My heart nearly stopped. Lyla had never set foot in my room before. Seeing her here felt so surreal, Quickly, I placed the frame face–down on my counter.

“Of course, please come in.

She entered the room, closing the door softly behind her. Her eyes were red and her hands were fidgeting nervously, I could smell her distress, I wanted to go to her but I didn’t want to startle her, so I dug my heels where I stood and waited for her to tell me why she was here.

“I didn’t know who else to go to,” she began, her voice trembling slightly. “Seth he told me I’d find you here,”

I gestured toward a chair, feeling happy at her statement. “Please, sit down.

She shook her head firmly. “No, I can’t. 1… I need to say this or I might explode.”

Alarmed, I moved closer trying to comfort her but she backed away. I kept my distance when she held up her hand. “Please, Ramsey… don’t come any closer”

I clenched my fists at my sides, I wanted to comfort her so badly, but I also wanted to respect her space. “What is it? You can tell me?

She looked up at me, with eyes filled with anguish. “Ramsey, I could get into lots of trouble if someone knows this and I came to you because it was the most natural thing to do. But now, I don’t know… I’m so sorry because I’ll burden you with it?

“It’s not a burden, Lyla and no matter what we would figure it out together. Can you trust me?”

She shook her head. “I can’t.”

I murmured something inexplicable under my breath. “You have to trust me now, I promise I won’t do anything that would put you in harm’s way. Please…please…Lyla, look at me…”
