-Haley-
Haley glanced at the text she received and bit her lip. "I need to go, Asher." she said, hopping up. She hugged Josh goodbye, then Asher, holding onto him for slighter longer.
Haley walked to her dorm and answered the text. Haha, defiantly not. What about you? She glanced around her room and changed into shorts, a vest and pulled on her running shoes.
She grabbed some earbuds, put them in and headed out to the forest. Putting her music up loud, she jogged out into the forest. Wanting to get her anger out, she sprinted along the track until she couldn't go anymore.
She was in a clearing and collapsed beside a tree. She curled up her knees and sobbed. She heard footsteps and wiped her face, trying to get rid of her tear-stained cheeks.
She kept her head buried in her knees and sniffed.
-Asher-
Confused to watch Haley leave, I turned to Josh. "So." I said. Josh smiled, chuckling. "I can leave." he said. "No, it's fine." Asher said. "I just want to thank you, for the other day, for being there for my sister. She needs a friend." Asher said to him.
Josh looked at him, and smiled softly. "Of course." he said. Josh was a good guy, it was easy to see that. Although he was a year older, he was friendly. Not like the others who 'weren't allowed to talk to people younger than them.'
(Sorry, sorry. Asher is short.)

Eh, but don't worry about me. What's wrong? If you want to talk about it...You don't have to. Zac quickly finished his message to Haley and shoved his phone in his pocket, then looked at Alaska who was entranced in her favorite band at the moment, Like Pacific, as Akila just strolled along.
Among the trees, he heard what sounded like a soft sob. "Hey, Alaska, I'll be right back, okay?" She slightly nodded, confused. He made his way to the noise, just to see Haley sobbing into her knees. He sat in front of her with a soft sigh and a worried look.
"Haley, hey, what's wrong hon?"
~Alaska~
Alaska sighed and texted Zac saying that she'd be back at the dorm, since she was not too sure on what he was doing. If it was a noise, how did Akila not catch onto it? Her mind was racing with endless possibilities. The one that she settled with is that everything is okay and there's nothing to worry about.
She slipped Akila into the dorm and walked down to Zac's dorm, hoping Asher would be there. Holding her breath for confidence, she knocked three times, just waiting for an answer.

-Haley-
Haley glanced up, "Zac-" her voice cracked and she started crying again. She pushed herself back against the tree, pulling her legs closer to herself and hiding her face. She hated being weak in front of people.
That was Haley's problem. She bottled her emotions up for too long and then broke down. She always though of herself as weak, and she didn't like it. Haley may indeed seem happy and confident, but deep down she wasn't. She didn't want to tell Asher, he would worry about her.
Who was Haley deep down though? She was a young, broken girl. She wasn't happy, she had no confidence, she was self-conscious. She had trust issues, she barely trusted her own brothers.
Haley glanced up at Zac, and saw he was still there. "I'm scared." she whispered, she shivered, regretting not bringing a jacket as a breeze blew over her slightly sweaty body. "I'm lost, I'm broken and I don't know what I'm doing anymore." she whispered again. Her throat was sore.
She laughed, a fake almost sour one. "Why am I telling you this?" she asked, talking more to herself. "You don't care, nobody does." she whispered, just loud enough for herself to hear.
She sucked in a breath and cried silently into her knees again. Her body shivering from the cold.
-Asher-
Josh had left awhile and Asher was walking out the bathroom when he heard a knock. He walked over to the door, and opened it. "Haley?" he asked as he opened it.
He glanced down, "Oh, it's you." he almost said it bitterly, but quickly changed his tone. "Where's Zac?" he asked. "Haley." he whispered under his breath.
"Come inside." he said, stepping aside. Asher frowned, closing the door. His mood had dropped as he realized what was wrong. Something was wrong with Haley, and he didn't pick up on it.
"What can I do for you?" Asher asked, running his fingers through his hair. His shirt lifted a bit, showing some skin above the waistline of his jeans. He pulled it down roughly.
[I like this post. Finally explains more about Haley.]

(Sorry about the late reply, went on a random vacation)
~Zac~
Zac sighed as he listened to Haley's sudden outburst. He did something he was always used to doing with Alaska. He took of his jacket and wrapped it around her and held her close. "Hey, hey. You're alright." He sighed, rubbing her back.
He sat for a little until rain started lightly pouring from the sky above them. "Hey, let's get you inside, alright?"
~Alaska~
Alaska giggled and walked in. "Thank you. Oh! And Haley is alright by the way. She's with Zac. I had a slight feeling you'd be freaking out about her."
She nervously walked around until she finally sat on the couch. "I'm sorry. I just...I don't like being alone and I don't know anyone her but Zach and I've been here since my Freshman year and I was a teachers assistant over here but I never got to know anyone and so I'm pretty much alone if I don't have Zac around and please excuse my rambling. How are you?"

-Haley-
Haley stiffened as Zac held her, she pulled away. "Yeah, let's go inside." she huffed. She pulled off Zac's jacket and tossed it to him, and walked towards the dorms. Not saying a word. She took the steps two by two before bursting into Asher and Zac's dorm.
She looked at Alaska and then Asher. "Asher?" she asked, her voice cracking.
(Short, short. Sorry!)
-Asher-
"Er, ok." Asher said, frowning. "I'm fine. Oh, and you?" he asked, almost forgetting his manners. The door was burst open and he sad Haley, soaked, and behind her was Zac
Asher ran towards Haley and scooped her up, kissing her forehead. "Thanks mate." Asher said, once he saw Zac. He guided her towards the bathroom and put on the shower. Steam filled the room. He let her be and hurried over to her dorm, getting warm clothes and placing it in the bathroom.
He hurried to the kitchen, "Anbody want hot chocolate, coffee or tea?" Asher asked, as he pulled down two mugs for hot chocolate.

"I'm alright." Alaska sighed before Zac and Alaska came in.
Zac slumped next to Alaska with a loud sigh. "You alright?" She quietly asked as Asher attended to Hayley.
"Yeah. It's whatever." He nodded.
She quietly sighed and looked at Asher. "Um, hot chocolate sounds perfect. But I'll be right back. I need to check on Akila." She quickly bounced off of the couch and walked to her dorm as Zac walked to his room to change into dry clothes.
Alaska walked into the dorm before her phone vibrated against her hand. Ignoring it, she made her way to her room to check on Akila before leaving yet again, but not without checking her phone.
Hey. It's been a while. How are you? -Kris
"No, no, no, no, no." She whispered under her breath as she ran to Zac's and Asher's dorm. She quickly opened the door and shut it before sitting in front of it, body shaking.

-Haley-
I showered quickly, and changed into the dry clothes that Asher had gotten for me. I pulled on dry black leggings and a cozy red jersey. She glanced at herself in the mirror and cringed, her minimal make-up was smudged.
She rummaged in Asher's cupboards and smiled at the bag of make-up remover wipes. She had shoved them there a few days ago, just in case she got too lazy. She removed the eyeliner and mascara and threw the wipes in the bin. She rummaged some more to find an old eyeliner and mascara.
She quickly applied it and that was her make-up. She put her clothes in Asher's laundry bag, she'll get them back whenever he does his washing. She walked out the bathroom and offered a small smile to Asher as he passed her a cup of hot chocolate.
He went to the lounge, and Haley snuck into the kitchen. Adding some milk to cool it down. She almost screamed as she saw Alaska on the floor.
Haley put her mug down on the counter. "Alaska, are you okay? Would you like me to get Zac?" Haley asked, sounding worried for a second before her tone flicked back to it's normal tone.
-Asher-
I offered Haley a small smile and headed to the lounge. I set my mug down on the coffee table before jogging to my room, to change my damp shirt. I pulled the tshirt over my head and put on a new one, with a jersey as well.
I went back to the lounge, turned up the heater in the room and put on the tv. I cradled my mug in my hand and took small sips. "Thanks, again." Asher said, when Zac walked in.
He glanced around for Haley, she was probably in the kitchen. Adding more milk to her hot chocolate. He heard voices and smiled slightly, maybe they were talking.
He turned the volume down on the tv, so he could hear Zac more clearly.
((Oh, I'm sorry! Take all the time you need. <3))
