Her whole body fell into my arms as if she were safe. Like this stupid girl trusted me to protect her. I don't know what happened inside that house, and I should. I don't know why, but I just have to. I just have to help this girl. If I don't, what even am I? What right do I have to say I want to protect people?

It's not like I'm fucking superman, and I can't save everyone. I don't even know if she wants it, but I know she needs saving, and I know I want to save her. How could I not? It's not as if I'm obsessed with her. Hell, I know she is with me. I know I promised not to read them. I can't trust every word I say.

At least I avoided whatever looked personal, but the fact that she trusted my words enough to continue writing about me is a little warming. Hah? What the fuck am I thinking about? I hate desperate nerds like her. Right, I hate people like her but there's no fucking way I'd hate her.

She's crying in my arms like a bullied child, and I don't know what to do. The only thing I do know is that this girl really fucking trusts me. Why? Nobody, not even the great fucking me has a clue how to deal with this. And I do want to deal with this. All through life, I've just had it handed to me like I deserved it.

And I'm afraid she's giving me her love when I know I don't deserve it. She hands something so fucking valuable out like it's worth nothing. But for a girl like her, with a life like this, it's something priceless.

"Hey, hey, you're okay." I don't know how to comfort someone. I look her over, she's fucking hurt. Her ankles bleeding, there's fucking glass in it, her foots bleeding, why isn't she even wearing shoes?

I can see the red stain through her socks, but  it all makes sense when I notice her brother. "Is big sis okay? I bet she is! Big sis is super strong." She doesn't look super strong. She looks fucking vulnerable as shit. Kids are annoying: I don't know how to deal with them.

It's so clear that despite whatever the fuck went down in that shitty house, this boy was raised with love.

A love that she clearly never received. A love I for some reason want to give her. I don't like her; I'm just not a monster. Despite the times I skip school, the dirty looks I give these privileged assholes, I'm not that bad. I'm privileged, too, but at least I can acknowledge that I've truly reaped the benefits of my life.

"Yeah, your sister's super strong." The kid looks up at me in some sort of approval. "Are you the boy?" I'm lost. "My sister really likes this one boy: she thinks he's like super cool. I don't know, but she's crazy about him! Apparently, we're gonna go his house. Apparently, I wasn't." The boy stops suddenly. "Wasn't meant to tell you. Oopsies!"

I'm starting to understand why he's loved. He really likes his sister. I know he's worried and trying to act tough and all, but he's a kid no older than six? I think.

"I'm Zio! I'm seven, and I'm sis's number one sidekick! Okay? Me not you, loser. My sis loves me more, loverboy." Am I actually being mocked by a seven year old? He's right, though. There's nobody in this world she loves more than her brother.

Honestly, i don't feel jealous at all. I don't know if I should feel jealous, really. I mean, she should love the kid. "Oh, right, I need to take care of your sister." I sigh. I can do it, obviously. Is she awake? She blinks up at me slowly. "Shit!" She jumps off me, but I haven't fully let go, causing her to stumble right back into me. "Calm down, jeez." She takes a deep breath. "Where's my brother?"

Stupid girl, sacrificing her health for someone else like that. I get it; she loves her brother, but she needs to love herself more, too. "Right here." The kid peeks out with a bright ass smile plastered on his face as he practically pounces on her.

She laughs. I don't know if it's a giggle, a chuckle, or a little laugh, but the sound resonates in my ears so nicely. I fucking love it when she laughs like that. I've never seen her so happy, but God, if that's the sight, then I really will do anything to make her happy.

Not because I like her. It's just pleasing to me, that's all. "Hey, kid." She smiles at him as he rests into her. "You did it! You're a superhero. I'm your fav sidekick, right?" This kid really wants to prove to me that he's the favourite. I know he is. "Of course, you are! You're my favourite in the whole wide world." Damnit.

"Okay, get down. Your sister just fought a big boss battle. And like Superman, she's gotta take care of herself." He nods. He's so less annoying to her, but I swear children are all secretly evil. He runs off to my car as she turns to face me. I think he's finally gone, but I see him drop a first aid kit near her and run back. "He's a good kid." She's smiling just reminiscing about him.

I'm sure he's good to her. "You sure you don't want me to buy you a house? This whole area's a shithole. If you want, I'll just buy like the whole area and make it nice if you really love this place." I don't even know why I'm offering to do this for her, but if she just said the word, I swear I fucking will.

But not because I like her.
