ON HOLD ¦Is it a secret if everybody knows it, but no one talks about it?¦ "You know if you keep saving everyone else, you won't have time to save yourself." I can feel his eyes searching me angrily. "That's true." I reply, still looking at the view before us. "So stop then." "I can't." "Why?" I stop, choosing my words carefully, creating different sceneries in my head in the span of a few seconds. I open my mouth, forcing myself to speak. "When I was young I was really sad and lonely and there wasn't anyone that picked me up." I pause, trying to measure my sentences. "When you're sad or angry you respond in two ways, hurt the people that hurt you or protect others form the pain that you when through." "And you choose to help people." he says, not phrasing it as a question. "No. I didn't." I whisper. "That's why I'm helping them now." Cover by @NeverYawn
