Song: Why ~ Rascal Flatts
"James, what's wrong? You haven't talked to me all day." Lily asked, worried.
"I don't want to talk about it." James said stonily. He hadn't left his room all day.
"Come on, James. What happened?"
"Don't worry about it," James said, his voice husky with unshed tears.
"Fine, then," Lily said, but didn't leave. "I'll just wait until you are ready to tell me about it."
James half-smiled, "You're persistent, I like that about you."
Lily smiled back, "I learned from the best."
In a few minutes, James looked Lily in the eye, tears shining in his eyes.
"My dad died this morning."
"Oh, James." Lily said, engulfing him in a hug. "I'm sorry."
Lily comforted James as he cried unashamedly until he looked back into her eyes.
"I love you, Lily."
"I love you, too, James."
