I couldn't stop thinking about what Alonzo had gone through. I realized that he had been carrying this burden alone all these years, and it must have been incredibly difficult for him. I felt grateful that he trusted me enough to confide in me and share his pain.
I sat on the edge of my bed, not being able to get the thought out of my head. So much pain for someone so young. Part of me felt guilty asking him about it. He was smiling the whole day, did I open the wound again?
I couldn't bear it any longer. I reached for my phone on the side table and dialed his number. A short ringing was heard before he picked the phone up. "Trouble sleeping love?" he asked, even over the phone his smile could've been heard. "I suppose so, could you come over?" No other word than "See you in a minute." was heard before the call got disconnected. I lifted myself from my bed and immediately ran over to the window. Pulling up the window, I glanced around. Stupid enough to think he was actually gonna appear in a minute.
