Again.... why didn't he come to school?? Is there something bothering him? What is there anyways in his old broken house? I start wondering where stalker boy was.. Its been three days. I know Just three days. I need a person to tell stories, I mean he's only good for that. Listening.

After school, I walked home alone and again... at the same time like the last, I saw him .. coming from his front door looking all sweaty. "Did he work out and that's why he couldn't come to school? " I thought that as I confirmed it was his reason.

I went nearer and he realised I was walking towards him. He swept the sweat away and brush his hair to make it neater. " You're still dirty. You don't need to clean up" I told him.

" Ohh no, I did that so the dirt wouldn't go into your eye or -"

I cut him off, as usual " Please tell me you couldn't be anymore dumber . Enough with your nonsense"

He was about to answer but then " Shut it. Save it for another time, I don't want to hear it" I told him straight.

I continued " Anyways, stop whatever you're doing and follow me to this place out of town"

"Out of town? Do you need me to buy anything??

" Nope nope. I just need you to follow me . You might not expect this but just see.."

And there he goes, smiling..

.....

" Okayyy!!!!!! We're here!!!! " We came all the way to a place without taking any rides.

" Where are we?" He asked me.

" Its been awhile.. Its been too long. I miss this place"

" Are you okay?" He asked me and I ignored him and said " This was the last place I was with her. I was young. We were talking. Laughing. Having fun. But.. Just one slip , and I lost her. I lost everything."

" You can tell me, I'll listen"

I looked at him and managed a smile with teary eyes..

" You see.. You're learning.. When you smile, even with teary eyes.. It shows that you're strong.. You're strong to overcome what saddens you with just a smile. A beautiful one." he said as he wiped the tears flowing from my eyes.

" We were sitting on this rock and she was playing with my hair. She start tickling me .. tickling.. tickling .. till I stood up and pushed her. I couldn't help her. She was already falling. Falling down this hill. I .. I didn't do anything. I wasn't doing anything.. I.. I " I couldn't speak.. I was crying as I told him everything about how my mum.. died.

Before finishing my sentence, he hugged me before I burst into more tears. " Its not your fault. It was an accident. " He kept on repeating. This time I didn't fight back his words instead I stayed under his wrapped arms.

He looked at me. Eye to eye. It was strange.. He gave me hope. He gave me trust. He gave me... he gave me.. gave me??? .. I couldn't think of the word. I honestly couldn't think of it at all.
