As I walk, I hear footsteps running up behind me.
"You did it! Shadow you did it!" Jason yells in excitement. I stay looking down.
"Why did you let them?" I ask quietly.
"What?"
"I guess I can see why they would want to know the whole story and about my past but you actually wanted me to tell them the one thing only two people know from outside my family. You knew I can't just tell everyone about my father. You knew I wouldn't and you still pleaded with me. I trusted you!"
"What are you talking about. I never pleaded with you to talk about your dad," Jason defends.
"Then what were those puppy dog eyes for huh? I can't believe you let it get that far!"
"Shade, I was trying to see how you were assessing the situation. I was trying to see if you needed me to step in or if you had it. I thought you could handle it."
"Handle it? What's that supposed to mean?"
"I didn't mean it that way. I just... Shadow?" Jason asks. I feel my eyes burning and a warm tear drips onto my cheek. I look away fast. He will not see me cry. I am not week.
