He sit there laughing with his family and friends forgetting that they had a guest for the night,
While talking he noticed her(the guest) sitting lost in thought which made him frown.
He doesn't know why but he could see alot of pain in her eyes which made his heart ache.
His family caught him staring at the girl but didn't say anything, but as they look at her they could see something is bothering her.
He got up and went towards her and sat next to her yet she was lost in thought not noticing him.
He tap her shoulder and ask her if she is ok, and she said yah as she fake a smile.
She got up and was about to go when he hold her hand and said that after having dinner then she can go.
She nodded and soon entire family was having dinner along with her, she was not so comfortable with his family serving her and the boy noticed it saying that he will serve her.
He then told her to eat and as she was eating he was stealing glances which was notice by his family.
After dinner she left to her room and the boy follow her, because he knew she isn't ok.
Even his family was worried because just a look of her tells she is not ok or sad about something.
The boy came in her room not before knocking and saw her staring in the dark sky.
She knowing that someone is there but stayed quiet until he ask what's so beautiful in that dark sky that you can't take your eyes off it.
She replied the darkness, which makes the boy confused and worried because the hidden pain that she was trying to hide is being noticed by him.
He said even though its darkness there's always a star that will make it bright, he pointed at the star.
She said but what if there isn't a star, he replied with a smile, in the night if there's not a star then there will definitely be a moon who brighten the night with it's moon light.
She stays quiet and then after a while ask what are you doing here, he replied someone needs me and I wouldn't be there, then that's not me
He cupped her face as he made her turn and said you can fake a smile, you can fool anyone with your lies saying you're ok but let me tell you your eyes don't lie.
She look down when he took his finger and raise her chin saying I don't know what happened that makes you this sad but tell someone you can even tell me, dont keep it inside, it's gonna blast, share the pain with someone even though if you know they will not help, but in that way you're gonna clear your mind, you're gonna feel a different ease in your mind and heart.
She said an empty vessel doesn't have anything inside na and my life is like that
He sigh, but an empty vessel can hold many things inside even a grain of salt which no one can see right.
She said I'm tired this life is just filled with pain, he said tell me and ease your pain.
She look at him, and it's the first time someone talked with her so nicely, she said I just wanna sleep, sleep so peacefully that even my nightmares will flew away.
He said I'll make you sleep come with me, he lead her to bed and sat on the bed taking her head in his lap as she lay on the bed.
He started singing a song as he patted her head and she snuggle in his stomach trying to hide her tears
He knew what kind of sleep she was talking about, he knew she is at a point to give up on her life, he knew she wants to go away from this earth, he knew she is tired of fighting but yet he has a hope of healing her from all these miseries.
She always thought that she had no one, she knew her life is a mess, she knew no one since they all ignore her, she knew she is alone yet she wants to let him in and breaks her wall yet she is afraid, afraid that he will leave her like everyone else. And he knew he need to let her insecurities out no matter what
