Chapter 17

• Moon reached near the lake and stopped. He punched a tree with his full strength and the tree fell on the ground. Moon's eyes were red with both anger and sadness. It was difficult for him to make a decision. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to talk with someone about it but he was afraid that they would suggest him to do something he didn't want to do. He kept it all secret from Ocean, he didn't want to pull her in his mess but Mr Samuels blurted it all out in front of Ocean. He knelt down on the ground, tears rolled down his cheeks and he cried silently upon his misery. His gaze was on the ground and he kept crying.
• Ocean reached the lake side a bit later. She looked at Moon and her heart ached seeing him cry. A tear from his eye fell on the ground when Ocean ran to him and wrapped her arms around him. He quickly wrapped his arms around her as well and he cried his pain out. She sat down on the ground and Moon buried his face in the crook of her neck. She rubbed his back soothingly in circular motion. After a few minutes, Moon felt a bit better. He broke the hug and she wiped his tears with her soft fingers. She then sat on his lap and held him close to her.
• Ocean: If you will not tell me what's troubling you, how will I help you? Moon, I know till now I was the one who needed your help and you were always there to help me. Then why can't I help you when you need it.
