I stood still watching Yuta in silence, his shallow intakes of breaths made me wonder... why? Why is he doing this to himself? Inflicting pain on himself, was it because of the way he was treated by his mother? Could it be due to me leaving him all alone to face the bullies of the past?
Guilt overwhelms my body.
"I-I have to tell you something." I say suddenly, was I really going to reveal to Yuta that I am the Malia he used to be friends with two years ago? It had to be done, hiding this from him felt wrong - as if I was betraying him.
Yuta closes his eyes. "That I'm not worth being friends with anymore? Leave me wordlessly like my old friend Malia, leaving me to fend for myself." he says in a quiet whisper, my eyes widen at his confession.
"No!"
