Rella's Pov
I just met him, hut he is just, I don't know. Everytime I close my eyes I see him. I couldn't stop thinking about him since I last saw him. I lean closer to the tree. I bring my knees to my chest and surround them by my arms. I look up at the stars, they are beautiful. Magical. I close my eyes.
What if he come here? Why is he like this?
I understand that this is kinda his place, but it's the only place where I feel safe. If he come, I'll just leave.
As I am looking at the sky, memories of my old life start coming back. Everything that I did, every fault I regret. My family and I haven't talked for ages. How's mum? How's little Joe?
I put my hand under my eyes feeling the wet skin.
The sound of a branch breaking snaps me out of my thoughts. I turn around quickly to where the sound came from.
Ledger?
I wipe my eyes quickly. I won't let him see me crying.
He is just standing there against a tree staring at me. His dirty brown hair falling on his forehead and covering the edge of his mask. Both of his hands are in his black jacket pockets.
I stand up and look the other way avoiding his gaze.
"You don't have to leave," He says walking to me, "I promise to leave you alone. You won't even know I am here."
I put a lock of hair behind my ear and nod. I sit down again.
I really can't deal with him right now.
I close my eyes again, drifting back to my old memories and ignoring his existence. I wonder how is Johnny. I wonder if he got into the University he wanted. If he had the job he dreamt of. I wonder if he miss me. If he still remember.
"You are crying?"
I put my hand under my eyes again, this is just too much.
'"No," I whisper.
He comes and sits down next to me.
He puts his arm around my shoulder and pulls me closer. I tense at his touch. As I am about to move away, He leans closer to me.
"I won't ask if you are okay, Rella," I close my eyes trying not to cry. Why did they leave? "I guess In some way no one really is, yeah?"
They could have tried.
"You don't have to pretend to be okay,"
I close my eyes, not being able to hold on anymore. A sob escapes my mouth and tears start rushing out of my eyes.
I bury my face in his chest. He freezes for a second then put his hand on my back and start moving it slowly.
"I am just trying to be a good person for once, a good friend," He whispers.
Lol. This is too dramatic and cheesy but I love it.
I am really sorry for not uploading earlier and for this short chapter.

Also, It'd be great if you checked MaRiaLovatic_107 stories if you like thriller and crime, her stories are really great and she's pretty much the main reason I started writing in the first place, So It'd really be amazing if you help spread her stories :)
