Clay had been your best friend for as far back as you both could remember. Remember how Bryce had met Justin in elementary school? That was you and Clay in a nutshell.

You were worried about him, and when he tried to push past you, you grabbed him and forced him to look at you. Your eyes went wide when you saw the bruises and a giant gash on his forehead. Clay tried to push you away from him, but your tight grip on his chin made him give up and huff in irritation
