I was surprised that I didn't choke up on my own tears by now....

".....You'll find out that I tried to commit suicide after you tried to help, then it will be awkward between us. You'll stop talking to me because of that... You will avoid me, you will go somewhere else and ignore me, you will shut me out, and you will leave me... Then, you will forget about what happened, and how I used to be in your life. You will forget that I had ever existed, and I will be nothing but a drifted, and forgotten memory. That's how it works." I quietly spoke, my voice wanting to go down into a whisper and then from there onto silence. I stared at the ground intensely. I didn't want to break my gaze in fear of becoming tearful.

There was nothing but silence when I stopped talking.

I heard movement. It was coming closer.

His hoof- It felt like a paw... Reached my chin and he made my face tilt up toward him. In spite of that, I still looked away.

'Please. I can't look at him. No, I must not look at him in case of tears.' I thought to myself.

"That's not true. Shadow, look at me." He said, pleading for me to just glace up at him. I knew if I did, everything would go down. My walls would crumble, my bridges would burst, my eyes would water, and with water from my eyes comes waterfalls. And, would you like to take a guess as to what I did? I looked at him. I did what I said I wouldn't.

I shook. I shook not only with fear, but uncertainty. I wanted to know what tomorrow would bring... Would I ever be happy again? Or would I still fall to my never-ending sorrow?
