Brian continued to sleep through the night, though the tears still kept coming. But after  a few hours during that night, the tears did stop. Even though he was still sad and struggling on the inside. It was just something any human would do, only for him, it felt it was much worse for that matter. It was just a matter of time for him, a matter of time on how long he would last out here. In a deserted looking town, and the only person he had ever seen was Katherine. Though he felt that he could not let others care for him, as it would be another person ripped away from him like everyone else. Another person to add to his already wounded heart and mind. Enduring something like this, was very hard for him, especially at a young age when family was ripped apart. Now, he was just trying to survive on his own while being a respectable person about it.<br/><br/>The morning sun had soon rose over the mountains, sending warmth throughout the town of Stone Ridge. The sunlight did not reach the back room though. As the only warmth he was receiving now was from the blankets given to him last night. Slowly, he started to open his eyes, his vision was blurry but it would clear. His eyes were a little red from shedding tears, and he felt a hand holding his. He looked down to stare at his hand as it was being held by none other than, Katherine. He tried to sit up a bit, elevate himself if he could. Brian reached over to the table to grab his necklace, his Hope Lock and putting it around his neck, clipping it into place. He sighed, not even caring much about the holding of hands. In a way, he knew that he needed it, he needed it for a reason. Brian glanced at Katherine, staring at her for a moment, his eyes scanning her face as if to search for something but found nothing.
