I glanced at him for a moment, a bit shocked.
"Sorry, how do you even know me?"
-"Dear, i don't.
It's 4 am, you're going to a far country with
few citizens, looks like someone who ran away"
I looked it him, still shocked.
"Yeah i left, and it's not something i'd like to share."
-"why not though, we're strangers; we can talk and never meet again.
I am Daniel, by the way."
"I am Elly"
-Hey Elly, wanna hear my story? I mean, no one has ever bothered to listen , so if you won't it's cool"
"No it's okay, i want to listen"
I say so as i light a cigarette, glancing out of the window, and he starts talking
----
-"Elly was my girlfriend, she was so beautiful and full of life, i have never seen someone so young and so pure, and so was i.
Her parents was a bit poor yet she was hopeful that one day things are going to change, she was a senior, in high school and i was in my first college year.
Since i left for college she started being depressed, she barley speaks with anyone and every time i asked she said nothing.
Later on i know she was being bullied, by the school's most popular guy, he wanted to have her, not even as a date, but a sex toy;exactly what he said, and all she ever did was say she has a boyfriend so he started bullying her, ruining her life for no reason, until the day he was the cause of her death"
Daniel uttered those few words and bursted into tears, i have just seen the guy but he looked tough, and then in a matter of seconds he looked so fragile and even though i barley know him, all i could do was to burry his head in my chest, hugging him tightly like a baby.
