⚠️TW : This chapter contains mention of rape⚠️

The closest memory to this one was the time where we met again, a few days later. I had gotten into a pretty bad fight with my parents and decided to go for a long stroll in the clear woods near my house; allowing them to track my phone of course. For the occasion, I had taken my thicker, royal blue muffler along with the oversized dark red hoodie I got for my 17th birthday. I loved this place and I'm sure you knew that by the amount of times I'd leave to come here. Around the entrance, adorned with a sign with the same word on it, were a few benches along a fence, keeping animals from attacking them.

For some reason, I decided to call you despite having almost no data left. Once you answered, no noise was heard, just the ruffling sound of the wind and the cold. At least you were alive and that kinda reassured me.

"Hello?"

No answer.

"Ink are you okay?"

I remembered that you didn't talk and felt guilty as I tried to come up with something to make us communicate.

"Anyways, I shared my location with you, would you like to go on a walk with me across the forest? Make some noise if yes."

I heard hand clapping from across the phone.

"Alright, I'll wait for you at the entrance. I won't go inside yet."

I then sat on a bench and took a power nap, the breeze hitting my cheeks and freezing them a little as the atmosphere was quite comfortable to rest in. I closed my eyes and already fell asleep, I have to find a better way to live off four or five hours of sleep.

Once I woke up, I felt some warmth next to me and you ended up being huddled against my arm, getting some sleep as well. This was the first time I had realized that we could have a decent friendship. Not to be rude, I pushed you aside and tried to wake you up but to no avail. I then noticed your freezing breath and hugged you despite my haphephobia. It was awkward, hugging someone who's shaking and isolated.

After a good five minutes, you opened your eyes and pushed me off before I chuckled and regained sanity from that. The whole touching thing was still a big no to me.

"Hey, are you okay? Where did you end up sleeping?"

You took out the familiar booklet.

'I'm fine I guess and I slept out in the open, on a bench. I'm surprised I didn't get robbed.'

I needed to help because sooner or later, he was going to get hurt. I'm very defensive of my friends... I just recalled the time Dream got into a fight with some other girls in her class in sixth grade. They tried to take off her clothes to send her to some boy who wanted to see some nudes from them. Anyways, I wasn't getting any of that so I beat them up to a point where they broke a few bones then did the same to that guy. I was injured as well after that and expelled but it was worth it. Ever since, no one has messed with Dream and I wouldn't be shy to break someone's nose because of it.

"Have you eaten?"

I asked, out of the blue.

'I don't have the money to buy anything.'

"So you haven't eaten in about a day?"

'It's fine, I'm used to eating a little.'

"You must be starving!"

'No, not much.'

"I'm going to bring you to a restaurant later... c'mon, let's get walking first."
