“Are you feeling better now? I’m really sorry. I didn’t mean to make fun of you. I am just . . .”
I was still pressed to him and it made me feel comfortable and calm.
“I’m fine now. It’s not your fault. I’m just over sensitive I guess.”
“Saphira, I hope you know that you don’t need to suffer all the time. We can beat them up whenever you’re ready. Beat those guys who makes you feel miserable.”
“I can’t help it. I just want them to stop looking at me in a bad way. My only fault is that I let them. But I can’t fight back. I will just wait for the right time.”
“If you can’t fight them, I will. For you.”
“No one can fight my battles for me. In the end, it will still be me who will lose. I just need to find the courage.”
“I want to help you.” He gently let go of his hold on me so he could face me and look at me directly.
“Just being with me and listening to me is more than enough for me.”
“If ever I will be given a chance to protect and defend you, to make things better, I will. I just want you to know that.”
“I know. Even if you don’t tell me, I know.”
We were silent for a few minutes, just looking at each other’s eyes.
