His back profile is the first thing I saw the moment I entered his room.
It always seemed so laid back and calm. It described him well.
Jay has always been an optimist. When you get to know him you'll understand that he'd do anything to make one smile
He's been that way to me. He was the one that shined in my days of sorrow and loneliness
The moment he asked me to play with him that day I moved in, he became my star, but he never knew.
My mistake was that it never really occurred to me that sometimes stars do flicker and falter, and so was he.
"I was conversing with your parents earlier, I just had to get something" he explained once he saw my presence
"It's been a while since I had a good talk with your parents" he laughed
Why are you pretending to be strong? There's no need for that. There's no need for a smile to cover up your pain
"How can you" I paused as I felt my tears threatening to fall
"H-how can you smile and act like you're okay"
He paused for a moment as I saw his smile waver.
"So you've heard," he says slowly as I saw his tears welling up.
I felt a tear rolling down my cheek as I nodded slowly.
He took a step back and held onto his desk for balance before he fell to the ground, his knees giving up on him.
I made my way towards him and wrapped my arms around him.
I hear his painful cries and I can't help but cry along with him
He's been crying and hurting by himself all this time.
I placed a hand on his head, caressing it, hoping it would give him comfort, while the other was on his upper back.
"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry for not realizing" I spoke
"Ave there's nothing to be sorry about"
I let go to take a better look at him. I locked eyes with him.
His eyes were shining from his tears, his nose red, yet he still looked so pretty. He's a pretty crier.
"Why didn't you tell me? Why didn't you give me the chance to be there for you?" I cried, my heart breaking
"I couldn't find it in me to tell you. My father's condition always pained me whenever it was being talked about" he spoke in between his cries
"I never wanted that pain to clash with the feeling of serenity that I feel whenever I'm with you" sobs were heard as he spoke.
I couldn't say anything, I just wiped the uncontrollable tears that rolled down his cheeks.
I hugged him once again.
"He was such in bad shape" he cried
"If only I can hug him one last time-" he stopped, not being able to find his words by the overwhelming feeling.
