• "Because." I said as I lowered my head more.

    "Because is not a good reason." he said. I kept me head down so I don't have to see that amazing smile of his. "Let me ask you something." I look at him through the screens of my hair. "What if you die right now? What about you're friends and family? How will they feel?'

    "They wouldn't care." I whispered. "My friends would be too preoccupied with they're loves of their life. My parents fight all the time so they wouldn't notice. Nobody will notice me gone."

    "Oh, I'm sure that they will." He leaned in closer to my face. I turned my head the other way. "If they don't notice then they aren't you friends or family are they?"

    "No." I sighed.

    "Then why do hang out with your friends if you feel that way?"

    "I don't want to be alone." I closed me eyes. "But even if I don't want to be alone, they shouldn't bother noticing me anyways."

    "And why not?" he asked.

    "My friends have their own lives so they shouldn't be wasting all of their time with me." I said. I could feel betraying tears building up. "They don't need to. I've always been told that I'm in their way from what they want to do. So since I don't want to be that kind of person anymore, I rather leave my friends alone."

    "So what about you?"

    "What about me?" I asked him.

    "Do they know how you're feeling?"

    "No." I sighed. "And they shouldn't. But even though I like my friends, I also envy them. I envy them all."

    I pull my legs to my chest so that I feel like a ball. The first of the brtraying tears fall from my eyes. Why am I telling this stranger I've just met everything that I've been bothering me for a long while? Is he going to do anything about it? No.

    "Sounds like you want someone in your life." he said.

    I look at him right away to see the soft gentle smile turn into a sparkling smile. Why is he looking at me like that?
