[Please note: This chapter is written in Callan's POV - when he slept over Crystal's room]

'She's finally asleep. That's good. She's probably having trouble sleeping, that's why she asked me to sleep over.'

I stared at Crystal as I continued to brush her hair. She laid beside me, and my arm was her pillow. This scene would had been a nice and sweet scenario if only… she wasn't hurting.

"Haaahh…" I sighed to myself. "Crystal… How I wish I can just take your pain away. I don't like seeing you sad. It's heartbreaking."

She should let it all out—everything that she's feeling. Tomorrow, I'll make her spill it all out.
