"Jaiden!" He called, his dark hair messed up. He was wearing a simple large grey t shirt and black jeans, and no shoes; just socks. After a bit, he finally caught up, and limped over to Jaiden. "Hey! Hey just-just breathe, okay? Breathe." He instructed to attempt to calm him down.

jaiden broke down, sobbing quietly. he trembled violently, heart racing within his chest. as leigh arrived, the cuban flinched, moving further from the other boy. he curled in upon himself, half hidden in shadows that came from the darkness outside. jaiden took a shaky breath, refusing to look at leigh once he managed to stop crying. his arms tightened around his frame, making him seem small and vulnerable. he bit his lip and glanced at leigh, only his green eyes visible. "you're limping," he observed, nostrils flaring. shadows danced among jaiden's face, contorting its image as cars and other things passed by. he sniffled, clearing his throat and frowning. the boy wiped his cheeks and turned to where half of his tear-stained face was visible.
