Defenselessness exposed every bit of Lukas' stance and feelings all crumbling down. His mind filled with bitter and harsh reflections of cruel and damaging words.

"Lukas? Are you okay?" Philip asked pulling back to look at Lukas. "I don't want your hurtful words" Lukas said almost broken.

"Lukas, I would never call you hurtful things. What's wrong ?" Philip asked concern in his voice.

"Nothing!" Lukas snapped causing Philip to jump back. "Lukas, don't let the comments over power your mind" Philip said looking at Lukas. Sadness in his eyes.

"W-what if there right Philip! So many telling me i'm doing the wrong things!  That you don't love me! I can't take it" Lukas said standing up.

"Lukas," Philip grabbed Lukas' wrist "you're not wrong," Philip looked Lukas in the eyes "you can't let them win. No matter how much they tell you to do-" Philip shook his head lightly at the thought "things, you have to go against them" Philip replied.
