HIDING THE TRUTH

HELPING ISNT EASY

Helping isn't easy at all. After finding out about my brother I felt bad, I wanted to help him but how? I had to talk to him. Right now.

I walk to his room. This time somebody's inside. I knock and the door opens. The ginger looks at me.

Akito. I'm sorry.

About what? Nothing happend.

About the fight we had. And just about us. Not being that close anymore...

Hm. Okay. Cool .

What do you mean?! Ugh. I'm sorry okay?

Okay.

And then our conversation stopped. We didn't talk we just stood there. I wanted to talk about so much more. I always thought after his dream would come true, he wouldn't be sad. More like happy.

But now he's like me. A disappointment. The doorbell broke the silence.

I open the door putting on a smile. It's akito's friend Toya. I heard of him. I should probably talk to him since he's really close to akito. I wonder what their relationship is. Did akito tell him? When yes why not me?

But if I was akito I also wouldn't tell...

Toya stayed overnight. We had dinner. But it was quiet. We didn't fight about food or say mean stuff about each other. We just ate. Weird.

This evening I was drawing on the illustration for the new song. But somehow my head wouldn't work. I couldn't think about anything but today. How did we end up like this?

I should probably check on akito. As I leave my room to go near Akito's. It's weirdly quiet. What are they doing? Sleeping? It's only 10. Not even small kids are sleeping at this time.

I want to open the door as I hear a voice. It's quiet but calming. I want to enter and find out. But I can't. I know that.

So I turn around and leave. Whatever they were doing. I hope Toya is caring about akito as much as I do. Toya please don't hurt him. He's almost broken.
