CLOUDED THOUGHTS 💭 | DONBELLE FANFIC

[4]

I'm still at the balcony with the guy I'm forced to be
stuck with for 7 minutes. The dude settled down quickly as I thought. It's fine at least he got to lighten whatever he had to carry. My back was still facing him respecting his privacy so I entertain myself by looking at the dark sky filled with stars when I felt someone tugged my back shirt.

"Y-you can look at the front now" I knew he was trying hard to smile "I'm fine now"

Who are you kidding? But instead of saying that to him, I chose to look at the front so my view is back on the cars.

I took a short glance at him. His eyes were looking at the sky and they were red probably from the crying. I know he's trying his best to throw that sadness because he was still smiling as usual.

"Your impression of me must be like somewhat I'm a crybaby" he chuckled

"Nah" I shook my head "I don't know the whole story so it's not right for me to judge"

I don't judge other people. Margritte and the others would gossip about someone but I chose not to listen. No person deserves to be judged only they can judge themselves.

"Nothing happened probably about sch-"

"You can tell me about it besides this would probably be the last time we'll see each other" I cut him off before he can lie to himself"If you don't... I respect that"

I placed my elbow on the railings and rested my chin on my palm. I see him looked at me shocked, I get that expression all the time when I opened my mouth. Again there was silence maybe he chose not to share.

He cleared his throat catching my attention.

"My family is rich....very rich, before my mom and dad got married they already came from a rich family. They were forced to marry each other for wealth and business, yeah I know fucking arrange marriage." He began "My parents grew to love each other because there was nothing they can do, they were just young adults at that time. And because of that, they had my older sister..and then I came to their lives. We were a happy family with no worries at all and by the time I hit 7 years old, my younger sister was born. I was happy because my family was growing. I thought no one I mean no one can break this apart - and boy was I wrong"

I think I know where this is heading. I kept my mouth shut and let him continue.

"When my dad took over my mom's family business, things started to go downhill. He came home very late and he wasn't there during breakfast, lunch, and even family dinner and it went to the point I rarely see him at the house. I thought this was temporarily but it wasn't. It was still like that even up to now. I love how my mom was very patient around him I even got to see her massaging my dad's back often. I used to not mind about my family issues because I also had my own life." He stopped took a breath and continued on

"I was 15 when I found out my dad had two phones and because I was curious I checked them. One was for business, it was filled with a lot of information that my 15 years old brain cannot handle." He chuckled he's telling me this, I mean it's way too personal. I did not notice I was now looking at him"The other one was used for... it was so damn easy to understand. It took a while for me to accept that my b-bastard of a father was ch-cheating on my m-mom" He closed his eyes and bit his lower lip

"Hey, it's fine if you don't want to tell me this. I feel like I'm intruding your life" before he can proceed I cut him off

He shook his head off still closing his eyes. It seems like he's trying not to cry so he had to close his eyes "I insist. I want to get this thing out of my mind"
