Chapter Fifty-One: "Rider"

Over the course of my life I've come across a young face, someone to help me learn, to help me understand, or at other times, someone in need of saving, helping, and steering in the right path.

Thin Ice

Bad Girl

Lil' Devil

Wild Child

Batgirl

To name a few, or at least, the ones that are worth mentioning.

And now you, Rider.

Another fresh Chapter, one too early to tell what it will read as.

I believe every Chapter happens for a reason; it is only Time that decides when I will learn that reason, whether it comes to me as a lesson, or a loss.

To teach. To learn.

To laugh. To cry.

To help. Or to fail.

But I can only hope that you can grow to understand.

For there are many things I have yet to understand.

But once a Chapter walks through my path, it is hard for that part of me not to pay attention, it is hard not to listen to it whisper in my ear, asking questions.

It is a test, a trigger--

If I could predict it, it would answer many questions, instead of creating more.

But I cannot predict Him, I cannot know when He'll find another Chapter.

I grow scared and I grow weary, and the last thing I want is to confuse.

Friendship is built from Trust.
