He owes me an apology. I would have apologized. Why would I harm a small boy intentionally? He was undoubtedly out of line.
"Do any other people know your L?" Jacob had been asking many questions after learning I was doing what he claimed to want in the future. I am positive that someone cannot understand this life until they live it.
"No one else can know I'm L."
If I actually had someone to tell maybe things would have worked out differently.
"Do you always stack things?" Referring to the matches I have collected and placed carefully.
These questions...
"Yes."
"I like sports, all sports."
"I hear other children playing." It was getting colder, however I would guess they wouldn't want to 'waste' a day without classes.
"I would be outside but Roger told me to spend today in here. I think I have a game that you and I could both enjoy."
He ran out of my office.
...
He was L. I still can't believe it. The only way to describe him was 'white'. He looked so uncaring, would he want to fight for justice?
"Julie!" I walked right into a running Jacob. "Why are running around?"
"I getting a game to play with Near!"
"Are you sure he's safe... he's so blank."
"Oh Julie you don't have to worry about me with Near. Roger says he's okay with no doubts."
"Okay then."
He continued to run in search of the game.
"Hey Jules, let's go outside."
"Okay, maybe my studies can wait this time. Never call me that again."
...
"Sorry Roger, I can't apologize."
"You falsely accused him and physically assaulted him!"
"I'm sure he doesn't care, nothing fazes him."
"Zac, do you even know what you're saying? Just because someone isn't emotional that doesn't mean they don't have emotions, and you can't fault him for not feeling the same as you."
"It's just not as easy as you say it is. How and why would I forgive someone who I am no longer sorry for?"
"You don't know anything about this."
"There's no way I could."
