[ Scott really wishes that sentence starting with 'I...' had ended differently.
At least Allison won't have to carry her stuff far since her room is just down the hall, but there's so much of her things in Scott's room, it's going to take her longer than a minute to pack, as much as she might wish she could do it in a second and leave quickly. ] I'll wait outside while you pack.

She'd be better off doing it alone, especially when Scott suddenly feels close to tears himself. ]

And before Allison might protest that he doesn't have to leave, Scott is already gone from his room, shutting the door behind him. He sits with his back against the wall beside his door, Greenberg on his lap. Scott strokes him to distract himself from the heaviness in his chest. ]
