...i open the door to the girlsdorm and i hear a slight sob .. crying. I think that's Kate.. she cries every night since the thing with the video. 

But the crying doesn't come from Kate's room. I walk further, i mean..it's not my business. When i get closer to my room, i hear the sound is getting louder... 

i see a figure in the dark, sitting in front of my door. The figure is huddled and cries pitifully.

 I go closer, and see it's Nathan. I stand in front of him, wanna ask him what he's doing here and why he's crying. But i can't speak. 

He wraps my legs and cries louder. I kneel down, lay my hands on his shoulders and he lays his had on mine. I stroke him trough his hair, with the aim to calm him down. 

His breathing is getting a little bit more normal. He begins to whisper: 

,, I'm ... I'm so sorry. I'm a bad person. I-I-I can't take this anymore."

his voice cracks. I lean my head on his and whisper back, softly: 

,,You don't have to be sorry, everything is okay."

 I stand up and he shrugs anxious: 

"D-Don't leave me..." he starts to cry again. "...please"

 Hearing him saying things like this, is hurting me.. but it makes me kinda happy. I take his hand, pull him up and say with a quiet and soft voice:

,,I would never leave you...ever..."

I earn a small smile under tears. We're going into my room, i take a seat on my bed and he turns to the window. I watch him wiping away the tears out of his face, but i don't say anything. 

The moon is shining in my room and Nathan stands right in the middle of the moonlight. In that gray-white shine he looks so unspeakably wonderful. I grab my camera and take a picture. He turns around, his eyes still glassy and red:

,,What..are you doing?"

I take a short look at the picture and put my camera on the table beside my bed. I reply in a little bit unsure but still soft voice:

,,You looked stunning. I-I wanted to capture this moment... So-sorry."

He starts to laugh. I knew he would make fun of me. But... wait.. i see a small tear falling down his cheek. The tears in his blue eyes remind me of the ocean; deep, wide, dark and full of fear.

,,Thank you,.. " he says and starts blushing ,,..fool."

He's trying to stay 'cool', even though he cries. Before i can ask him, for what he thanked me, he already gives me the answer:

,,Thank you for saving me out of my darkness.."

He smiles. But this smile is ... true. It's not that fake-smile he shows to everyone.. He has the prettiest smile i've ever seen. I wish he would show it more. I start to cry a little bit....And then i whisper: 

,,You saved me out of mine.."
