. but  if  she  needed  him  to ,  he’d  keep  her  from  falling apart.         ❝       hey ,  i  dunno what’s  goin’  on  with  you ,  but  if  you  ever  need  a  friend ,  i’m  here ,  okay  ?     ❞}
