Nick and Willow searched everywhere around for the ring , near his room, in park and finally while searching in the beach Willow was stunned to find the ring near the rock of the sea as soon as she took it she hides it in her pocket and said Nick
"Nick.. (Breathes) I'm tired can we rest here"
"I don't think the ring will be present here so can we go to your place" Asked Nick
"No.... No... " Hurried Willow
" Hmmm????" Nick wondered.
"I mean.... I mean, I can't go home without the ring" Managed Willow
"Then what else can we do. Don't your parents search for you? "
"If you can't help me the jus leave" She annoyed
"What did I do wrong? "
"Please don't ask anything about my background"
Said Willow
"You said you don't remember? "
"Yes that's why I said don't ask, if I start to think more my head aches heavily" She angered
"Ok.. Ok... Calm down. "
After a few minutes Nick said
"Can we play "
He took her to the sea and they both played for long by splashing water on each other . After playing they were very tired so they lied down over the rocks admiring the sky
Willow started "Nick you look like a joyful person"
"Hmm"
"Then why do you act like a lazy one and always with a sad face with others? "
"'Cause I'm comfortable with you"
"That's right but.... I'm just wondering why are you always sad and low hiding this beautiful side of you "
Nick remained silent
"If you don't want to let out then... "
Nick interrupted before finishing
"No.. No it's just the problems of life"
"Problems of life... " She laughed
"I know you won't understand "
"No... No...It's not like that Nick, I'm jus... Jus wondering you have a shelter, three meals a day, you're not disabled and you have education. Then what are you suffering from? "
"If I have all this does that mean I'm a problem free person " Smirked Nick
"Yes. Then what does make this life a problem to you? "
"What does this life have given to me.... " Nick angered and continued
"I can't express the trauma of my childhood, .. It stings me you know? "
"Nick " She said slowly
"You look at me, look I'm good for nothing I can't stay in a crowded place it makes me fell like I'm.. Awkward the feeling I couldn't say in words " He continued
"Yes.. The are many protection for child abuse. Yet, no one is ready to hear the cry of a boy . You know what's even worst is that a boy should not cry, (he sighed) Why... Why he shouldn't he is also a human and he too have feeling but nobody questions why he should not breakdown and all those shits.. ".
"Nick I understand " She called
"No.. You don't "
"I am 19 and still I can't decide my future career and I'm not happy with my current position of doing engineering , I can't even go to a shop and ask the thing I needed,look at my life it is a fucking mess. "He yelled and after a pause he continued
"You know what sucks the most is.. The girl I love doesn't even look at me ...and the worst is that she is in love with my best... Friend"
"Nick"
"And you are saying that why should I feel my life is problematic"
After few minutes and calming Nick, Willow slowly started
"I understand your feelings and all the problem. I just want you to look at the positive side of life"
Nick smirked
"After all this do you still find positive in my life... "
"Yes.. I do, maybe this trauma has happened to you to look after the boys who are affected why can't you raise your voice for them and about your career you still have time, who said boys can't cry. It's you who built a wall around yourself and worried about the other people. Who doesn't care about you . You can't be yourself unless you build a wall of what people think about you. Why can't you be the example to show other people that boys do have feeling and they too cry and protect the child from abuse"
Nick remained silent but her point made him to think and look at the other side of his problem
"And about your love have you ever asked George about this, you just assumed like others that they are in love without knowing the truth, then what is the difference between you and the other people? "
"I understand, Willow.. But I just need time. "
"Yes you can ...you have plenty of time Nick"
"The problem is not your life it's you, the mistake is that you see your life in that perspective. There are people who are in trouble which you can't even imagine. Don't just revolve around your problem just try to find the solution. " Said Willow calmly
When they both returned they both were so tired and went to bed, lying on bed and staring at the celling Willow uttered slowly
"Nick... Nick... Are you asleep"
When she turned down, she saw Nick sleeping and snuggling due to cold ,she took a blanket immediately and covered him and sat near him and gently stroked his hair with her pale hands and said
"Everything will be alright , Nick" And gave a kiss on his forehead.
"May you have sweet dreams ".
