Being vulnerable

Ryn looked at Mika worriedly.  Even after they were done with their breakfast, her best friend still looked down.  Mika could not even cover the worry on her face.  Ryn took her hand, patting it gently, trying to cheer her up.   

Jeremy looked at the two best friends sitting at the back.  He did not comment when neither Ryn nor Mika chose to sit next to him at the front seat when they got into the car. He knew Ryn noticed the changes in Mika's mood and was thankful and glad seeing Ryn reacted to it without him even asking.  

He, even as Mika's brother, was helpless when Mika was having this kind of emotion.  Usually, he would call Jason to help or bring Mika to the hospital to see her psychiatrist. He was blessed having Ryn next to Mika. Ryn could help her fighting the demon. 

He drove the car silently. He did not even play any song, just letting the quietness filling their surroundings.
