I felt something wet coating every surface of my body. It felt thick and made it hard for me to breathe. My eyes not being able to see, eyelids shut. I could hear a low voice mumbling something, my ears could hardly pick. I try harder to listen. " Jade... Me.... Okay".

My eyes opened themselves trying to adjust to the light around me until it saw red. The world spinning in my head started spinning ten times faster. My body is defenceless, unable to move.

" Jade, are you okay?"

The voice stabilized my spinning universe. I slowly looked up and the rising panic inside me subsided when I realised the ' red ' was Allison's shirt and I'm not where I thought I was.

"I'm exhausted" A yawn escaped, the sunlight too bright for my liking. I prefer the dark but Allison here was the goddess of light. She keeps me sane and moving. She brings warmth to my cold world.

"Well, you look the part! What happened? " Concern coating her features. My hazel eyes meet her dark ones and she takes a hint.

"Jade, was it that bad today? The bags under your eyes are scaring me! " She paused to take a look at me before continuing, " Do you want to talk about it? " I can see the sadness and concern in her big eyes.

Her question panics me. The memory of last night stung my body like a sore muscle. Should I tell her about last night? About dad? I'm sure she will understand right?

Of course NO! You pathetic loser!! What! Do you want her to pity you? Tell her so she realises you are such a low life and then drop your ass like dead weight?

"Jade. What's wrong?" Her voice bringing me back to reality.

"A... I was reading up till late before sleeping." I paused to check if what I said made sense. Once confirmed I continued, " Didn't get enough sleep " I dressed up my lie with no eye contact. Her hands held my shoulder ingeniously

" You don't have to say anything if you don't want to. Just don't lie to me, you are not good at it. " With that said she pulls me in for a hug. I almost stumble on her but hugged her tighter.

"Thank you " I whispered to her, tears trickling down my face and a sure smile plastered on both of our faces.

" Well I gotta tell you though, your breath stinks!" I unlock my hands from her neck reaching for the nearest pillow, directing it towards her head. The pillow made strands of her brown hair dishevelled making both of us break into a stomach aching laughter.

This was Allison, her superpower is to turn your bad day around."Hey, i did my hair!" She protested with a fake cry. "Also get up you lazy ass, did you spare a glance at the time? " Her sarcastic warning made me get up in a rush.

"I will be ready in 30" My voice expressed how sleepy I was. My eyes half-closed, trying to sneak a few more seconds of sleep, the bright sunlight making me annoyed.

She chuckled, "We'll let you know we are going out Friday night. And by 'we' i mean you and me ." She speaks loud enough for me to hear from the bathroom.

This is probably the 30th time she asked me to 'go out with her which is a code for 'partying'. I know she does this to keep me company, to make me feel happy, surrounded with people and alive but it's just not me. She tries to make me socialize but I am absolutely fine being alone with my books and watching reruns of Harry Potter.
