~Echo~
I looked down suddenly guilty that I had asked him such a personal question to have made him have such a hurt look on his face.
"Je suis désolée." I apoligized to him.
I knew that face all too well; I had only seen it in the mirror a thousand times. "Trust me, I know how it feels." I said quietly brushing my leg aknowledging the old burns that lay underneath the fabric. The sudden recollection of them almost threatening to crush my soul. It was so heavy on my chest; I could hardly breathe.
"Echo." I was startled by the sudden calling of my name. "You look like you're in pain, what is it?"
His golden eyes were written with concern. I stared at him for a moment then smiled softly trying my best to hide it.
"Je vais bien." I told him assuringly; I hoped he would buy it.
I self-consciencely punched myself again; why couldn't I stop speaking french? I'm sure it had to have bothered him by now.
"I'm fine." I breathed.
Something deep within me wanted to tell Shadow everything; I wanted to be able to confess all that I had been holding onto. But, it had been strangling my heart for so long I was hesitant even to just talk to him much less confide in him.
