When it hurts, would you take it or would you let it go?
Ben
"Babe...I have something to tell you.." I held this off from him for so long that Now, hearing his story on how he was bullied and it resulted in breaking him in a way that broke me. He might be a funny person and he might hate pity but it doesn't change how much he was hurt during the process, you could see hurt flash through his eyes as he tried to prove how much it didn't affect him by showing how much it did.
He laughed in between the narration but they were dry and bitter laughters, they weren't those rich, loud and genuine laughter he let out from his very precious debt, they were very much strangled and much more of a cover up.
With everything he told me, it made me more sad that I wasn't on a different side but I was the guy hitting him with a stick.
