"I wasn't talking to you" she said

"So you're talking to other people too?" Dylan asked confused.

"My mom" she said

"Oh- if you're with your mom, I can let you go. I'm sorry, I really had no idea." Dylan insisted, starting to pull his phone back.

"No she's…she's not here" she said

"Oh…" Dylan said softly, starting to get what she was meaning. He wouldn't ask, because he knew that could be painful. "Again, I'm sorry… I had no idea."

"It's fine I never got to know her" she said

"Wait- really?" Dylan asked her softly, sitting up. It was odd… they were so similar, yet so different at the same time. "I… I never really knew my mom either."

"oh I'm so sorry I don't mean to bring up any painful thoughts" she said

"No- you're fine. I just… find it odd." Dylan admitted, his voice soft. As long as he didn't think about it, he would be fine.

"I guess we're more similar than we think" she said

"Guess so…" Even with his trying not to, thoughts started to creep up and he couldn't push them away. He just couldn't let her hear anything in his tone.

"I'm sorry" she said

Dylan forced a smile up, trying to sound in a good mood. "No need to be. I'm alright."

She sniffled "okay good"

"Hey, are you alright?" Dylan asked her softly, his whole act falling apart at the sound of her upset.

She wiped her tears away "Y-Yeah I'm fine" she said

"The tone of voice says otherwise." Dylan whispered, sighing softly. "I can hear you're upset."

"don't worry about it"she said

"If you're sure… I won't keep bugging you." Dylan whispered once more, falling back against the wood of his floor.

" I'm not sure but you can't exactly help" she said

"I can distract you. I can let you talk about it. I can meet you somewhere. I can do a lot, if you need it." Dylan insisted, wondering why he was so willing.

" No really when I talk about my mom I start crying and then I usually need someone to hold me" she said

"It might be awkward, but I can do that too." Dylan whispered, really not wanting her to cry. "I wouldn't have asked if I had known."

" it's not that big of a deal" she sniffled

"You're upset though. I just wanna help…" Dylan replied softly, trying to swallow the lump in his throat.

"I'll be okay Dylan i think" she said mumbling the last part

"Well… let's hope so." Dylan replied, sighing just a bit. "I'm just going to make sure, but you're not with anyone are you? I'm not distracting you from them?"

"No I'm alone" she said

"Gosh that sounds so awful… I feel like a stalker for asking." Dylan laughed weakly, running a hand through his hair.
