11 moments. Moment 3

“Maybe I was expecting too much,maybe she doesn’t even take me as a close friend”Jessica said,looking up at Naeto.He stood up and walked down the stairs to her,sitting beside her on one of them. “Why do you say that?”he asked. “When I confronted her,she acted like it was no big deal,like she doesn’t really care”she replied. He took her right hand,intertwining their fingers as she laid her head on his shoulder. “Sometimes she acts like i’m a parasite.I just…I just want to be real,have good friends”she said and looked up at him,”People I can count on and who can count on me.I’m just so used to people looking down on me that sometimes I look down on myself too”. “She’s not worth it.Let her go”he whispered as she looked down at their entwined fingers,”You already have them.Your parents…me”. She raised her head and stared at him. “You can always count on me” In that moment as she got lost in his eyes,she knew there was no escape from him.
