Echo

Chapter 2

I never wanted to love someone ever again. It would only be painful in the end. Right? I gave up the people I loved and my dreams a long time ago. Maybe it would have been better if I wouldn't have done that. But I can't change the past anymore. "I'm sorry" that's what they said back then. I hate that word. "Sorry" . Yes you're feeling sorry, but it doesn't change the past. If it's your fault that someone died, a "sorry" doesn't bring the person back. If you broke something, a "sorry" doesn't repair it. So why should I accept a sorry? They broke me and a sorry didn't make me be the person I used to be again. I lived most of the years all alone without friends and I was fine. Then, in high school, I met that guy. He was the first person to be nice to me in years. I never wanted to be friends with him, but his smile, the way he acted, his voice,basically everything made me love him. The more time we spent together,  the more I started falling for him. I was happy around him. My heart didn't feel sore and heavy anymore. It felt light and warm. Though I was still scared of getting too close to others. I thought he wouldn't like me that way anyways, so I could end all of it as early as possible. One rainy day while we walked home when I realized I was late and I would miss my train. I wanted to run to get to my train but Jihoon held my arm. "Echo. I think I like you" that's what he said. I was confused. So many thoughts ran through my mind. I just ran away and left him standing in the rain. Alone.
