Even his hand curled around her arm as he tried to calm down. But there didn't seem to be any place to turn or run that he wasn't confronted with what he feared most. It was like a head-on collision that came out of no where.
"I'm...scared." He didn't care how childish or immature it sounded. It was the plain, agonizing truth. He had been terrified all semester and he couldn't hide it anymore.

Oh Sabel, we're all afraid of the unknown, aren't we? You have nothing to be afraid of though. You will succeed at everything you try. You will be happier than you could ever imagine... I just know it," she said in her best reassuring tone... you know... through the sniffles and tears and such.
Still rocking them slightly she sighed as she nuzzled her face into his neck a little bit. "
Sabel. What are afraid of? Starting fresh? Growing up? Leaving here? Leaving Arya? I promise you, everything is going to be alright..." she trailed off.
It wasn't alright, though. She didn't want to let him leave her. She wanted to be selfish and keep her friend forever. And ever.
