"Edward…" she whispered

I didn't want to hear it. I didn't want to do this. I needed to take a break from reality.

I looked away and into the rain as I felt Tanya's stare on me.

"Edward...what's that?" she asked

I quickly looked up and saw her pointing to a street light. I didn't answer, I wasn't in the mood for her stupid games.

When I didn't answer she decided to give it herself. "It's giraffe and we all live in a jungle, where humans and animals and buildings are trees for us to live" she said with a small bit of excitement in her voice.

I sometimes wonder if she even sees the world of how it REALLY is. There are people dying in the war, she wouldn't even realize. We're in a recession, she'll shrug it off as if it was no big deal!

"Tanya! Don't you see! It's a street-light! why can you just see what things really are!" I screamed at her. I couldn't help it, she needed to open her eyes to reality.

"W-What do you mean?" she asked shivering slightly in the cold weather.

"Oh! Let me see??? Your parents! They aren't happy, Tanya! Why don't you see that, they practically hate each other! They aren't in love, Tanya, and I don't think they ever will be!" I yelled, venting out my anger and frustration at her.

She started to cry just as the rain started to pour. I suddenly felt a pang of guilt go through me.

It was cruel of me to yell at her like that, it was just innocence that took over her. It wasn't her fault.

I slowly walked over to her and put my jacket around her.

"E-Edward, let's talk about this" she said through her gritted teeth

I nodded as we walked to a small bench.

She turned to face me and started to speak.

"My parents were in love at some point, but in another point in time, when I was about 8, they fell out of love. I remember the arguments they would have when they thought I was asleep. I also remember when I was about 10, and my mother found out my father was cheating on her, she left. I didn't talk to my father for the first month, I missed my mom and I would never forgive him for what her did to her. She came back after two months, and the only reason she even came back was for me. I always feel guilty about making them unhappy, and I know the only string that ties them together is me." she sighed after the long monologue.

"Anyway, the point is, is that I know that I have closed my eyes to reality, and I know that I can be unreal sometimes, but please, I'm begging you, don't try to open my eyes. I will do it myself eventually" she said.

I nodded. I was unable to speak, I didn't mean to be so rude to her. But this conversation we had made me respect Tanya more. That even though she's been through a lot she hasn't dumped it on people, making every one take pity on her.

humph...unlike me...

A/N: Yeah, super short chapter! The next one will be MUCH better.
