There was enough of that brother instinct that had kicked in to keep him steady enough on his feet and just be there for her right now. He had no idea where her parents were, nor William for that matter, and it was hard to say if Elliot or Liam even knew anything was wrong unless they had heard the sirens. There was some big brother in him though despite the fact that Mary Ann was a little older. "Just doesn't make sense..."
He held onto her for a few more moments before pulling back. The fuse on the bomb of the news really hitting him had been lit, but how long it would be until he actually exploded was difficult to say. Right now everything just seemed frozen. He stuffed his hands in his pockets, one hand resting on the cell phone in there. Something seemed to be going through his mind like a voice only he was actually hearing. "Josie was here last night?" Shit, he was almost sure she had no idea if the voice in his head was coming from where he was really hoping it wasn't.
