Chapter 23

Brandon had been keeping to himself since he returned to school. He didn't feel like talking to anyone and his friends were getting worried. He kept his head and avoided everyone at school, his eyes only looked up every once in a while to stare at a certain beautiful boy. Reiner had left his sleeping place and moved to the other side of the dorm. He had also switched to advance classes so they were not in the same class anymore.

He made sure that Brandon understood that he wanted nothing to do with him. Brandon felt the void in his heart grow bigger and bigger by the day but didn't say anything. He was slowly losing himself to the pain but didn't bother to get help from the school therapist. He remained silent and endured everything. The pain he felt was nothing like he had ever felt before and he didn't know what to do about it. He had been sent to the nurse's office many times after he passed out but they couldn't figure out what was wrong with him.
