When Jennifer ran past him toward the bedrooms, he could tell right away that something was wrong. Her pace was fast, frantic...panicked. His heart started to drop, a chill taking a grasp of his innards. He could have sworn that the brief glimpse he got of her face showed a wetness or glossiness in her eyes. It was when<i>he</i>started to laugh that Diego knew what had happened. Now that Jennifer girl would never speak to him, all she'd see was<i>him</i>. A hoarse, gutteral laugh boomed around him as it reveled in the horror that it had caused with a mere glance. It made Diego feel powerless. As soon as the others found out about his companion, they would shun him as well. Icy fear sprouted in his chest before he decided that maybe going to his room was not the best decision. He needed to apologize, explain.<br/><br/>Diego followed Jennifer quietly and watched as her condition degraded from watery eyes, to stray tears, to small streams. She entered her room with the slam of the door and as Diego got closer he could hear her muffled sobs.<i>He</i>twinged with delight as the fearful, overwhelmed sobs of his victim reached him while all Diego felt was a deep sense of shame. He should have been more careful. He could have spared her<i>his</i>horrible presence. As he stood outside her door, he suddenly felt at a loss as to what to do next. All he could do was listen to her crying and feel his shame fester within his body. He raised a shaky fist as he tried to muster up the courage to knock. Diego's fist stayed inert as he found himself losing his nerve. Then<i>he</i>took it into his own hands, taking a chance to cause distress within<i>his</i>host. Grabbing Diego's fist,<i>he</i>forced it against the floor twice, knocking and throwing Diego out in the open. Diego sputtered and panicked as he tried to think of words, anything, to say.<br/><br/><span style="color: SlateGray"><b>"Uhhh...excuse me?"</b></span><br/><br/><i>He</i>was thrown into cruel hysterics as Diego mentally chastised himself for such a ridiculous choice of words.<div class="messageTextEndMarker"> </div>
