Third person

      Alab hanging their head low. Drenched and soaked in the rainwater. No umbrella nor a raincoat. They sighed and walked around the corner, focusing on only the thoughts in their head. Alab was mentally and emotionally drained. They were bullied and picked on almost their whole life by someone named Thiago. Alab still remembered his whole identity and everything he did during those years. Alab hated him, they were thirsty for revenge. They tried to forget everything about Thiago, but thinking of him only made it worse. The worst thing Thiago did was 2 years ago, stealing all of Alab's paperwork that Alab spent years on to get their dream job. Alab's fist clenched just thinking about it. They couldn't get over it even after Thiago's disappearance. Alab walked from the neighborhood to the town and found an empty bench to sit on. There, Alab calmed down a bit and just sat there for a while, hands in pockets. 

    The rain clouds were grey and gloomy, just like how Alab felt for almost their whole life. Alab didn't feel like talking to anyone, nor even look at them. Everyone was a ghost to Alab. Their eyes stayed dull and sad. Alab had no energy in their body, their head was spinning. It was cold, and Alab was probably going to get sick, but Alab didn't care. Alab was tired, they closed their eyes for a few minutes listening to the sound of the raindrops. They were actually enjoying themself for once until they felt the rain stop dropping. Alab opened their eyes and saw a faint circular shadow. They turned around slowly and met their eyes with a middle-aged man holding his umbrella over Alab. Alab immediately knew who it was despite the person wearing a black face mask and a navy blue jacket that was zipped up halfway with the same green and yellow shirt he wore years ago underneath. Thiago. He was soaked in rainwater. Why is Thiago being nice this time? Alab thought. They both were staring at each other for about a good 5 minutes, until Thiago sat down on the same bench as Alab, holding the umbrella over both of them. "Hello Alab. It's been a while huh?" Thiago chuckled. Alab was still staring at him in shock. "Why are you being nice to me?" Alab said in confusion. "Can I not be nice to my own enemy?" Thiago responded. Alab didn't know what to respond with so they just kept quiet. "You're soaked. Aren't you cold?" Thiago said. "Well, yeah. But I love the rain so I don't care." Alab responded. "I love the rain too." Thiago said. "Anyways we should go now, before you get the flu. You're more soaked than me." Alab still didn't really like Thiago still, but because of how he was acting Alab decided to just give him a chance. "Fine." Alab said, which made Thiago a bit happy.

Thiago

      Alab didn't seem like he forgave me, which honestly I don't care because of all the damage I did to his life. I felt so guilty after what I did to him, especially the worst one 2 years ago, which is why I disappeared for a while. The thing is, my parents weren't so nice back then. They were.. mentally and physically abusive. So I took my anger out on other people, Alab was my main target. I honestly didn't like what he always wore back then, the beige "I <3 you" sweater. Probably because my parents never actually said that to me even after I was born. After I was born they didn't like how I looked so they went out at night with me and left me in a dumpster. But apparently abandoning babies in a dumpster was illegal so they had to take me back home, so I grew up in an abusive household. So cool, am I right? Anyways.
