"W-what??" I was shocked at the news I received from my art teacher, she had just finished informing me that my father had gone into hospital due to him overworking himself at his job and have been in hospital for 3 days, why didn't I hear about it until now?? I dont know.
I couldn't focus at all on my classes after that and was called out by my teachers a lot for not paying attention which made me have to apologize a lot. So when it came to lunch I was glad to get a break, I figured it'll be nice to take a walk around the school and clear my head a bit.
Well actually I went to go and find a place where I can sit by myself, a few friends had saw that I wasn't joining them for lunch and followed to the field where I pulled out my sketchbook and started doodling. I wanted to distract myself so i didn't start crying.
But he saw how I was down and approached me, though thankfully he didnt speak, cause I felt my voice about to crack if I were to speak, instead he sat next to me and just watched me. Due to how awkward it was I decided to ask why he was hear, even though I wrote it down.
"Why are you here??"
"I dunno, why are you here??"
"I dunno, I wanted to be alone I guess"
"Okay, do you want me to go"
I thought about it for a second and figured I wanted him to stay a bit longer, so I asked if he could stay a bit longer.
"No, please stay"
"Okay, do you want a hug"
I smiled slightly at this, how did he know me so well?? I first replied with "\( ^ ^ )/" before leaning in to get my hug. His hugs were nice and warm, once I got one I never wanted to let go, but i always have to...
So we pulled apart from the hug and he sat there as he listen to what I had to say about how I somewhat dislike my family on my father side but since they are my family I still also love them. It was relieving, finally being able to tell someone, he also shared a few things and i was somewhat shocked but I continued to listen, turns out even he had some things that trouble him.
I pulled him into a hug and stroked his hair...
"Its okay, i promise not to tell anyone, but just like how you were here to comfort me today I want you to tell me when you're down so I can do the same for you... I love you, and you know that"
