My Gangster Prince

PAIN

5

My heart literally froze as he gave me the stare of shock and curiosity. It literally felt as if I was running around in the public naked, and all the people around me just laughed at me. The pain I felt at that point of time was like having thousands of people shoot me in the heart with a rifle at the same time, or like giving birth to the entire population of planet earth at the same time. My heart ached so badly, that I ran to the nearest toilet and just let go of all my sorrow.

Suddenly, I hear footsteps approaching the toilet. One step at a time, with each step getting louder and louder. Who could it be? I stopped crying and wiped my tears dry.

"Hey man, you okay?"

Chris questioned me with a voice of care and concern. I have never heard him speak this way before, and it really managed to melt my heart all the way, deep down inside. There was really no way for me to resist crying even harder, as I got touched by his actions and words. It really was very heart-warming to hear the soothing voice of Chris's, especially after all his friends laughed at me.

But what was the point of him coming to care for me, when I just got laughed at his friends for embarrassing myself? And I feel that actually he got embarrassed too, because his friends somehow knew I had something for him. Would his friends not mistake us in a relationship or something else? I was really curious as to why he still cared for me, even though nothing good would happen. Or was he just that kind of good partner, that did not care about other's judgements and laughters and to go help the person who was really in need? I really did not expect him to have such a soft side, even though he looked so strong and tough on the outside. I think I just fell deeper in love with this perfect guy. 

"Yea I'm okay," I said to cover things up.
