Tinkering Hearts

Chapter Five

Zaelia

Sia: Hey!
Sia: Heyhihello
Sia: Dumbass come online!!!
Sia: Look at this cat pfft

There is a video attached. I click on it and get ear raped.

Zee: Fuck you :)

I wait for a moment laughing at how I did not see that coming.

Sia: LOL here you are
Sia: So?? How's life?

And she sends a gif of it.

Zee: Unpredictable

Sia: Bish... you unpredictably found prince charming??? :0

Zee: No, you dumbass
Zee: On second thought, he actually looks like one...

Sia: *gasp gasp GASP* SPILLLL
Sia: But before that, where the hell have you been?

Zee: Some bad days..

Sia: You gotta tell me what's wrong.

And so I tell Sia, my only bestie, about everything that has been happening. She gasps a lot. That's the thing. Online friends, whoever they are, can always be counted on. They don't need to know who we are, how we look, where we live, or anything. They're just always there for us, whenever we need them.

Well, most of them.

And we don't know who they exactly are too. It might pose a problem but it's only fair. So there's no way of bumping into each other and panicking that they'll use dirt against you. Unlike real people, whom I am panicking about now.

My life was just fine. OK. Normal. No one to bother me. Me and the things I love. I was free that way. Well of course until the stupid me trusted a stranger.

My laptop beeps.

Sia: OK, whoa... like... WHOA!!!
Sia: GET YOUR PRINCE BAEE

Zee: Um... aren't you supposed to comfort me? My head's been eaten you douche!

Sia: No silly, your head is getting back into place. It was... slightly bent before

Zee: o.o

Sia: No seriously, can't you see? Its love at first sight! How come you such a romance bookworm not see it?

Zee: Sia! You got it all wrong. He likes Naureen. You should've seen his face! How lovesick he looked with her. And that's not the point here. I want to undo everything I told him. I can't trust him with my life matters. You know I can't trust anyone after that happened right?

Sia: Naureen is a straight up bitch. I know she created trust issues in you, but this guy seems different. He can't betray you. And if he does, I am going straight at him for a kick and give him a life of hell pit. But you really should give him a chance. He and Naureen are not even together. How can you just assume anything? Zee, this is a great chance for you to get your ass up there and make some friends. That guy could be the key to the coffin you locked yourself up in. He knows Naureen better than you. I'm sure he has his reasons to approach you even after she told him not to. At least let him explain. And if you still don't feel right, tell him to fuck off and I bet he'll never bother you again. Or I am breaking his hip and ribs and shoulders and neck and... you get the drill. Just go for it girl! You have to learn to grab something before it slips right before your eyes like sand... OK I am terrible with examples. Live on the edge. And just so you know, I'll be there for you no matter what. And BTW, you should know how to handle this better than me. Aren't you like a romance god or something?

What. The. Fuck. My jaw drops. Like literally.

Zee: OK that's long and... deep. I never knew you were capable of comforting people
