I can feel the ache in my chest now, it has always been there but it wasn't always as forceful as it is right now. I gasped as the pain intensified, it almost felt like a physical pain but I knew deep down that it is an emotional pain.
Doctors said that the heart's function is to pump blood in the body, why does it hurt so much right now? Why does it seem like the heart also has another function apart from pumping blood around the body? I can say the other function of the heart is to bear the burden.
The burden my heart currently bears is making my chest feel so tight.
"Are you okay?" Val spoke from behind me.
Am I okay? No, of course not. I'm sick and tired. Everything keeps weighing down on me that I don't know which is affecting me more. I suddenly feel like a kindergarten child who is a late talker, who isn't able to rightly express their feelings.
"It hurts… it hurts so much I want to cry…" I finally spoke up.
I looked up at Val and stared into her deep brown eyes.
