"I... I'm burning again," he whispered, crying. He pulled up the hem of his shorts, showing her the many new burns. "...I don't know how to stop..." |
|
|
| |
|
"Well... how come you do it? Wait no let me resay that, whats the reason you do it?" She asked warmly, clasping his hand in hers. |
|  |
|
| |
|
"I... I dunno... I just feel so hopeless... alone..." he whispered, still crying. "...the pain helps..." |
|
|
| |
|
She pulled him tight against her, thinking of what to do. "Well... maybe if you came and talked to me about it when you wanted to then maybe it could help?" |

Noah fell silent. He couldn't wake her up in the middle of the night... she'd get no sleep... |
|
|
| |
|
"I don't mind if you wake me up in the middle of the night or whenever, I just... don't want you hurting yourself.." She murmured softly |
| |
|
| |
|
Noah buried his face in her shoulder, but he nodded. |
|
|
| |
|
She held him to her, rubbing his back. |
| |
|
| |
|
Noah clung onto her. That night, it was late, really late, and he had to nudge her awake. |
|
|
| |
|
"Hm? Noah?" She murmured, rubbing her eyes as she sat up. |
