ivy chuckled,
"you don't have to lie because you feel sorry for me, calum. i don't want your pity."
"no, i think your cute." he said whilst blushing,
"okay." she laughed as the pair sat awkwardly next to each other, picking at the muddy ground benieth them,
"my parents are dead." calum blurted out as ivy looked up, her eyes widening,
"they both died in a car accident last year, i moved here to get away from it. it hasn't worked." he said with a sigh, his vision sticking to the ground.
ivy didn't want to feel pity for calum, but she couldn't help it. she could empathise with him to say the least, and whether calum wanted her empathy or not, it was true and they both know it,
"the doctor diagnosed me with apd for a few months, and minor depression until i decided to move away and cheer myself up." ivy simply nodded in reply. she felt to uncomfortable to say anything, and was worried she would say something wrong,
"you don't have to tell me this stuff calum. you only just met me." she said as calum nodded,
"ivy, you don't get it." he said as she frowned,
"yeah i do, actually." she said as calum sighed,
"i've had no one to talk to for the past year, no one." he said as ivy remained silent,
"i needed to tell someone and- don't take this the wrong way, but you seem like the kind of person i can tell things, like you would understand." he said as she nodded,
"well, as long as your here for me too, i'll be a shoulder to cry on."
