Visiting the past

Claire asked Cole to give her another room since she broke up with Brendon she didn't have any other reason to share with him the same bed and bedroom. Brendon's answer to Claire's breaking up was silence and disappointment. He could barely look her in the eyes, he never spoke to her and not even to his brother. 

His face was sulky and his eyebrows frowned. Claire tried to ignore his facial expression but it was hard to do so.

She felt bad, even if she broke up with him she cared about him a lot. He was one of her closest friends and she always went to him whenever she needed something, someone to speak to, or a shoulder to cry on. 

If he stopped to talk to her forever, she would lose a dear friend. For what? Just because she didn't date him forever?
