You sit in silence on your bed, trying process what you just read.
Reading his journal felt like experiencing everything through his eyes, his body.
Matt had a crush on this girl named Katy?
She was the first girl Matt ever liked.
Matt didn't even bring her up in any of your conversations with him.
You guessed that he had a reason to not talk about her.
Damn the bullies.
The fucking bullies.
Where in the hell were you when he suffered through all of that?
And for him to experience something so...hurtful at a very young age...

He'd seen Hell.

After sometime of thinking, you decided to confront him about it.
You don't care if he'll get mad for you, snooping into his private life.
You just wanted answers.

Upon coming onto his bedroom door, you knock.
"Matt?"
You say,
"Can...we talk about something?"

After a minute of silence, he opened the door.

"(Y/N)? What do you want to talk about?" He asks.
You didn't speak for awhile, "Just...can I come in?" You requested.

Matt nods, a bit confused at your actions.

You sit on his bed, making yourself comfortable.
Matt sits next to you,

"So...um..." He starts speaking, clearly not catching up to the situation.
"Matt, do you remember a girl named Katy in your life?" You ask him,
He seemed a bit stunned at your sudden seriousness.

"Who?"

His question seemed to shake you.

"Katy...you know...that girl who was with you in the orphanage?" You ask again.

He seems to not remember her.
With no other choice, you pull out his journal, turning to the page titled "Katy".
"Read this, maybe it'll help you remember." You said, shoving the open book onto his hands.

His eyes scan the page, left to right, reading every word there was to read.

"It's official! We're friends!"

"Silly! I told you! I have super powers!"

"Oh my gosh! You look so cute! If only I could take a picture..."

"Nooo...I wanna nap with you!"

"I'm sad that I'm gonna leave you."
"Please. Don't forget about me."
"I'll miss you!"

"...Don't I make you happy?"

...And thus, the old, wrinkled pages were now smudged with drops.

"K-Katy..." Matt whimpered. "No..."

All you could do was stare at him pitifully.
Katy was a special girl to Matt.
And like the pages had said,

She made him happy.

Something you couldn't do.
All you could do was sit there and listen to what he had to say.
All you could do was get mad at him for not confronting his siblings sooner.
All you could do was tell him to be open.

Katy's doings were completely different.

She had made him feel special.
She made him feel belonged.
She...made him happy.
