Sudden Love (Old Version)

Stay strong

Demi Lovato

This poor boy, I could not believe what I was seeing, I mean I know I went through this stuff as well but when you see it happening with someone else it is a completely different story.

When I was giving that speech in the assembly he caught my eye, no one else in that school looked like him, he looked so fragile and broken and he was the only one crying and trying to hide himself from sight, I just had to talk to him.

When I touched his shoulder and he flinched away from me and whimpered like I was going to hit him it broke my heart completely, he also closed his eyes tightly shut earlier when he told me he was gay like he was expecting me to turn on him and start being horrible but I would never do that.

He needs a lot of help to get out of the place he is in, I mean his father disowned him just because he was gay? What kind of parent does that?

I was still sat here holding him while he cried into my shoulder, his body trembling fiercely as i held him.

I pulled back from the hug and grabbed his face gently in my hands, just by looking at him you can see he is seriously ill.

He is all skin and bones, he has bags under his eyes, cuts and bruises everywhere, no life in his beautiful eyes and they really are beautiful, I have never seen a colour like them, caramel with specks of green and a golden yellow around the pupil.

I wiped his tears away and smiled sadly at him, "Give me your number as well, just in case I want to get hold of you." I spoke quietly as if any louder he was just going to break.

Justin nodded and whispered his number to me in a stutter as I typed it into my phone, that is another sign of him being nervous and scared, the stuttering.

I bet he doesn't believe that I will be getting in contact with him but I most definitely will, "Now, how about we meet up on Saturday and go and see a movie or go for lunch, how would you like that?" I asked and smiled at him as his eyes widened in shock at my question and slowly nodded his head.

"S-Sure that w-would be nice." He muttered sending me a weak fake smile, I know those all too well.

"Good, now we better get you back to assembly before the teachers start questioning alright?" He sighed in sadness but nodded his head anyway and wiped his face to rid of his tears, I took his hand in mine gently holding it to comfort him in some kind of way.

I pulled him up carefully from the seat he was sitting in and walked over to the door still holding his hand and we walked back over to the hall where everyone was and walked back through the doors and every student looked at us.

I watched in complete hurt as Justin put his head down in what seemed shame and his hands started to tremble, I saw the glares and whispers they were giving him and I shook my head disgusted.

I walked him back to his seat at the front and he quickly sat down there with his head looking towards the floor so that nobody could look at his tear filled face, I took his chin gently and lifted his head slowly, "Stay strong." I whispered and kissed his cheek sending a smile to him then walked back through the doors to the side of the hall so i was out of sight.

I shut the door quietly and looked through the window of the door at him, he had his head back down looking at the floor as his tears fell in silence.

I want to help him and I plan on doing that even if it's just to be there for him to talk to, I will do anything that i can to help this poor soul.

As Demi Lovato was speaking I felt really guilty but I knew it wouldn't last long, I looked around and saw other people looking a little guilty or sad and then I looked over at Justin and he was silently crying to himself as she spoke which made me feel worse than I already did.
