You're Not Alone

The next day, we didn't have work. I decided to go to the park just to relax. I sat on the swing and listened to some music on my headphones for a while, when suddenly, Blitzø sat next to me on another swing.

He sat there silently for a few minutes, barely swinging. Suddenly, he turned to me and said, "Paigey, is it okay if I ask you a question?"

I removed my headphones from my ears and out them around my neck. "Sure."

"Do you think I'm a bad person?" Blitzø looked down. He seemed really upset. I could tell he was having another bad day.

"You're not a bad person. Why would you say that?" I asked. I have never had someone vent to me this way before. I wasn't ready for what he was about to say next.

"I feel like I am. I don't have Stolas anymore. . . My dad was abusive, I've had a friendship and a relationship driven away, and my sister fucking left me. My daughter always fucking disrespects me, every single day. My mom is dead, so I have no one. . ." He fell silent again. He wiped his eyes with the arm of his sweater.

"You have me, and you have your friends from work. I'm sure they'd do anything to help you. I'm always here, too." I stopped for a minute, then spoke again.

He began to cry a lot. "Stolas hates me now. . . I'd be better off dead!" he said as he removed his sweater, putting it in his lap.

"No! You're not gonna do that! I'm here to protect you from anyone who tries to hurt you. You're okay now." I reached out for his hand. He flinched.

He was still crying. At this point, he wasn't swinging. He was kicking the mulch, sadly.

I suddenly got up and walked behind him. I gently hugged him from behind.

His eyes widened. He sits there silently as I hug him. He didn't flinch. He didn't try to push me away. He relaxed.

I speak up again. "You're not alone."
