Only Human

"Hey, why are you crying? It's not normal for someone to be sitting on the sidewalk crying."

Arche didn't say a word. Tears continued to fall down his face and to be honest, it broke my heart. It was almost as bad as the time dad first hit Gan. I needed to help him.

Without thinking, I did the first thing that came to mind. My arms slid around his torso and I leaned my forehead onto his shoulder. Hot tears dripped onto my arm as he continued to let out his emotions.

"So starboy, what's going on?"
