Is There Hope

Chapter 5 Why?

I was walking around the pond in the woods playing with the animals and as I was walking I heard a sound. I turned around fast and there was Yukio he looked out of breath. I looked at him confused he looked back at me and he turned red. He then walked toward me.
"Hailee am so very sorry I shouldn't have said all those mean things to you." He bowed his head to show me his respect.
I lifted his head and smiled at him, I wrote: "You have nothing to apologize for Yukio."
"Yes, I do I said all those mean, curl things to you!"
I wrote, "really its okay am used to it, please you don't need to apologize." I smiled like always. The truth is it's all I know how to do I don't like others worrying about me, I don't deserve it. So I always hide behind a mask of smiles and lies. Lies like "yes, am fine," or "it's okay no harm done." So many other excuses. I find it funny how well I can hide it all and no one notices it at all.
"Hailee..." Yukio said then he ran up and hugged me "that's something you shouldn't be okay with or used to, why are you always so kind hearted to everyone? Why do you always smile no matter what people call you? Hailee, you're so kind and gentle to everyone even people who walk all over you, even me after everything I called you...." He hugged me tighter I was bright red but I raped my arms around him and hugged him back.
After a while he let go he looked into my eyes I looked back into his. Yukio blushes bright red as did I.
"C-come on let's walk home together." Yukio said I smiled and nodded yes. As I walked right beside him home I began to wonder the same WHY'S he had asked me.
