"I can see, see the pain in your eyes

Oh believe, believe me and I have tried

No I won't, I won't pretend to know what you've been through

You should know, I wish it was me not you"

~ You Me At Six, Take on the World

Lili was depressed, she hadn't gone out to cast parties in a week and her friends were all starting to worry about her because she barely talked to anyone.

Cole also was worried, Camila and Mads have asked him the previous day if something happened between him and Lili that made her sad and he said that nothing happened and after this conversation, he was really worried, so he decided to build up his courage and go talk to her.

He knocked on her door and waited for a few seconds before she answered and when she did, her eyes were puffy and her hair was messy and she wore a sweatshirt and sweatpants, in his eyes she was still beautiful, but he noticed her messiness.

She had a questioning look when she saw him, and then said: "hi" and he replied to her saying: "everyone was really worried about you, what happened? are you okay?" and he saw that a tear slipped from her eye so before any more tears could slip, he pulled her into a comforting soft hug while she cried in his chest.

Lili finished crying, Cole felt it. He then asked her softly "Do you want to talk about it?" and she said: "6 days ago, I got a call from my mother and--" her tears then started to fall again, he squeezed her hand and she continued "and she told me that my grandfather has passed away, and I didn't even get the chance to say goodbye to him" he then pulled her back into his chest and said softly: "I'm so sorry, Lils. He's in a better place now, He'll be watching you." Lili blushed at the nickname he had called her for 3 years now but stopped when they broke up and said quietly: "thank you". "For what?" Cole asked. "For letting me ruin your shirt, for saying these things, just thanks, I thought you would stop talking to me after the breakup and all that." Cole lifted her head and then cupped her face and said: "Lils, I'm not going to stop talking to you just because we broke up. We're still friends, right?" and she nodded.

Although it hurt him to call them 'friends', Cole said it because he didn't want to tell her just yet that he still had feelings for her, that he never stopped, and Lili too, when she heard 'friends', she was hurt but was also happy that at least they will still be in each other's lives, if not as a couple, then as friends and co-stars.
