I tell Jaser
I'll walk home by myself tonight.
An awkward silence falls between us,
then he turns and walks away.
I tell him on nights
like this,
People in the neighborhood
would notice him,
and call the police.
But honestly,
I feel to weak to be alone with him...
With one gaze into his eyes,
I feels as if my deepest,
darkest secrets
could spill to the surface,
causing chaos and confusion...
-No, I couldn't risk it.
My parents aren't home,
so I crash on the couch.
I'm too tired to walk up the stairs.
