Allen knew he probably shouldn't have done what he did. She might not want or even be that type of person, but Allen at least didn't want her to see the way he was. At least for the moment.

Allen should know and understand at this point that those he considers friends are going to react in such ways. To want to help him when he is in trouble. But it never dawned on the other until now and he really didn't know what to do next.

He moved to wipe his eyes briefly, finally able to let go at the same time so he could see her face to face and have it slowly dawn on him that he just did that in public. He will probably be embarrassed later, but for now, he was focused solely on the other.

"You're just being a friend right...It's what friends do...I should know that honestly but...I...always push them away instead... Because...Maybe..." he said pausing for a moment. What was he trying to say? That he pushed people away because he worried being around him wouldn't be a good thing? That odds are people get hurt around him or that he causes nothing but problems for others?

"I'm sorry... For making this a downer." He soon clapped his hands together, suddenly seeming like he had perked right up. "how about I get us something to eat."
