I Knew a sad boy

I knew a sad boy who a long time ago owed a few people money in the house that he lived in. It was really unfortunate for him but he had to move out because he could no longer afford the rent and worse still he owed a few months. When he moved out he met with one of his old housemates to talk about how he would pay back what he owed and he believed that there was a plan and that he stuck to it for a while even though the amount was very small. Now when he thinks back he can't seem to forgive himself for doing such a thing because he can't remember if he broke his payment or they said that he didn't have to pay it anymore. Ever since then he has been miserable and dare not reach out to his old friends due to shame. He was a proud boy and yet wanted the world to see that deep down he was a good boy. I told him to reach out to his old friends and seeing that they were of good nature would either totally forgive him if they haven't done so already. And if they decided to punish him the boy said that he would gladly accept it. But the poor boy shook his head and rather said that he will leave their meeting to chance. He was very proud and each day that he didn't reach out, his sadness grew larger.
