Married at 19
Chapter 9
We went to the garden on the rooftop of our dorm which the place where we usually hang out together after 10 pm and above. He said that he needs some fresh air, so maybe this is the right place for him to relax his mind.
We sat on the bench beside with each other. Although I feel it really awkward, but I still love being with him. He totally seemed messed up with and I do really want to help him so much, bring him the happiness back, because I want the old him that is full with mischief and always happy all the time.
It hurts so much to see him that way, so I decided to start talking after our long silence moment. "I-I'm really sorry for your loss, Nathan. I'm not sure what to say, but I want you to know that I care. You're my friend, Nathan, I really don't want to see you like this. I know Aunt Karen and Uncle Michael feel that way to. They must be really unhappy when see you like this. Don't you feel sorry for them too? Or do you want them to be sad to see you being like this from up there?"
Nathan's blue ocean eyes only look down to the ground and he is still remains silent for a while.
"You know Nathan, I lost my mom when I was 5 years old, when she gave birth to my sister, Ivy. I'm totally broke down at that time, I missed her so much especially the when she lullabied me every night before I went to sleep. It hurts me so much that time until my father came and comfort me. Then realized something, my sister never had once feel my mom's love so I decided to take care of her with all the things that my mom used to teach me. I become her mom and also a loving big sister of her.
You're not alone, Nathan. You have so much friends that care so much for you, Mr Stewart and me too...care so much about you as my childhood friend. Please, don't ever think that way, we're always here with you."
Both of us were silent for a moment after I said those words to him. It feels a bit awkward moment, but I have tried my best to comfort him as a friend.
I took out my phone to check out the incoming message when my phone buzzed inside of my pocket.

I probably get going now, because I'm starving so much....well, I didn't get a chance to buy any foods since I follow
a bit with the words I said to you. I really didn't mean it actually." Without hesitating, I stood up from our bench. I bet he still needs time alone when he didn't look at me at once after all
