Broken boy meets broken girl

Chapter 8

I took him home that day when he was released from the hospital. He still wouldn't tell me what had happened, he just looked let down and upset with himself. It made me upset and it made me wonder what if he went down, what if one day he really did leave me how would I go on.
So I just asked him, if you actually left me one day what would you expect me to do with myself?
Dalton just replied I don't expect you to sit around and be upset about it. This is my life and you'll move on when I'm gone you know it and I do too. You'll have a family without me and you'll live a good life without me. I'm just in the way sometimes. It will be ok though
Tears rolled down my cheeks and he tried to wipe them away but I pushed his hand away, he hurt me this time that he could possibly think that about me. That wasn't who I was. He was hiding things from me, I had a gut feeling about it. I was too but my secret isn't important to anyone.

I drove past my house and he just looked and me with a weird look and I said yes I know I drove past it. I kept driving and driving and he said nothing , nothing at all, not even a single word or gesture. It was really worrying me and I couldn't hold it inside.
DAMN IT DALTON JUST TELL ME WHATS GOING ON WERE SUPPOSED TO TRUST EACH OTHER. NO HIDE THINGS NOT MAKE THE OTHER ONE GO INSANE. THIS SHIT YOURE MAKING UP ISNT OK AND YOU KNOW THAT. I calmed down and softly said bud tell me what's going on I'm really worried.
He just sat there and bit his lip to hold back tears. I rubbed his shoulder it's okay to cry, it doesn't mean you're weak it just means you've been strong for way too long. Crying is okay it's a natural response to pain. I saw his beautiful sea green eyes light up and he just cried and just told me everything about how hard things have been his whole life and how he was going through it alone until he found me. And he really made me feel happy and he's the only one able to make me feel this way.
I parked the car and but my head on his shoulder I felt guilty not telling him all about me. I just didn't want to be judged I always had trust issues with everyone. Then he said baby tell me about you.
