~~Shane~~
Mrs. Nicki came back with a sigh. "Colby dear, who do I need to call? I need to call a guardian," she said, holding a notepad to write the number down.
I saw Colby hesitate. "U-Um... I-I..." he stuttered, looking worried.
"Come on, I need to call someone," she said, sighing.
"I don't... I don't have a guardian..." Colby whispered, looking down.
"You don't have any guardians?" she asked, confused, "Where's your mom and dad?"
I saw Colby's body stiffen. "U-Um... My dad... he left years ago... and my mom... s-she's in the hospital..." I could clearly see a tear drop down his cheek and onto the bed sheets even though his head was lowered.
I guess I acted on instinct, but I sat on the bed next him and pulled him into my arms, holding him tightly. I felt him freeze in shock, but slowly relax, his tears soaking my shirt. I pet his head gently as he cried softly, clinging to me like a little kid. He felt so small and fragile in my arms, like a toddler who just fell off the swing or a newborn baby. I wanted to protect him with my life, and never let him feel this way ever again.
He soon stopped crying, looking up at me a little. I could see all theboxed up emotion overflowing in his beautiful eyes. He just wanted someone to hold him. Someone to be there for him and tell him it'll be alright.
"It's okay, Colby. It's okay to cry," I told him, stroking his cheek, "You're not alone. I'm here."
I watched him as he searched my eyes, blinking back tears. "Shane..." he whispered, looking slightly happy, "T-Thank you..."
I smiled a little. "No problem. Now you can't push me away anymore. I want to help you, Colby. I can't stand by and watch you suffer. You passed out at lunch. You need help."
Colby's eyes watered. "I-I know..." he finally admitted, "It's just so hard... All my family is almost gone... What else do I have to live for?"
I almost let it slip, five little words, but I held it back. I said instead, "Hey, don't say that. Live in memory of you sister. Live for your mom. They love you and want you to live."
I saw Colby smile slightly. "You're right..." he said softly. Looking away, I sighed. Five little words.
You can live for me...
