[Julian]

((Haha, yeah. :3))

Matt finally calmed down a little and walked to his next class. But. First he had to check on Abby. So he looked for her, trying to avoid the taunting numbers of these hallways, which he had memorized.

((Yep. :)))

[Elliott]

Where the crap did he go? Abby wondered, biting her nails. I really hope he's okay. She wasn't sure why she cared so much. She barely knew him, he just seemed... he was... she wasn't sure what he was. She just wanted him to be okay. There are plenty of ways people could injure or humiliate him in the short amount of time.

[Julian]

Suddenly Matt started freaking out even more because he had to find her because there were so many ways she could die just standing there and--no. He wouldn't think about it.

But the thought was already there, and there was no avoiding it. Instead, he walked faster.

((Oh my gosh. Thanatophobia must be so terrible, because there's no escaping it.))

[Elliott]

Someone bumped into her and she froze up again. It was an accident. This isn't your old school. Chill. She blinked and kept walking.

[Julian]

Matt literally ran into her.

[Elliott]

Abby didn't notice it was him. She just spun around and run away in the opposite direction.

[Julian]

"Wait--" he called out and grabbed her arm, gently.

[Elliott]

She stopped, barely recognizing Matt through her brain freaking out. "Wha...?"

[Julian]

"Abby," he said, realizing she was freaking out and let her go, just in case it freaked her out more.

[Elliott]

"You...um..." She closed her eyes, but instead of calming down she just saw an image of Josh grabbing her arm and dragging her outside, shoving her into the mud.

[Julian]

"Can I help?"

[Elliott]

She shook her head. "I need... alone... can't do school... not yet." She just wanted to go back to Ben's apartment and lock herself in his room and never come out.

[Julian]

"Just go."

[Elliott]

She nodded. "I'll... see you? Later?"

[Julian]

He nodded.

[Elliott]

Then she remembered. He'd been freaking out earlier and she had to... ask him. She had to know it he was okay but she had to leave but... "Are you okay?" she asked really fast.

[Julian]

"Um. No."

[Elliott]

"Do you... could I help?" Abby said, with her eyes closed.

[Julian]

"I'm fine."

[Elliott]

"We could go somewhere? Or not... or yeah."

[Julian]

"Will you be okay?"

[Elliott]

She wasn't sure if he meant would she be okay if they went somewhere or would she be okay alone. Either way, she'd have to be since she always ended up calming down eventually. She just nodded.

[Julian]

"Okay." He had meant if they went somewhere but he didn't know where to go.

((He should totally do what you're supposed to do with OCD and go to wherever has the highest number.))

[Elliott]

"Okay," she repeated after him.

((Hmm?))

[Julian]

"So...where to?"

((OCD is all about control, right? So, what you're supposed to do is things that your OCD highly dislikes until it stops freaking out and live with it. And so my mother's training is telling me to take Matt to a very lethal place. :P))

[Elliott]

"I just moved here," Abby shrugged.

((That makes sense. *nods*))

[Julian]

"Um... Okay, think: where do you think you'd be the least likely to die?"

((Yeah.))

[Elliott]

Abby was confused. "You could die anywhere."

[Julian]

"I know," he snapped.

[Elliott]

Abby's eyes widened with recognition. "The fear of death?"

[Julian]

"Yep."

[Elliott]

"Parks are fairly safe?"

[Julian]

"Eh."

[Elliott]

"Padded rooms?"

[Julian]

He grinned.

[Elliott]

"Unfortunately, my therapist stopped letting me use those as part of my recovery plan, so those might be out."

[Julian]

He looked at her. "For real?"

[Elliott]

"Maybe," Abby blushed. "Well, it wasn't really a padded room. It was just this white room that didn't let any noise in and... I'm going to stop talking now."

[Julian]

"That's...awesome. Dudee. I want a padded room. But no, because I'm supposed to 'acclimate,'" he shrugged and smiled at her.

[Elliott]

"That's not fun," Abby said. "Who wants to acclimate anyways? Bouncing off the walls seems much more awesome."

[Julian]

"Um. I do...?"

[Elliott]

"Okay, yeah. I'm sure you do," Abby blushed again. Way to say something stupid, Abby.

[Julian]

He grinned at her.

[Elliott]

She bit off her right thumb nail and looked at Matt.

[Julian]

He looked at her.

[Elliott]

The hall was completely empty. "If you want to go, should we go before some teacher sees us and orders us back to class?" Abby was calmed down now, but she still didn't feel like staying in school.

[Julian]

He nodded and started walking towards the doors.

[Elliott]

She followed him and shoved out the image of following Brooke and asking why she didn't like me anymore. Matt wasn't like those kids. Matt was different. She was safe with him. Most likely. Hopefully.

[Julian]

He looked at her and smiled a little.

[Elliott]

She wished she had her camera so she could steal his smile, but she'd left it back home when she ran away to Boston.
