Dreary

One day Suzi went over to Jason, who was sitting at the edge of the cliff.
She asked “what are you doing?”
Jason looked at her. Then back at the sun who was about to hide behind the mountain in the midst.
“Thinking” he said.
“About what?”
“About how I’m going to get help.” Jason said. Suzi noticed sadness in his eyes.
“Why do you need help?”
Jason shrugged. He directed his eyes to the city. It always helped him with stressing moments. He escaped every fear and worry that was locked inside him.
Since Jason didn’t respond to Suzi’s question, she thought it was hopeless, so she started to walk off. Then she heard a distant voice behind her. She turned swiftly around and walked back to Jason. When she got near him enough she asked, “What did you say?”
Jason said “I think I should talk to someone.”
Suzi looked intensly at him. “You mean a counselor or something?”
“Yes.”
Suzi didn’t say anything. She stared out into the city. She was fasinated by its beauty. She finally asked “Would you like to have dinner at my house tonight?”
Jason looked at her with such gratitude that Suzi smiled.
“Thank you.” And he got up and walked with her to her house, where he would feel loved for once in his long, dreary life.
