Sarah felt her lip quiver and she tried her damndest not to cry. Her heart felt like it shattered into a million pieces, or like it wasn’t there at all. She swallowed again trying to keep the tears at bay. “Y-y-you-“ and then she broke. Tears streamed down her face, she took her hands out of techies grip and covered her face with them. She silently sobbed, unable to make any sort of sound. She opened her mouth to speak, but nothing came out. She knew him loving her was too good to be true.

Techie dissolved into a fit of panicked, incoherent stutters. He tries to take Sarah into his arms but stops himself before they touch. “S-Sarah, h-holy shit! P-please listen to me, p-please don’t cry!” It tears him up to see her like this, but even worse is knowing it’s his fault.
