Bullied

I sat on my windowsill - playing on my guitar and singing a bit.

The sun just set - so many colors filled the sky.
The fresh spring breeze blew through the open window into my room. I took a deep breath
It cleared my head from all those sad thoughts about today.
My hands slid on my guitar. What a wonderful feeling.

I started to sing
"Alone at last, we can sit and fight.
And I've lost all faith in this blurring li-"
Felix interrupted me. He stood on the sidewalk watching me singing
I grinned "Am I such a good singer?"
He blushed "...I-it wasn't bad thought"

I wondered what he did the whole time. The school ended hours ago, but it seemed like he was on his way home from school - his bag was still on his shoulders.
But Felix was in general a weird guy and maybe it was embarrassing for him to say what he did

"Do you sing in your spare time?" I asked
He shook his head
A grin appeard on my face "Then I'll make you sing. What about hanging out a bit? Now?"
Felix smiled, but still only a little bit "That would be cool"
"Come to the door - I'm gonna open it for you"

I quickly ran downstairs. He was a pretty interesting person. I liked that and didn't want to miss any second to learn more about him.

"Why so fast?" my dad asked confused as I nearly ran into him
"A friend" I shortly answered to not waste any time

Then I opened the door
"...Uhm... you're very fast" Felix said a bit surprised about my excitement
Maybe I was overreacting.. but it wasn't important to me in that second
So I just smiled "Come in"


Later, as we sat together on my windowsill, Felix started to get more relaxed. It was easier to ask him about everything out.
"...Do you like singing.. or making music?" I tried to reach my goal step by step - real slow
He shrugged "I loved it once... I played piano and sang a lot"
"..But.?"
"W-well... It wasn't that g-good and... I wasn't made to make music" Felix avoided eye contact
"Can you remember what I sang in front of you?"
"Those two sentences? Yes.. why?"
"I want you to sing them" I smiled
He had a surprised look on his face "I-I don't think it was a good idea"
"C'mon! Only two little sentences" I already got into the right position to play the guitar

Felix sighed. He fighted a little bit against himself - against the fear of blaming himself.

"Ready?" I asked him playing the start
He nodded
..and sang...

After that short moment Felix sang, he saw at me with wide eyes "H-how was my try?"
"Try? More like performing! It was absolutely amazing!" I told him - nearly going crazy
He shrugged a bit overwhelmed "Th-thank you?"

I saw on my floor.
It was impossible that Felix 'wasn't made to make music'. He was a fantastic singer. His voice sounded like an angel.
He had to lie to me. But why did he stop singing? That's so weird

"Hey, dumbass!" someone stood in front of my house - shouting up to Felix and me. It was one of the group who made those stupid comments
"Go piss yourself!" I screamed back
"Oh, sorry, did I interrupt your talk about cutting? I'm really sorry. Seems like our dumbass put his blade away just to see you. Maybe that makes you happier" The guy laughed
Blade? Was that why he stayed for such a long time in school?
"I'll leave you two loverboys alone. See you tomorrow in school. But hopefully not!"

I stared at Felix, who completely hid his face under his hair. He was very embarrassed
"I-Is that right?" I asked him astonished
He saw even more away.
We just sat there for a lot of moments. He fighted against his tears - I fightes against my shock
Then, suddenly.. he pulled his sleeve up. Some old cuts, some fresh cuts. But way more bruises than wounds.

The bruises weren't made by him. Felix wasn't strong enough to do that to himself. He was a slight little boy. His arms were way too weak.
...there had to be someone else who did that do him.
