IF I COULD FIND MY SOMETHING TO BURN OUT THESE FEELINGS

JUNE 28TH

Austen had been released from the hospital a few days prior and he was being watched by Elias like a hawk. Elias had set a timer in both his and Austen's phones for when it was time for him to take his medication so that way Elias would make sure he was taking them and not flushing the pills like the twenty-five-year-old had been doing before. He had also told Sam to set an alarm as well, in case Elias needed him to check on Austen, even though Austen didn't want anything to do with Sam at that moment. Elias and Sam had both agreed that Austen couldn't be left alone.

Austen sat in his dorm room along with Elias. Sam had sat outside the room, his back against the door. It was a common occurrence now, as Austen would refuse to let Sam come in even though Elias had consistently told him he needed to talk it out with Sam. Sam was upset about the situation but he was just glad that Austen was okay. Elias was annoyed that Austen was being stubborn but he was glad that Austen had calmed down and was slowly beginning to adjust back to his normal mood spectrum.

"You've got to talk to him sometime," Elias said, bringing Austen out of his thoughts. The boy looked over at the poodle and sighed.

"I'm still hurt," Austen said solemnly.

"You don't even know if he was with Chloe or not," Elias said. "It's probably just a big misunderstanding, I mean, you've overreacted to something like this so many times before."

"But it's different this time," Austen croaked, tears brimming in the corner of his blue-green eyes.

"Austen, you don’t know," Elias said, placing his hand on the natural blue's shoulder comfortingly. Austen opened his mouth to respond, but Elias quickly cut him off, knowing what he was going to say. "Her tweets probably mean nothing."

"Sam liked and retweeted some of them, though," Austen retorted, looking at Elias. Elias sighed and shook his head.

"Maybe you should take a break from social media. But you know what will fix this? Talking to him," he said again, hoping it'd get through to Austen that the only way he was going to be able to gain closure and cope with the situation was to just talk it out with Sam. "It's not going to do any harm, only good."

"You don't know that," Austen sniffled. "I could find out that he really did screw her and I mean, I guess in a way that'd be my fault, like with Za-"

"No, no no, no," Elias said quickly, looking at Austen sternly. "You are not bringing Zack up right now. What Zack did to you was not okay, he had absolutely no right to hurt you or abuse you in the ways that he did. That is in no way your fault, Austen. Sam is not Zack."

"I feel just as bad as I did back then," Austen murmured.
