Miracles: Chapter 8 I was walking down the path when someone ran into me. "Hey! Watch it!" I say to him. "Sorry. I was just . . . having . . . trouble . . . seeing in . . . the dark." He said back. "Oh sorry. I'm just a little upset. So, what's your name? I'm Lelo. Like after the movie? Lelo and Stich? My dad's from Hawaii." "I'm Raydin. My dad's from Canada." He smiled so me. I took a closer look at him. He had blue hair and a tattoo from his hips to his neck. The tattoo was blue and green swirls and waves. And his eyes were a beautiful green. Like the sea of Hawaii. And he looked my age. Around fifteen. "So, Raydin. Where you from?" "I just said. Canada." "Then are you just visiting?" "Why? Are you coming to see a relative?" He shone his head. "What, then?" "Can you keep a secret, Lelo?" "Of course." "My dad had passed before. So I kinda ran away." "How?" "How what?" "How to both?" "I bought a plane ticket and flew down here and my dad died from. . ." I tilt my head and widen my eyes. "Cross your heart." I trace my finger in an X over my heart. "He jumped off a cliff and hit shallow water." "Is that how he died?" "No. After he was out of the hospital he shot himself." "Oh my God. Why?" He shook his head. "Your the third one to know. Otherwise it's just me and mom." "Without thinking I wrap my arms around him, one on his neck an the other around his waist. He looks surprised at my action but after a while he returned my hug and we just stood there a bit. His blue hair mixing with my brown. "I'm do sorry!" I pull away and put my hands on his shoulders. "Don't be." He said , shrugging his shoulders and looking at his feet. I couldn't help but ask, "Why?"
