The Hurt in Our Hearts

"Why do you do this, Hailey?"
"Because nobody understands me. Nobody ever has and ever will." I say, trying not to cry.
"I understand you!" he says to me, anger in his eyes.
"No you don't, Matthew!"
He walks towards me, and hurt now shows in his eyes. He grabs my arms, and grips them tightly.
"Then make me understand." he whispers, barely loud enough for me to hear.
