April pulled the coat tighter over her shoulders, hoping it would keep in the warmth she needed. It was so cold outside and what she was wearing couldn’t really be considered the right thing to wear in this weather.
April found herself having to lean against Blaine, the light in the room causing her to squint though that somehow didn’t seem to help the way her head felt at all. Walking didn’t feel too good either but at least he had one arm around her even if that felt kind of weird. She glanced at him, shrugging the shoulder that wasn’t holding onto him for support. “Dunno, just felt like a good place to go. Kinda homey.”
Glad that she kept hold of the coat like he told her to, Blaine walked alongside her giving to give her what reassurance he could by giving her a light hug. Whatever steps the night before she’d taken to get here here must’ve been some rough ones considering she didn’t look like she was aware of where she might’ve woken up. It pulled at his heartstrings to see someone in the state she was in but he couldn’t keep himself from wondering..why and how she ended up like this.
Rock bottom had to be sleeping on a piano bench in the chorus room of the high school you made big plans to break out of while you were stuck there.
He didn’t think it was in his place to ask. So? He tried going about things this way. Seemed easier. Saved her some face and saved him treading where he might be told to mind his own business. Or that he wouldn’t understand. “Yeah. That makes sense.” Nodding as he supported her, Blaine gave the room a look and was immediately glad that they were so early that only the cafeteria ladies were in the lunchroom. They could grab their food and go before anyone was the wiser. “Think you’ll be sticking around for a while again? Or is this just a passing through on the way to better and brighter things?” He, sort of, already could guess the answer to what he asked as a means to see where she was at with this whole situation. “And are you a waffles or pancakes kinda person?” Both? Maybe she should have both.
