"It's how my family is.. There is nothing I can do about it, Bobby.." he told her. "I've learned to accept it no matter how bad it gets.." Though he could feel her clinging to him, he felt a little bit sad too now that he thought about it. "My father isn't a very nice person, and I know there are not many nice people around, not even in school.. But I want you to know that your not the cause.. Life is throwing challenges at you, testing your strength.." He held her closer to him, resting one hand on her back, the other on the back of her head. "Don't ever say that it's your fault.. Because it's not.. Life is giving you a test.." For the time being, he just stood there and hugged her, no words were exchanged anymore. He just wanted her to calm down or something.
