love within distance

chapter 6: crying shoulder

"hey you okay?"...my eyes widen at the sound of his voice..its him "HA" I laugh unamused and a little annoyed I really just want to be alone "I'm fine" I say. he doesn't say anything back instead he comes around and sits right beside me on the bench. too embarrassed to look at him I continue looking down trying to stop the tears that are falling off my cheeks and landing in my lap but they don't stop and what he does next takes me by surprises,making me lose my fight and break down....he grabs me, holds me close wrapping his arms around me he whispers in my ear "its okay to cry" and that was it I gave in and I cried until there was no more tears to consume, with my head on his chest and his arms wrapped around me I felt calm, safe...better. I looked up at him and started laughing shyly "I'm sorry" I said a bit embarrassed that I just cried my eyes out in this guys arms and I don't even know him. he looks down at me with a small smile "don't be sorry" "well thank you for the shoulder to cry on I guess" I say laughing a bit he starts laughing with me "anytime...I'm nick by the way" nick..that's his name "well nick...I'm Kristen" I say a bit shy "ah yes my manhunt buddy" he remembers me omg ehh okay stay calm Kristen act cool "haha yep that would be me"....nice Kristen that was good "so Kristen wanna tell me why you were crying" oh boy I was afraid he'd ask "ha long story" I say trying to avoid the question "I got time" I look up at him a bit taken back but that's when I told him everything. all of it starting with when and why we moved, all the way up to what happened tonight causing me to run off to the park. for the first time in awhile I actually opened up and expressed how I felt about everything and it felt really good to let it all out and having someone there to listen to me. after tonight I think nick and I are gonna become good friends.
