Chapter 83

• "Oh no!" She put her palm to her mouth in shock. I didn't need anyone to tell me that she'd just figured out my plan. She pulled her hand from her mouth, and gave a pleading look. "Please honey, don't ever try to do this again." She begged, tears clouding her eyes. Her tears touched the deepest parts of my soul. How could she feel so sorry for me, to the extent of crying?
• "I'm pathetic." I released a sigh, tears accompanying it. "And I'm tired of crying." I added in between tears. "This is the only way." I continued, my throat suddenly feeling dry and sore. "And I doubted a knife would do a clean job, seeing as I heal really fast." I sniffled. "So I settled for this." I raised the rope in emphasis. I didn't see it coming when she ran towards me, and gave me a tight hug. She was more petite than I was, so it almost felt like I was the one consoling her.
• It actually felt like she was going through her fair shares of problems too. We stayed in each other's arms for a long while, and I didn't even realize when the rope fell off my hand.
