Taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly, I relaxed my shoulders. The psychologist just gave me an approving look. “Good job, Anna.” The girls beside me squeezed my shoulders comfortingly. “We’re so sorry, and thank you for telling us.” Lyra sighed.

I shook my head. “Our burdens may be of different magnitudes, but they are still burdens; they still weigh on our souls." The psychologist nodded. "Well said, Anna."

Serena's ears were drumming the same words which he slapped at her face without having any thought about how much it affected her deep down. "Just a burden!" Serena repeated his words with her voice, trembling. How did she never thought about that, responsibility was what everyone named her but she was actually a burden to everyone. Christopher was right! "Only a Burden!"

The phone is still in his other hand, knuckles white, and for a moment, I wonder if he’s going to break it in two. I want to say something, but the words just stick in my throat.

“If he loves me, he will tell me to my face, not hide it and I’m tired of hearing about the future.’ “Put yourself in his shoes. It’s a heavy burden.’ Heavy burden? “Is that all I am worth? A heavy burden? Why should I do that? I don’t have any idea what you guys are trying to protect me from when he wouldn’t say anything. Did you guys have any clue how this hurt me so much? You guys broke my heart, you left me all alone and I hate the both of you for doing that to me.” I slammed down the pavement with my fist, which crackled, creating a hole, and Carmine put his hands on my shoulders and clasped them.

With a heavy heart, but a conscious mind nevertheless. ##########

Pen poised above the paper, she hesitated, searching for the right words that could capture the swirling tempest inside her. *The weight of life feels heavier than I imagined.* She began, her script flowing smoothly yet trembling slightly. *It’s as if I’m being crushed under the burden of my past decisions. I had dreams once, bright and untarnished dreams. But life has a way of subverting expectations. What if I’m just repeating the mistakes of those before me?*

“Not enough. Not until Kieran’s safe. Not until this is over.” I could feel my heart tightening at the words, the familiar weight of responsibility pressing down on my shoulders.

Kai's gaze was intense, anger and frustration etched across his face “you are nothing but a burden, always causing trouble and putting people in danger” His words hit me like a storm, it was true, I was a burden.

I blinked, my vision blurring slightly, then focused again on the caption. “My little man, making me proud every day. #DadLife #FamilyFirst.” I didn’t remember the last time my heart had felt so heavy. It wasn’t the kind of weight you feel when you’re sad or tired. It was the kind of weight that sinks into your chest and makes breathing feel like work. Like gravity had suddenly doubled. I wanted to laugh it off. I wanted to tell myself it was fake. A cousin. A nephew. A photoshoot. A throwback. A lie. Anything.

However, standing there after hearing the words that came out of Asher's mouth without him reiterating it, I wanted to die. My heart felt so heavy, like a boulder I couldn't lift and so gravity brought it down to the earth. This time, my heart was the boulder that was too heavy for me to carry.
