"Expert or not, I can't tell you how to cope with such a personal thing." Chris shrugged his shoulders. "We all react differently, think and feel differently. What upsets one person might not affect the next person. How you cope is entirely up to you and what you take away from the experience."
Teenage years, always so filled with drama and world ending disasters. Thank God, Casey never had these experiences when she was younger.
"But if I was to say I would expect to see you confused, hurt, feeling isolated and generally uncomfortable in your own skin.

It's understandable if you don't feel like you can trust anyone at the moment or you don't want to talk about it because it is such a sensitive subject, especially if you weren't ready for it to come out. Mostly? My concern is on you, Luke. How you're dealing with everything, what can be done to help, if you feel you can't reach out to anybody else."
A slight pause followed by, "If you could pick just one thing to put right, what would it be and why?"
