The Girl My Heart Beats For

After relocating to a new town. Akeelah is forced to live alone when her mum dies. Her dad was on a business trip and he was going to join them soon according to her mum.But her dad was never gonna join them because the truth is that they got divorced.
Her mum hadn't told her about it due to Her(Akeelah) health status which causedher difficulty in going through tough or extreme emotions. How's Akeelah gonna feel when she finds out the truth?
Akeelah is later shocked to know the person who is interested in comforting her and understanding her pain

"Come on Akeelah. What's wrong? "
He drank in her startled look giving him the hint that she was shocked rather than surprised to see him. Her glassy eyes glowed with unshed tears behind the lens of her glasses.
She couldn't figure out why her insides coiled up with shock as he she raised her head which had been between her bent knees to look up at him. Was it because he paid her a random visit or because he cared to know what was wrong with her or because for the very first time he wasn't wearing that fucking serious look he always wore? His face looked as cool as ever.
She held her hands to her face and sobbed hard into her palms trying to swallow those sobs and hold the cry back.
"what's wrong? " he whispered he crouched beside her and squatted in front of her. "why are you crying into your palms, keels? " he paused and met her gaze as she lifted her head slowly.
"You've got my shoulder "
What! Did I just hear him offer me his shoulder to cry on?
The startled look over her face doubled as his soft gaze melted her, it tripped at the gentle squeeze he gave her hands.She sniffed harder causing her to sneeze lightly as she tried to force the fresh tears back.
Her eyes drowned into a pool of shock and surprise as he absorbed her into his strong arms giving her a tight suffocating hug.
"shhhhhh" he cooed as she began to cry again. "you have a shoulder to lean and cry on now okay " he assured her.
