You know, it could be, she just didn't know how to tell you. Or maybe she was worried about what you would think, or she was worried that... she'd disappoint you. Maybe she was afraid. And maybe... maybe she didn't want anyone to know. She tried to hide it. She put on her bravest face, and she did her best to look strong in front of everyone. But still, she knew, she knew she wasn't strong. And the more she tried to hide it, the more ashamed she felt, the more she begin to hate herself, and the more she begin to be afraid that you would hate her too, if you knew the truth, if you knew how scared she was to face the other kids. And maybe that's the reason she couldn't say anything to you. Maybe that's why she ran away. Because the thing she was most afraid of, the thought that scared her the most, was that her mother would reject her. That she would be hated by someone she loved.
