Simon accepted the hug that he was given by Sarah's mother, and knew that it would be hard for just the two of them to keep moving forward. After she left wordlessly, Simon walked over to Sarah and saw just how bad she was taking this. He sat in front of her friend in the same cross-legged fashion. He leaned forward and placed a hand on her shoulder. "You didn't deserve this, Sarah. No one should deserve this..." He didn't really know what to say. He hadn't even faced something this bad personally, so he didn't know what he should say or when to say it. All he could really do was be there for her and help her whenever she'd need him.

He knew that because of Mariah's death, he would be visiting her house a lot more often, and would be staying around later than usual. She needed someone next to her, and Simon wanted to be that person. He knew that she could always turn to her boyfriend, but Simon wanted to do this for her personally. He knew her better than anyone due to that fact that they've been friends for years, so he had an idea of what to say and what not to say.
