Mirror Me (Rewriting)

Chapter-18 Alone in the Mirror

"Krin..." I heard Joanan's voice say. I looked up. I am so glad to see him. I hugged him tight.

"Joanan! I'm so sorry. I don't know what came over me. I shouldn't have said what I did!" He looked surprised at first then hugged back.

"It's ok" he says.

"No, it's not. I was so disrespectful. I shouldn't have said anything about something that is none of my business"

"I know you didn't mean it"

"You should have left me here anyway..." I tell him.

"Why would I do that?"

"You wouldn't and didn't, but you should have."

"Why do you think that though?" He asks.

"You know why"

"No, I don't" he say. "Your my friend. I can't just leave you behind. Plus I had to make sure you were ok. I thought I killed you!"

"Why did you think that?" I ask.

"Your head hit a rock. I thought I lost my only friend"

"I thought I had lost mine too. I'm sincerely sorry"

"It's ok." I hugged him tighter. "If you hug me any tighter I'm going to pop." He says jokingly.

"Oh, sorry" I let go. He wiped my tears.

"Come on" he got up then helped me up. We continued walking. I walked behind him letting him lead the way. I didn't want him to see that I was still ashamed. I'm probably so annoying to him...Weighing him down...Holding him back...Making things harder for him. I hadn't realized he stopped and I bumped into him. I looked at him. Apparently he had turned to look at me after stopping. 

"Sorry! I-I didn't mean to bump into you"

"Krin..."

"Yes?" I say nervously.

"What's on your mind?" He asks.

"Nothing important. Let's keep going!" I say then try to walk past him. He blocked me.  "Joanan..." I say annoyed.

"Tell me" I sigh.

"Fine...I feel like I'm holding you back. I bet all of this would be a lot easier without me and I'm probably so annoying..."

"It's actually been easier with you here. It's less lonely and fights are easier. I like having you around"

"Really?"

"Yeah, ofcourse" he says. He smiled and I smile back. We continue on and I feel a little bit better knowing that I'm not that annoying to him. He's too nice...In the distance, over the trees, there was a very tall building. We walked towards it. When we got there we saw ruins of some important looking place.

"Maybe we'll find a clear prism here"

"Well, let's hope it's a different color..." He says.
