"It's alright," Toby said, "in a time like this, what you're doing is normal...heck I might as well be crazy that I haven't started acting like you...hell I've been through stuff as bad as you, and look at me...nothing." he felt somewhat sad admitting this, he was usually this detached from things, he didn't know why. Maybe it was because he'd been bullied in school all the time, or the fact his mother left, or some other factor he couldn't think of yet. The result was the same though, it left Toby a man who could think instead of fear, one who didn't use his emotions to drive his actions, but pure logic. Granted, a girl like Ashley usually was an exception to this, but otherwise he did not like to let his emotions get in the way of what he did.<br/><br/>Toby just scooted close to her, hoping the body language told her that he was here for her, and that if she had anything else to say or do, he was here.
