I thought of my past life as I yelled at him. After Keith had abandoned me I had been completely alone. It was just my son and I trying to make things work on our own. How nice it would have been to have someone on my side someone to talk to! Someone to believe me. I thought of how good it felt to talk with Louis.
"So you can never be sure whether someone can help you or not if you don't talk to them. You don't have to do everything yourself! You're too young to burden yourself like this. It's okay to ask for help!" I yelled at him. "So I'm sorry if I'm overstepping but there's no way I could live wit myself knowing someone who needed help
I gave him a serious determined look as I explained to him. I wasn't backing down. Underneath the dismissive things he was saying I could tell he was someone who needed help. It takes one to know one after all.
