It's ten pm. The whole day I slept in the clinic.

As I was walking home, I stopped by the playground near our house because I thought I saw you sitting on a swing. I want to know if it's really you, so I approached.

You were looking up at the sky, I was behind you but you didn't notice.

I sat by the swing beside you.

"Hey," I called.

You were flustered. Your eyes widened, it looked like you didn't expect me to be here.

"Sorry," I said.

You stayed quiet.

There was silence. You were rocking the swing back and forth with your feet.

"Are you okay?"

I lifted my shoulder in a half shrug. There was silence again. I know what you're telling me.

It's okay if you won't talk about it, but if you would, I'd still listen.

I let out a harsh breath before talking.

"I had a fight with my girlfriend," I started without looking at you, you stopped rocking.

"It wasn't serious though. I just forgot to reply and she made it a big deal," I continued.

"I just don't want to talk to her for a while."

You lowered your head and started to kick the tiny pebbles.

"I haven't seen you in school," I said.

You gave me a smile, but it was too sad.

"Are you.. okay?"

You nodded. But it seems like you're not.

"Ack!"

I got shocked when you started to hold tightly to your chest. I don't know what to do.

"H-hey! Hold yourself together!"

What am I gonna do.

"I-I'm fine," you murmured.

"No, you're not. Let's go to the hospita-" I grabbed your wrist but you were forcing not to go with me.

You calmed down and breathe slowly.

"I'm fine."

"Are you sick?"

You shook your head.

My phone vibrated and I received a message from my mom.

From: Mom
XXX-XXXX-XXXX
Are you planning to go home or what?

"I need to go," I told you after I read the message.

You nodded and waved at me.

"Take care of yourself."
