My heart started to beat a little faster. Was there a chance he liked me? Is there something going on? Why would he want to tell me now at this time? There's nobody near us. Did he want us to be alone? A sudden breeze caused me to pull my hoodie tighter. All I could hear was the smooth flow of the water and my nervous breathing. The air felt tight. His head was hanging low. Then I heard a quiet whimper. Was he.. crying? "Are you alright?" I put my hand on his shoulder. Then he broke. His tears flowed out of his fragile eyes. The salty droplets of  sorrow fell onto the pebbles below making them a darker color. "I don't wanna be here anymore!" he started wailing even louder. He's... suicidal. How did I not notice this earlier? He seemed so happy at school. Maybe I've been focusing too much on my crush for him instead of him. "I-I'm sorry.. did I do something wrong? I'm sorry I didn't realize this before-"

"n-no.. it's not you. it's my family. They don't understand me. My dad thinks I'm a failure. My mom has always neglected me. It's only been getting worse now. My value of life has been decreasing.. I just don't think I can do it anymore." He confessed. My heart sank. Does he really want to be gone? He'll be gone.. forever. My eyes got damp. I gulped before I came closer and wrapped my arms around his tiny body. He's skinnier than I thought. He's probably been starving himself.

"Sock.. I don't know if this would affect you in any way but... I think I like you.. a lot." I felt his body pull away from mine, and we started into each others dimly lit eyes for what felt like an eternity. All I could hear was our breathing and the water. The breeze was blowing my hair and giving me goosebumps. Sock broke the moment. He stood up and looked at the moon. Oh no... I shouldn't have said that.. "I.. I'm sorry I didn't know if that was the right thing to say.." My heart felt like it was sinking deeper and deeper into my lungs. Did I make him upset? "No... it was the perfect thing to say." He said in a voice I've never heard before. It sounded more serious. Confident. He turned around and he made 3 cold points of contact with me.
