Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've gotten busy with other things. Also, this was supposed to be longer but I decided to split it since I already had taken a long time to write it, I didn't want you to wait longer.
••••Kelly's POV••••
When Matt told us about Seth's parents, I took off after him. I felt so bad that we continuously spoke about heroes and I had completely forgotten about Seth's parents.
"Seth, wait up!" I call after him, seeing him down the hall. He didn't stop. If anything, he sped up. "Please, Seth! Wait!" I call again. He slows down enough for me to catch up. Thank the lord..we both know I can't catch him.
We walk side by side in silence for a bit.
"I'm sorry.." I mumble, "For your loss and for talking about heroes so much.." I apologize, biting my lip.
He doesn't respond.
"None of us meant to." I add.
No response.
"Do you want to talk about it?" I ask.
He stops walking and so do I. "Not right now." He mumbles.
"Then come over my house after school. We can talk then." I tell him.
He looks over at me, "..okay..." He mumbles.
The bell rings.
"I'll see you later, Seth. We'll meet at your locker." I say, smiling. He nods and quickly walks off to class. I frown, disliking seeing Seth upset. He'll be okay..
*********************
Once the bell rang, I was out of class before you could say 'mozzarella'....sorry, I'm hungry.
I walk to my locker first, putting my books away that I didn't need to take home with me.
"Hey Kelly!" Reese greets, walking over.
"Hey Reeses Puffs! I hope you don't mind, I'm walking home with Seth today." I say, shutting my locker.
"Is it because of what happened at lunch?" He asks, cocking an eyebrow.
"Yep." I pop the 'p', locking my locker. "I felt bad and I would rather him talk to someone instead of bottling his emotions." I smile at Reese.
"...did you have health today?" He asks, raising an eyebrow.
"Rude." I glare at him, "I could be doing this because I care about him." I tell him. "But yeah I did and I hated every minute of it - but that's not why I'm helping him!" I defend myself.
"Alright, alright, I get it." He chuckles, "Doesn't he have practice for track today?" Reese reminds me.
"Oh yeah..I guess I'll wait for him." I shrug it off.
"Okay.." Reese mutters, "I guess I'll head home now. See you tomorrow, Kelly." Reese smiles and waves as he heads to the school doors.
"Peace Reese!" I gasp, "That actually rhymed!" I exclaim a second after. I hear Reese laugh before the door shuts behind him.
I walk outside to the track, taking a seat on the bleachers. I look around at all of them, noticing Seth talking to a few of his track mates. He finally notices me and stops talking so I smile and wave at him.
His track mates look over to see what he was staring at, when they see me, they turn back to Seth to playfully punch him. I just giggle and shake my head.

Action"Don't you like saving the city? It all seems super cool, you and the others must love it." He looked out over the view of the city from my window, sitting on my window seat. "Sometimes us heroes need breaks, did you know that?" He sounded stressed...
