I didn't know that the person sitting in front of me is the same person I see everyday at the school. Or the same person who always carry a strong demeanor around him. I always took Flio to be a person who is strong and very confident no matter what.
How wrong I was?
The person I saw and the person I am seeing in front of me are very different. And I know now that the person I am seeing in front of me is the real him and the person whom I daily see is the person he had created himself to not get attached to anyone.
Was I like this with everyone? Will I just see them and not try to understand their inner feelings? All the people in my life are just faking happiness. Is it?
I don't know but my mind was just thinking everything but my body was still not moving. I was brought back to reality when I heard sniffing and I snapped my head towards it. I found Flio still sitting on the stairs crying.
I put my hand on his shoulder to calm him. He raised his head and I saw that tears were still rolling off his eyes and I don't know how to comfort him. I squeezed his shoulder a little but he was not calming down. I asked that old man to get water and he went away.
" Flio I don't know what to say. But I want you to calm down. Please I can't see you like this. I don't know what is it between you and your dad or your life. I promise I will not interfere until you wanted to tell me yourself. But for now calm down " I said in a pleading tone and pulled him to the sofa and made him sit there.
I handed him water and he coughed while drinking so I patted his head to calm him down. He was a little calm but there were still tears in his eyes.
" If you want me to leave I will. Don't worry. Everything will be alright " I said and squeezed his shoulder with a small smile. I got up to leave when he called me and I froze in my place.
" Jassica, please don't leave. I don't want you to leave " he said and his voice made me melt.
It was the first freaking time he called me by my name and that too in a very calm tone. I was shocked as well as surprised to hear him being so helpless but decided to stay there.
" You know what, this is the first time you called me by my name. I wanted to go and celebrate it so that I will never forget this day. And most importantly alcohol not allowed " I said which made him chuckle and I was relieved that he smiled. After that an eerie silence fell between us and I asked him not able to contain it anymore.
" Do you wanna talk about it? I mean about your dad? If you don't want to I understand. I am not forcing you " I said slowly and he shook his head and I know he was trying hard not to breakdown.
I put my hand on his fisted hands " Its okay. Everything will be fine " I said assuring him.
He lifted his head and looked at me with tear filled eyes and I am sure that my eyes to had tears after looking at his vulnerability. We kept staring at each other as if trying to reach out each other feelings but I couldn't find any. I am not used to these all things.
Even when Rian looks at me, he would tell what is going on in my head. I don't know what is it with me but he reads me like an open book but I could never decipher his thoughts. I don't know why my thoughts shifted to Rian when I am with Flio but I averted my gaze away from him as if I had done a mistake.
" Jassy I am really sorry for my dads' behavior " he said bowing his head and I asked him the question which was roaming in my head since he introduced me to his father.
" Flio that's okay and don't apologize for the mistake you hadn't done. And what do you mean by his family? Where is your mother? " I asked looking at him whose head was still down.
