FIFTEEN
The ride was quiet. Starr was trying her hardest not to 'think too much'. She sat quietly, her head resting on her elbow, her gaze fixed to the road. She was awfully quiet, Chris felt it was better to stay quiet also. He didn't want to ruin anything at all. He felt they had a great night ahead of them, and Starr's mood was very unpredictable, so he didn't want to ruin it with the slightest thing.

They had been there for a while, simply enjoying their presence and silence, until Magnus decided to break it off. "How is he?" he had asked Valentine, who quickly picked on, then sighing."Not that good, honestly," Valentine replied Magnus. "Even though he keeps on saying he's fine, whenever I ask him, he still acts like he isn't. He doesn't go out anymore, won't pick his calls or reply to any messages. He looks like a person who isn't taken care of, in any way." He sighed. "He also won't talk about what happened."Magnus felt his heart sunk, while Valentine felt extremely down. They both wanted to help Chris, but they both didn't know how to. "She's so scary, I can't even walk up to her and talk to her," Magnus said with a sigh, snuggling Magnus the moreMagnus chuckled, adjusting himself to a comfortable state in Va
