Chapter 3

Eclipse and all her friends were talking when she spotted Robbie by himself. “Hey are you ok?” She asked,  he smiled “perfect” he lied “want to join in?” She asked “I'm ok, promise” another lie spilled out as he shielded his true feelings behind a mask. Eclipse nodded before giving Robbie space.

No one noticed what he had buried away and hid from. No one understood what was troubling him,  what was eating him up. No one saw, the silence was what was most painful. Everyone lived their lives not caring about how others felt. Ignoring the only thing that was there not a person but a heartbreaking silence from someone who wouldn't appear lost,  hurt, broken even.

Without a goodbye Robbie left from where he was standing and emerged to the bathroom. Parker ignored Eclipse and her friends as he ran after Robbie. The bathroom door slammed after Robbie,  Parker saw Robbie hurting emotionally as he stood outside the bathroom he spoke up “ Robbie you're my best friend, please talk to me” there was no response, after a minute the door flung open.

Parker didn't care if others saw him,  he ran to Robbie pulling him in for a hug. Deep down Parker understood how Robbie felt. Parker kept the boy close against his chest as they stood silent.
