C: Evelyn, say something?
U: you didn't mean it right? That you l-love me?
C: yeah I slipped up my words.

I could tell he was being hesitant. But truth is, he's the only one I've ever talked to. I've never talked to my parents, I've never said anything when I was young too.

When I was young, my parents decided to put me in a insane asylum because of my speech problem. Nevertheless I didn't talk to anyone, nor did I do anything. They took me out when they understood nothing was happening and I was getting worse.

I also had anxiety, an eating disorder, and depression. Yeah, crazy for a 12 year old to have that. I eventually got over my depression and my eating disorder but anxiety stuck with me forever.

Turns out Corbyn was special. He made me speak. But maybe it was a mistake.

U: I'm not done with my secrets bean.
C: I like the name! But what is it that you wanted to tell me?

I told him everything. About my parents, my life, my problems, everything. He was so shocked at what was inside me. He never knew what ran through my mind until now.

U: and that's my l-life.
C: your telling me, you've never talked to anyone?
U: yeah.
C: I feel so special! He says with an adorable smile.
U: oh dear. I sigh.

C: *giggles*
U: Corbyn, can I tell you something??
C: anything Evelyn.
U: I uhh... never mind.
C: you can tell me Evelyn.
U: it's fine, plus YOU have to tell me your secrets.
C: ok ok, umm to be honest Evelyn, under this act I'm just like you. But a little less, ya know. I was always quiet as a kid. My parents thought I was just a shy. I had a lot of secrets for a boy, I remember I used to stalk a girl I used to like. I know, very weird, don't mention it. But in middle school, I changed. I never liked to be the center of the attention.
U: wow. Coming from you is really crazy.
C: yeah, I know but I have to act so different in front of people. But with you, I feel so natural. Like I don't have to rush and talk so loud.

You and Corbyn had a lot of fun at the beach. You guys talked, played in the water, and watched the sunset. After, you dried off and said your goodbyes.
