He was just looking so overcome with emotions.
Nico was bawling his eyes out, in a way I wasn't sure a boy like him would with me watching. I immediately ran to his side and gave him a hug. He gave no acknowledgement of me in return.
I rubbed his back and let him cry into his forearms, until he leaned into me and cried on my shoulder.
I didn't know exactly what happened, but I'm going to be his support system anyway, "Hey, it's okay. Don't think about it, Nico. It'll be all right."
I just kept crying and crying.
~~Time Skip~~
"So what happened?" I finally ask once he'd calmed down.
Nico shakes his head, "A lot, and nothing at all."
I wasn't 100% sure what he meant, but I nodded anyway.
Then it occurred to me that this happens with love all of the time--all of the time, people are torn apart, so easily, over nothing and over the world. This world.
Will Edgar and I end up like that? It's sad to say "maybe" instead of an absolute "no." But I don't lie.
"Do you wanna talk about it?" I return my focus to my brother.
He shrugs, "I don't know."
I nod, "It's okay. We'll talk when you're sure you want to."
I pat his back again, and he nods, letting out a quiet "thank you." I hug him slightly in return.
"Jacie, do me a favor?" he pleads with his eyes.
"Of course, what is it?" I respond.
He gestures with his shoulder, "Go check on Leo."
You really love this boy, don't you? I stand up and head to his room, with a smile I can't quite explain.
