Truth comes with Forgiveness of Self

                                    

                                          
Since he and his brother met those new people and befriended them, Marcus Weeder felt like a different person, since he and his brother has been getting along with with Stella Loussier, Auel Neider, Sting Oakley, Mayu Asuka, Meer Campbell, and Flay Allster.
After that day of meeting those new people, Marcus started to feel less tense when around girls, and begins to talk to his parents about how he felt about being around girls.
Marcus and Richard explains to their parents about the new people they befriended, and was about to mention to them that they lived two floors above them, but told them they lived not far from here.
Richard told their parents that Marcus was the first one to meet them, when he caught Stella right when she was about to fall on the pavement.
Their father turns to Marcus and smiles. "That's very kind of you, and that makes you a certified gentleman!"
"Yes, Marc! Father's right, and you must've have feelings for her, right?"
Marcus turns his eyes down to the floor after his mother said this, and looks back up to her and admits, "While I spent time with Stella yesterday, I started to developed a close bond with her. I looked at her as a friend, but on one hand I started to developing a romantic feelings for her, because I never seen any girl that's so beautiful! Her violet eyes, and her blonde short hair."
Marcus' parents and brother looks at him with a smile, and the mother spoke. "You seemed to found a love interest, huh?!"
The mother hugs Marcus and said, "You're making your mother so proud, as you have made your grandparents very proud of a person you are! You're a sweet, kind, and caring soul. And I will be glad to meet her one day when you two get close."
Marcus smiles as he felt tears building up, but held back. He then said, "But there's something that kind of made me feel bad for her. It's that when I left her behind, she became worried and saddened that we won't see each other. And not only that, I noticed a little bit of times is that she felt like something's bothering her, and I just wished that I could muster up my courage to let her talk to me and tell me what's on her mind. Just to give her peace of mind!"
Marcus' parents understands what he meant, and the father gave him an advice on how to deal with problems, and let them get something off of their chests to clear their minds from negative emotions.
The mother adds, "The more you listen to the girl's problems, the more trust and reassurance you give her! You're willing to help a friend in need, and that makes you a decent person! Don't be afraid of listening to her. If she needs someone to talk too, you need to be there for her."
Since his mother told him this, Marcus became focused on spending more time with Stella, and help her with whatever's troubling her. Marcus started to help Stella to talk regularly like every people communicates with others, helping her out with vocabulary and speaking good sentences.
He and Stella spent a bit times while they walked their ways to schools and back home. On the weekends, they hang out around her place with Sting and Auel, along with hanging around with Meer, Flay, and Mayu. Marcus shares his music to them, and they enjoyed the music they just heard from Marcus. He shares them mixed martial arts, and taught them that it's for self defense.
It's been nearly a month of them being friends. But one day, Marcus did notice that while they head to their schools, Stella looks sad, and Marcus asks her if she wants to talk about what's bothering her. But Stella refused, stating, "I don't want to talk about it. Because you'll think I'm someone that you don't want anything to do with."
