The Girl With Glasses

TGWG 8

"I came here to check if you're still breathing but look at you! You're crying as if you're tired of living!" He have been talking non-stop like a mad man without me replying.

"What on earth happened to you?! Why are you crying?!" I didn't have the strength to answer Laurens or even ask him how the hell did he get up to my room when I'm at the 3rd floor.

"What the heck?! What happened to you?! Is it too painful that you can't talk? Hey!" I just gave him a nod before bawling my eyes out, silently...

I was then surprised when Laurens hugged me. Gosh! I'm wetting his shirt!

"Look, I won't force you to tell me what happened but please stop crying," he said as he lightly stroke my hair.

I then cried harder, dang! Finally! Someone is there to lean on. Someone finally daw this side of me amidst all my smiles and lies. Someone forced it's way in and meet the fragile Rikka.

I gave him a nod. He's really like a medicine, and I'm happy to have him beside me. I guess he's the best candidate to be the one I lean on. Not because I love him or because he loves me, but because he has time. He gave me time, and he always has time for me. And I appreciate that.

"Let's go out tomorrow," my brows knitted at his statement

"D-don't we *hik* h-have classes?" I asked and for some unknown reason he hit me hard.

"Ouch!" I cried.

"You! I was talking to you like crazy asking if you're okay, which made me really worried! I was concerned if you're already considering suicide or something that could harm you or even end you. And here you are asking about school, you pig!" I laughed slightly at him, dang this milk addict giraffe!

"There! You look so much better smiling. You looked really awful when you cry! And you even made me a human tissue!" I then smacked him on the arm hard.

"You're the one who hugged me!" I reasoned as I wipe my tears.

After this night. After he saw the REAL me, the Rikka who's been hiding all these years. I just know it, it won't ever be the same again...
