Send me a " ○ " for my character's reaction to finding yours sitting outside in the rain, upset and cryingErica was wet and cold. The one day she’d decided to walk to school, the weather had freakishly decided to turn in the middle of the day and bucket down with rain. She reached her front yard when she saw her red haired friend sitting on the doorstep in tears. “Summer? Sweetie, what’s wrong?” She ran over to her and embraced her in a hug, pulling the girl’s head into her shoulder to try and comfort her. She hated seeing Summer sad and she would do anything to make whatever was making her cry go away.
The girl wasn’t making any sense and Erica raised an eyebrow at her. “Do you want to go see Deaton now? I figured you’d want to wait until tomorrow. I’ll go with you back to school to get your car when you want to go.” She smiled at Summer and sat down on her bed.
“I just … I don’t want to do this alone, okay?” She rubbed her hands over her face. “I’m really scared, Erica. I don’t want to be alone, I don’t — ” She swallowed hard, then whispered, “How am I going to tell Isaac?”
“You’re not going to be alone, ok, I promise I will stay with you through all of this.” Erica pulled Summer into her arms and hugged her tightly. She kissed her forehead softly, she was her best friend and she wasn’t going to let anything bad happen to her. “Isaac is not going to judge you, he is a werewolf that used to get locked in a freezer.”
That brought a broken laugh from Summer. “What a contrast. The girl with spontaneous combustion and a boy who was locked in a freezer. He’ll hate me.” She fought back a second bout of tears.
