Broken Together

To repay you

"Tobias wait!" I screamed after him. When he left class he looked at me, with face that just forced me going after me. Like he demanded it.

He stopped suddenly, I almost hit his back. Gods, almost. He looked angry, furious. "Why would you do that?!"

"You're angry?" I confused, on which he just looked much more angrier, like he was talking with idiot.

"Yes of course I am! Why would you lie for me?!"

"I just wanted to be nice. Sometimes it's nice just do something good for one another without any reason."

"You know, what is your problem?" He pointed at me with his finger, like he just wanted to show me where is my place. I wasn't going to let him treat me like that.

"No, maybe you will tell me?!"

"You're getting in issues, that don't concern you! People getting it as annoying, you didn't knew? Stop that and leave me alone already!"

"Amazing, you really can't just say 'thank you'?"

"No, because that would mean, I will own you one. Which I don't."

"So, that's the problem? You just don't want to repay me? Cold."

"Maybe, but you know what?"

"You don't care?" I rolled eyes on him, already annoyed his really now childlike act.

"Exactly. I will give you one of most powerful life rules. Remember that happy, sunshine kid. Always count only on yourself. Elsewhere someday, you notice truly no one cares about you, even most loved ones. Because that's life. People always thinking only about their self, so why wouldn't you? It's just not worth it."

"What that life did to you?" I asked, but I didn't get any response at that. Maybe, I really should just let go.

Right, with my curiosity it's not much possible.

"It's really hard to get rid of you, you know right?" He didn't looked at me, focused at his plate as I just got closer to him. Indeed animal instinct.

"That's right."

"Great. Then pass salt, before you totally will bore me with yours lectures. Maybe, I would be able to kill myself before them with it."

I sighed from uncomfortable situation I got myself into. "Listen, what I did wasn't to get your help, or get something from you. I just wanted be nice for you" He nodded, as he didn't took any notice of me. "Life isn't that black and white."

"Isn't it?"

"It isn't! Besides I understand you a little. You are new in school, probably you're just nervous-"

"Nervous? Are you sure?"

"Okay, right. Nervousness is probably last thing I could say about you. Yet, you probably feeling lonely, aren't you? I know that feeling as well."

"I'm sure you do. Girl with such life, must have it such hard. Even so, you're talking like you're so sure I even deserved that help. Don't you think I might just lie you you?"

"Well, let's say I accidentally saw, what you were doing meanwhile. I understood that-"

He remained focused. He looked at me with wide eyes. "Accidentally? In most dangerous part of city, accidentally?! You spy on me!" He stood up furiously, by the curiosity of crowd, everyone's around remained shut.
