You and your enemy Brian never liked each other, but, to your bad, he was also your brothers best friend, so you saw him at least twice a week.*

Gladly, your brother moves away soon, so you won’t see Brian as often anymore. One evening, it was raining hardly outside, but you still decided to go out. Your parents fought again, so you sat down at a tree, not minding the rain which has already made you soaked. Tears fell down your face as you suddenly hear footsteps. His footsteps.

You ignored him, hoping he’ll just walk past, but you felt his presence. He was staying.

Just as you wanted to get up to leave, he speaks „Why are you crying this late, Princess? It’s raining“ He says, his deep voice sending shivers down your spine. You never liked the nickname ‘princess‘ he gave you, but in this moment, you didn’t seem to mind, no, you would even say you liked it. His presence was somewhat comforting, but your tears continued to fall down your face. You wanted to deny it, say that you weren’t crying, say that it’s just the rain, but you couldn’t. He knew you were.

you never told anyone about your family’s problems, never wanting anyone to know. You were the sunshine, that one person who’s always happy, who can always make a smile on everyone’s face. But deep inside, you just wished anyone would secretly know about your situation, just waiting for the right opportunity to help you, but no one did. Should you tell him? He’s your enemy! „Answer me, princess. Why. Are. You. Crying?“ He asks again. His voice totally lost its normal mocking tone. Instead, it’s almost angry, as if he wold kill the person who made you cry. It’s as if he would… care.
