Cris felt like the lighting had struck him directly. He never thought he had been hurting him for such a long time now by keeping him in the dark. He didn't know. He stupidly believed him when he said he was fine with it.
"I'm sorry…" Cris mumbled, his voice raw with pain. He lifted his hand to touch his face but he stopped midway. "I didn't know that I've been hurting you. But believe me… I… I know I need to tell you everything."
"But you didn't!"
"I know… It's very… I'm…" He was at a loss for words. He knew that at some point he would have to tell Kelvin but he had been putting it off because for the first time in his life, he was afraid of losing someone precious to him. "Because I'm scared, Kelvin!" he said with anguish as he ran his hand roughly through his soaked hair.
There.
