Why Here?

Chapter 5

His eyes filled with sadness as if he was sad I didn't understand. "Because. You were the only person here who knows who am, and still treated me normal. Everyone else here turned their head like I wasn't standing not two feet away. You actually helped me." He proceeded "I can't help but think that if you weren't here, I probably would've done something really stupid.." My eyes widened "no! You can't think like that. If you start to have those thoughts they take over.. You can't control yourself after." I spoke from experience. "Yeah... Kinda to late for that speech." He said putting his hands on his head running his long white fingers through his golden locks with that touch of dirty brown hair poking through the roots. "Uhm... May I see what you wrote?" I asked softly. He looked up at me and nodded his head slowly handing me his journal. I opened it to the first page. The first thing I saw 'Lennox.'

Niall's Journal

Day 1

'Lennonx... Wow.. I don't know what it is about her but she hasn't left my mind. I mean all she did was give me a journal and tell me the basics of being here, but there's something else. Something I can't put my finger on. Maybe she's just like me or maybe she's the complete opposite. Her smile was sweet but sad.. Why would a girl like her be in the horrid place? There could be nothing wrong. Anyone would see her and think she's perfect. I bet she is.'

My eyes spread across each word, taking in every detailed written in black ink. The letters having some bounce to them. I tilted my head up to him "im not perfect.. Far from it."
