Scott was so wrapped up in his own head, his own misery, he didn't notice that anyone else was around him. So the hand on his shoulder surprised him and earned the owner a deep growl, "Leave me alone," was all he could say and with a sharp snap of his neck to look at the owner of the hand. It was then that everything softened again, broke again.
He felt like he should say something to his best friend beside him, but Scott didn't have any words. He didn't have any thoughts in his head, everything was just...blank.
