"Sorry about that. I thought you were a vampire."
He said as he turned away in embarrassment.
"Really, Tyril?"
Drew stood up and looked him straight in the eye. He avoided her gaze.
"You are beating yourself up about something that wasn't even your fault."
Drew said.
"What do you mean it wasn't my fault? I should have been there for him. It should have been me. You hear me? ME!"
He buried his face in his hands and began to sob once more.
Drew stood there, rubbing his shoulders.
"I don't know what to do, Drew", Tyril said as he came off his tears, looking her straight with his bleary eyes.
"Oh, Tyril. We'll figure it out don't you worry. I've got your back. Always."
"I know Drew. I just wish none of this would have happened at all."
