'lie to yourself but not to your heart'

"can you stop pretending?"

"pretending your alright when your not? "

"how?"team asked

"how can I not pretend,i can't be a burden to anyone " team said

"How long will you pretend to be okay? When everyone is here to be with you" Alex asked as he got closer to team who was sitting looking above the sky

"for as long as I can do it "it was the answer that came out of his mouth as his voice sounded tired

"You didn't sleep didn't you?" Alex notice team's tired look behind the make up that hides his eyebags, team nod as answer

"Nightmares....." team whispered but enough for Alex to hear it

"those keep me awake not ever wanting me to sleep......." team continued

"your dad said he couldn't let me drink pills anymore... And it might cause serious side effects"

"hia......was the only one who can turn my nightmares into beautiful dream..... A sleepless night to a peaceful one..........a colorless reality to a colorful one.......now I lose him"

A long silence came when he said it then..........

"what did i do?" team's question made alex look at him in confusion

"isn't it enough? Why do i have to suffer my entire life, now I might have that stupid disease that will possibly kill me" team looked at Alex

"your dad said it was a high chance that it is hanahaki disease "team said as he looked Alex in the eye that hides his emotions

"since birth as the youngest I wasn't even fully taken care of my mother, all the attention was on my older brother and sister, I was raised by my grandmother till she left me with my Mom and dad until now i still haven't seen her i'm so afraid it's too late for me to see her again........all the memmories of her is fade, it's blur and i can't remember her as time pass by ,growing up wasn't good either seeing your parents fight in front of you when you were 6 until now and not being once a priority by your own parents....*chuckle*.....heck I wasn't even wanted.....i wasn't planned.....mom doesnt really want a third child who would even want a fat disgusting child " Alex hearing this make him entirely stunned he felt pity for team who was always smiling and happy, protecting and making others smile when he couldn't do it to his self

"I carried jealousy within my years of living,........when they asked for something they get it but when it comes to me it has to be the last thing they would ever do.......i had to be mature at a young age to look after my older brother......." those words coming out of team's mouth send shock to Alex's ears

"To act tough, to act older to my immature brother........"

"I can never be myself in my home......i can never be immature within my mother's eyes......i can never be right....."
