i told him that he was too good for them, and he looked at me with tear-filled, hopeful eyes. he had asked if i really thought that, and i said yes. i said that they don't deserve to be his friends after what they did, and he looked incredibly happy. he then told me, that, i made him not hurt as much anymore.

he wasn't hurt as much anymore - because of me.

A/N: THE END! I will start the sequel tomorrow, so don't be too sad that it's over! :D (or too happy, idk)
