They were miserable with out one another but they couldn't even try to work it out like big kids. I mean, come on! He was an upper classman now! And she and Sel would be as in no time! It was ridiculous, but he was afraid. Afraid she'd hurt him more.
He nodded solemnly, feeling all gloomy. He didn't want to talk to her, but he'd at least let Selina know that he might try. Maybe. But probably not.
"Oh." Guess he wasn't the only one with relationship issues. Trying to console his sister without making her uncomfortable, he asked timidly, "Are you..... alright...? What happened? I mean.... only if you're okay with opening up....." It seemed like every time he tried to be there for the little red head, she'd close up her walls and go on about respecting her privacy and how she didn't want to talk about it. That made it quite difficult for him to feel like he was being a good brother, and probably made her feel more alone. But he wasn't going to force her to talk about it if she didn't want to. Unless she really needed to. But for now, it seemed a safe enough subject.
"I'm not a fragile little doll, Chris," Selina sighed. She hated when people did that to her. She knew that she was perhaps not the easiest person in the world to deal with emotionally, but she rarely broke down. Selina was not the crying type. If anything she would resort to getting angry than crying. She was not going to break over this. People had to stop walking on egg shells around her.
But she knew that he was being careful with her emotions because he was a good big brother and was worried about her. It was only natural that he should be and would be. So she answered his question honestly,
"I'm avoiding him... I like everything about him, even the not so good stuff and that scares me. I usually don't ever like anyone like this. In fact, I've only ever liked Simon before this and he was a more crush than anything. But I like him and it scares me..." She pulled her legs into meet her chest. It was true. It was all so confusing. How Chris and Violet handled it flawlessly... oh wait... darnit!
