Sabrina can't even quite push through the shock to cry again, and trembles in his arms as she shifts to be able to speak. "I still don't understand," she whispers. "He told me he-- he was tired of me. He broke up with me." The whisper is tiny, numb.

Rage washes through him, similar to what he'd felt when David had broken up with Rosie but hotter, this time, so much hotter, because it's Sabrina who's sobbing in his arms. "Nick?" He frowns, trying to puzzle through how that can possibly be a thing that's happened. "I...I don't understanding, Brina. He did what?"

"I don't understand either," she whispers, still in that tiny, broken voice. "I went to see him and he was-- he was mean, and I argued with him and he broke up with me. He's tired of me, and of my- my drama."

She pulls in another breath and it's a great gasping sob.

"I don't understand."

None of that sounds right. He's seen Nick with Sabrina, the way that he lights up when she's there, and none of that fits with the image in his head.

"I..." He can't say anything to make it better. All that he can do is hold onto her. "Come on. Let's go inside."

Sabrina lets him move her, so long as she has hold of him in some way, wherever he will, whether to the couch or all the way to her room. Apparently calmed or relieved in some way that Charlie's here, Salem has moved to a windowsill, where he can watch the road with a lashing, thumping tail.

It's somewhere around here that Sabrina comes apart, all the pieces she'd been holding in place tumbling down, and she's crying so hard she can barely breathe.

If Charlie notices how clearly pissed off Salem is, it's at the back of his mind, as he guides Sabrina through the house and into the relative safe haven of her bedroom. Gently, he brings her to sit down on the bed with him. He holds her while she weeps, stroking slow circles against her back with one hand.

He's got plenty that he needs to say to Nick Scratch, but that'll wait.

She's not sure how long that first storm of tears lasts, only that she's suddenly so tired she can barely move-- not that it stops her from crawling into Charlie's lap and pressing her face into his neck. He's so good, she thinks vaguely, and takes a long, slow breath.

"I-- I should have seen it coming, but I didn't," she whispers. "I still don't."

[teenagerenegade]

Charlie curls around her, one hand cradling the back of her neck, knees up to pull her in tighter against him.

"Why would you have seen it coming?" he says. "It doesn't make any sense."
