I woke up to somebody crying at 4 a.m. I went to go run downstairs thinking it was my mother. But I saw my moms friend Maria she was drunk bawling her eyes out while my mom was trying to calm her down. My mother saw me and told me to come down and calm her down while she prepares a room for her. I came down despite being tired. When mom went to go prepare the room, I went to go have a conversation with Maria. I asked what happened and which in response she said "my husband cheated on me and announced it all over the internet that we are getting a divorce". "Why are you crying then I thought you hated him?" I asked. "Even If it was an arranged marriage it doesn't make it hurt less" she said. I felt hurt by the way her voice was I sympathized with her In a way. She then laughed with even more tears dripping from her face. "what did I hic ever do t-to very deserve something like this". "please anyone tell me what's wrong with me" she sobbed. As her tears continued falling I remembered a faint memory from those words. One where I was marked as strange because I could see these spirit like things that no one could see I would talk to them and play with them. But others whispered at how I should be sent to a priest or an insane asylum. Another said that I was haunted. More rumours would spread about me and the more people would leave me. I thought that there was something extremely wrong with me too... I looked over at her and I did what I hoped somebody would've done for me back then. I hugged her while saying "none of this is your fault you are not to blame for any of this, you shouldn't have to go through this alone". She hugged me back while crying until she fell asleep. My mother came over and said "when I get ahold of her husband I'm going to kill him myself". she then asked me to help bring Maria to her room. I nodded and grabbed her arm and my mother grabbed the other arm. We carried her all the way to the bedroom. "why  don't I make some soup since we woke you up" my mother said. "it's okay I'm not hungry right now I'm pretty tired so I wanna get some sleep" I said. To be honest I was tired I wasn't lying about that but I don't want take the chance for "that" to happen... "Alright good night dear, I won't be here in the morning so try and wake up for school" mother said. I went upstairs to my room. It's hard to sleep even though I am tired isn't that odd. I'll just look around on the internet. *ding* huh? It's a message. I wonder who it is from? Oh it's Shiro. 

                                                                       4:29 a.m.

Shiro: Hey are you asleep?

Me: No not yet, why are you texting me so early what's up?

Shiro: I was wondering if you packed up.

Me: packed up?

Shiro: University is far away from where we live so I got an apartment near the university for us to live in.

Me: I haven't packed yet I'll go do that right now!

Shiro: Well I'm glad I reminded you then. 

Shiro: I'll pick you up at 6 so we have time to unpack

Me: thank you I'll see you later
