Chapter 9
We went to the garden on the rooftop of our dorm which the ce where we usually hang out
together after 10 pm and above. He said that he needs some fresh air, so maybe this is the right ce
for him to rx his mind.
We sat on the bench beside with each other. Although I feel it really awkward, but I still love being
with him. He totally seemed messed up with and I do really want to help him so much, bring him the
happiness back, because I want the old him that is full with mischief and always happy all the time.
It hurts so much to see him that way, so I decided to start talking after our long silence moment. "I-
I''m really sorry for your loss, Nathan. I''m not sure what to say, but I want you to know that I care. You''re
my friend, Nathan, I really don''t want to see you like this. I know Aunt Karen and Uncle Michael feel

that way to. They must be really unhappy when see you like this. Don''t you feel sorry for them too? Or
do you want them to be sad to see you being like this from up there?"
Nathan''s blue ocean eyes only look down to the ground and he is still remains silent for a while.
"You know Nathan, I lost my mom when I was 5 years old, when she gave birth to my sister, Ivy.
I''m totally broke down at that time, I missed her so much especially the when she lubied me every
night before I went to sleep. It hurts me so much that time until my father came andfort me. Then
realized something, my sister never had once feel my mom''s love so I decided to take care of her with
all the things that my mom used to teach me. I be her mom and also a loving big sister of her.
You''re not alone, Nathan. You have so much friends that care so much for you, Mr Stewart and me
too...care so much about you as my childhood friend. Please, don''t ever think that way, we''re always
here with you."
Both of us were silent for a moment after I said those words to him. It feels a bit awkward moment,
but I have tried my best tofort him as a friend.
I took out my phone to check out the iing message when my phone buzzed inside of my
pocket.
It was from, Nick, my cousin who is like a brother to me.
Nick: Where are you?
Me: At the park.
Nick: With who?
Me: Nathan.
Nick: Okay then.....I heard about him too. Send my regard to him, okay?
Me: Okay, I will.
Nick: I''m going to the mall with Ten Ten, do you want me to get something for you?
Me: No thanks...I''m okay btw.
Nick: Alright, just send text me if you want something.
Me: I will, thanks Brother Nick.
Nick: You''re wee.
I put back my phone into my pocket and think I probably get going now, because I''m starving so
much....well, I didn''t get a chance to buy any foods since I follow Nathan here.
"U-um....Nathan, I think I need to leave you now. I''m sorry if I offense you a bit with the words I
said to you. I really didn''t mean it actually." Without hesitating, I stood up from our bench. I bet he still
needs time alone when he didn''t look at me at once after all I said to him.
But he stopped me by grabbing me on the wrist when I was about to walk away from him. "Thanks
Be," I turned to look at him and he was looking at me with his teary eyes. But this time, the tears
finally fall down right on his cheeks. "For being here with me, and the words you have said to me."
Automatically my hands moved without my permission to wipe his tears off. I feel so stupid at that
time and d too since I managed tofort my friend. To be more surprised, he then stood right in
front of me and gently pulled me into his hug where his chin rested on my left shoulder.
"You words mean a lot to me." He continued. "It means a lot to me."
I really don''t know how to describe what I feel right now, at this moment, but I''m totally surprised
with his sudden action.
His warmthforts me so much, and I wish that I can stop this time, so I could stay in his hug a
little longer. He really do taller than me and I was about his shoulder level only, so that’s why he can
rest his chin on my shoulder. But I don’t mind though, because it feltfy.
I wish that I could confess my feeling to you right now, Nathan.
But I think it might not be a suitable time for this. And besides, you love somebody else and of
course not me. It just one side love that I have to ept it although it is really hard for me.
Sasha is very lucky to have two person to love her at the same time. Sometimes I felt so envy to
her but I shouldn’t because she deserved it since she is way more beautiful than me. I’m just a girl who
doesn’t know about styles and of course a bookworm. No guys will like me of course.
