Her Reaction

"Yu-Jun," she whispered to the cold breeze. "Did you know that distance means so little when someone means so much?"

I lifted my head from my knees and stared at her pale face, stained by tears. I opened my mouth, attempting to comfort her, but nothing came out. Not a single sound. I eventually shut my mouth and leant my head against the cold wood wall, staring off into her deep blue eyes. I always felt so lost in them. It always seemed that it contained a dark story. Her eyes were lifeless after all. They were dull and vacant, which made her seem like a doll even more.

I sighed and fixed my posture to face her. I gulped and grabbed her shoulders.

"It's going to be okay," I said, but it wasn't convincing at all with the way my voice trembled.

She looked at me with a sad smile and nodded her head. She inched closer to me and closed her arms around me. Trapping me into a warm hug. I could feel my lips lifting into a slight smile. I shut my eyes, resting my face on her shoulders and patted her back.

"It's going to be okay," she mumbled in my ear confidently but I could feel hot tears falling onto my shirt.

"Yes it is," I breathed. "We're going to be fine."
