"Come in." He said after he opened the front door to his house and gestured me for entering his home. "Welcome to my home." He smiled and walked in next after I finally step a foot inside of his house. I examined the interior of his house. This is a kind of house we can't ever afford, this is actually my first time to step inside such a luxurious house. Even the smell, it smells so rich. I snapped out of my thoughts when he called me from somewhere, I followed where the voice is coming from and Harry was in the living room.

"You have such a nice house." I said gently as I see him sit on the couches in their living room. He gestured me to sit near him and I quickly did. He coughed and sat formally as he pointed at the coat I'm still wearing. "Oh, totally forgot. Sorry. I was too mesmerized by your home."

"Good thing you thought of meeting me?" He started the topic about it. It was totally unexpected, I really didn't want to at first but I want a stranger to know it first before I say it in front of my mom, but I'm sure at that time I won't cry anymore.

"Sorry, if it was so unexpected. I'm sorry if I bothered you for anything." 

"No, no. It's totally fine, I don't have to do anything anyways." He quickly reassured me and change his reaction to kind one. I sadly smiled at him when I take a good look at him and looked away immediately after remembering what happened earlier, my smile instantly vanished. "What's wrong?" He patted my shoulder as I felt my eyes start to water as I was thinking about Peter and how he felt after that happened. A single droplet of tears escaped my eye and wiped it anxiously.

"Sorry, I just..." I sighed as the tears began to escape continuously. "I just really need a friend right now." I looked at him full of shame to myself. I pity myself right now, I shouldn't have come back to Peter after my father has died. It's my fault why he's so confused with his life right now.

"Do you want me to hear your thoughts?" He asked reassuringly.

"If you wouldn't mind, I guess that's the reason why I'm here." I laughed as I wiped my tears. I looked at him and he was doing it too, he might be waiting for me to continue as he gave me a sign to do so. "How do I start this... uh... my boyfriend-" I started as he continued to nod his head for me to go on. "-he broke up with me... earlier."

"Why?"

"I..." There was a moment of silence as I got lost, I don't know what to say next, I can't say that my boyfriend was Peter Parker the Spider-Man of New York. "Let's just say he was the one who caused someone's death." After I told him that, he was a bit taken aback.

"Is he some sort of criminal?" I hooked my head no.

"No, not like a criminal. He was the one who caused someone's death, accidentally. He said to me that... he promised to the person that dies to stay away from me. Which he did, but he eventually gave up and came back to me. And earlier this night, he told the same reason but this time, I was the one who broke up with him." After looking mid-air while telling my story, I finally took a glance at the guy beside me who was also out of the blue and imagined the things I have said.

"Wow." He laughed slightly and shake his head once, then he looked at me. "I mean... by the story you told me. It sounds like he really loves you and he wouldn't take the risk and wait for someone to hurt you like how the person that died experienced the pain. By any chance, did your boyfriend see the other person die?" I instantly nodded after he asked me that question. He slowly nodded his head too. "He must've been traumatized." He halted and looked at me again. "If you don't mind me asking again. Who was the person that died?" I looked at him sadly before I talked.

"My father." Tears still kept coming out of my eyes while I tried to fight back the sobs inside me. I looked on the opposite die of where he was sitting and started crying my heart out, sobs starting to come out silently as I was full of shame in front of him, this is not a good impression towards him, he's not even my friend. Why did I even call him, I should've minded my own business. 

I tensed when my arms began to wrap around me. I pulled away slightly and looked at Harry, but he immediately pulled me back to his hug as he caresses my back. "I understand you're overwhelmed, it's alright. Just let it all out so you'll be able to feel better after." I was shocked but then I just let myself melt into his embrace, I needed this just like right now, only today and tomorrow I promise to myself that I'll be able to feel much better like he said.
