Misfits of despair

"How do you do it?" I look up at him confused, only to see that he's already looking at me. Face blank of emotion. I blink and blink again trying to get what the hell he means by that.

"How do I do what?." He sighs and looks out to the sky, and for a moment I was staring at him waiting for a answer just as I thought I wasn't gonna get one he speaks up again, only this time he doesn't look at me.

"Pretend you're okay" my body tenses and I look away from him, fuck am I so fucked up that I can't even hide it well? I mean what the hell am I supposed to say? I am fine I'm okay...right?.

"I'm not pretending." I lie shrugging , I don't look at him but I can feel the heated gaze of his on the side of my head like his seeing through my lie.

"Yes you are, Every single day. and it breaks my heart" and with that he turns and walks back into his room, leaving me outside looking at the sky alone. Alone with my thoughts...myself.
