" It should've been me" she said
"Don't say that." he said, shaking his head. "You were already dead for a whole month and just got back. I don't know what happened but I don't think there was anything you could do."
Betty got up and went to her room a month passed and Betty didn't say a word she only took care of her daugher and now she stood her brothers funeral had just ended
Lysander shook his head as she left. He tried to reach out to her during the month but didn't seem to have much luck. During that month he helped out with Laura-Beth but he also bought a small house for his parents. He now stood by his wife's side at Zach's funeral along with Henry who had come to offer moral support for Betty.
Betty looked straight ahead no emotion no sadness happiness . . . no love
Lysander was hurt by how empty Betty seemed. Normally, she was so strong but she didn't hide how she felt. He cautiously reached his hand to hold hers.
She pulled her hand away before it even brushed against hers
He sighed softly and let his hand drop to his side.
Betty started to walk out since everyone was gone
Lysander followed after her shortly followed by Henry.
She walked outside watching the cars pass
”Want me to try to talk to her?” Henry asked softly.
Lysander shrugged a little. ”You can try. I haven't had much luck.” he said. ”I’m thinking about talking to the rest of her family. See if they can offer any help.”
Betty stood just staring
Henry nodded and walked over to Betty. ”Hey, Bets.” he greeted softly.
Lysander headed over to attempt to mingle with her brothers.
Betty didn't say a word
Henry let out a soft breath at her silence. ”I’m sorry for your loss. I know I never really met Zach but I think I remember you telling me a little about him.”
Betty still didnt talk
”Come on, Bets. Say something.” Henry said, placing his hand on her back.
she nudged him off
”Bets, we're all worried about you.” Henry said. ”I know you did this when you saw that me and Tyler would end up together.”
Betty looked as the cars passed
Henry bit his lip for a moment before quickly turning Betty to face him and wrapped her in a tight hug.
Betty pushed him off hard
”You can't shut your family out forever, sister.” he told her firmly, gently gripping her arms. ”You have to talk to somebody or accept the fact that we'll always be here for you.”
She pushed Henry off her
Henry quickly grabbed her again and held her against his chest. ”I’m not letting go of you until you start talking.”
Betty lined up and punched him in the jaw
Henry had to let go as he stumbled from the hit. ”Ya know… If I could; I’d probably spit out some blood cause of that.” he panted a little, rubbing the sore spot.
Betty focused back on the cars
Henry sighed and straightened up again, hoping this idea would work. ”Before I do anything else, I just want to say I’m sorry and please don't hate me for this.” he begged before quickly picking up Betty and flying straight up.
