Christopher

---

I sat with my head turned up at the sky for a few minutes when I heard someone through the trees. I look over to them and a boy was looking back at me. He quickly looks away but I stand up and sit on the bench next to him.
"What are you looking at?" I ask him harshly.
He mumbled something about noises but I'm not really listening. "I was thinking to myself."
I turn to him, "I was thinking to myself too." I say.
He looks at me, "Really? What about?"
I tell him about Savannah, missing out the sex part.
He tells me about himself.
"Nice to meet you Scorpio, I'm Christopher. Christopher Herondale." I shake his hand and we go back to being silent. I look back at the dark clouds and my thoughts drift back to Savannah. I wonder if she's woken up yet? Has she noticed I'm gone? I hope she's not angry.
Maybe I should go back...
No.
Yes.
No.
Yes, I'm going.
No, I can't.
Yes, I feel too bad.
No, don't feel bad, you're not meant to feel anything.
But what if something happens to her?
She's a Shadowhunter she's perfectly capable of taking care of herself.

Don't let this make you weak, Christopher.
I shouldn't let myself feel anything.

Arrrrgh! This is doing my head in!
I put my head in my hands.
"Hey are you okay?" Scorpio asks.
"I don't know." I whisper.
