Thomas' POV
We finish our good byes and she approaches where Zack and Nysa and leaning against the car watching us all say goodbye. I walk towards a quiet Ben and raise his face with my hands so that he's forced to look at me.
"Hey, Benny. Everything okay?" I ask him and he tries and fails to give me a reassuring smile.
"I'm okay." I give him a hard look and he relents aim a sigh but corrects himself. "I'll be okay." He tells me and I crush him into me for a hug, rocking him slightly not liking the haunted look in his eyes.
"You can always text me, okay?" I ask him and he nods. I feel Zack come up behind me as I pull away, his arm coming around my waist securely. The rest of the fair wells are quick and soon we're all climbing into our cars.
