Chapter 9 - Part Eight: Breaking?

I was crying. I felt weakened. I hope no one hears or sees me crying. I probably wouldn't be able to live it down, because no ones seen or heard me crying.

A while later, I was still crying. I heard footsteps, I tried stop crying, but I couldn't.

"Aph?" a male voice called out.

"Y-Yes?" I replied.

"Can I come in?" he asked.

"N-No."

He comes in.

"I said no! Get out!!" I yelled, sobbing.

"No. You're crying and you need someone to comfort you," he said.

"Tyler, I said get out. I don't want anyone to find out about this."

"About what? You being weak? They know that you're human," Tyler said, "they know that one of these days, you were going to break from the stress."

"They probably won't let me forget about this," I said as I was crying.

He walks over to me and hugs me. My eyes widened when he hugged me, but I did hug him back, still crying.

"Aph, they won't say anything about this to you or won't let you forget that this. They're going to keep you distracted and busy so you can't think about it," he said, "I can promise you that."

I nod, because I couldn't think of words to say or to argue. I know my companions have my back and will try to cheer me up.

"You better stop crying before I start tickling you," Tyler said as he looked at me.

"I can't stop crying. I've tried," I said as I looked at him.

"Apparently not hard enough," he said as he started to tickle me.

I started laughing, but I let out a few cries. He kept tickling me until I stopped crying, which was a few minutes.

"Th-Thanks, Tyler," I said as I tried to stop laughing.

"You're welcome, princess," he said as he stopped tickling me.

"Pr-Princess?" I asked as I looked at him.

"Yeah?" he replied.

"Why? How did you find out?!?"

"Be-Wait. What? How did I find out? What do you mean?"

"Uuuuuuhhhhhhh. Nothing. Forget I asked that."

"Aph, are you the lost princess?" He asked.
