Cypress swung around though, when he heard Lee crying loudly. He saw Lee curled up crying his heart out his face twisted in anger and pain. Cypress sat down next to him and sighed realizing just how much that probably hurt. Please Lee sobbed please don't come near me I just want to be left alone. Cypress ignored him and wrapped his arms around him pulling him into a hug. Don't worry I said I wasn't going to hurt you again and I meant it Cypress whispered I'm sorry that I scared you and I'm sorry about what your mother said. Lee stared in surprise but then hugged him back and cried into his shoulder. Cypress carefully untangled himself from Lee who had now fallen asleep and laid him gently against the base of a tree. What am I going to do now Cypress whispered to himself as he laid down next to the water with a sigh. Lee woke up to see the sun rising slowly into the sky with a hazy mist hanging heavily in the air. He looked around till he spotted Cypress sitting by the water drawing things in the sand. Lee not having the courage to say anything waited for Cypress to notice he was awake. It took almost fifteen minutes for Cypress to turn around and notice him. Oh good morning Cypress said grinning. Hey about last night Lee said uncomfortably I'm sorry I got so overemotional. Ah it's fine Cypress said trying to change the subject but I have a question. Yeah Lee asked. Do you want me to fix your hip Cypress asked coming to sit by him. If you wouldn't mind Lee said it will probably be easier to walk with both functioning legs. After It's healed the pain should fade Cypress said taking Lee's shorts elastic and sliding it down so he could reach the skin. Lee's face turned pink as Cypress put his hands on his skin. After a minute Cypress stood up. There he said you should be able to walk fine now. Lee pulled himself upright still wobbly. An awkward silence filled the space as they both waited for the other to say something. Cypress sighed. You should probably go back to the city he said turning away I have to get going anyway. But Lee blurted I can't I don't have anywhere to go and I don't even know the way back. Can't you just rent an apartment or something Cypress asked. With what money Lee asked besides the minute they realize how old I am they'll just send me back to my mother or the authorities. Right Cypress said trying to think of another idea. Can... Can I... Come with you Lee asked nervously.
