This was hands down the worst day of your life.
You've been awake the whole night taking care of Cherry, your sick cat, and running around from vet to vet, in hope of finding a different opinion on how to further proceed with her.
Cherry was an older cat you convinced your parents to adopt almost 10 years ago. She was already pretty old when you got her, the vets could only tell you that she was a "senior" but gave you no estimate age.
Ever since you adopted Cherry, she's been your ride or die in everything. She consoled you in junior high when your first crush rejected you, she stood by your side when you were cramming up as much info as possible for your college entrance exams, and she's seen the fall-out you had with your parents when you ultimately failed to get into medical school and informed them that you want to follow a different path.
When they kicked you out, Cherry was the only friend you had that supported and loved you unconditionally, so no, for you, she wasn't "just a cat".
Therefore, you just couldn't accept the horrible news that every veterinary gave you; that's why you forced yourself to stay out all night and spent so much money you didn't have on consultations at 6 different clinics. So, when you finally held your cat for the last time at 6 AM this morning and said your last goodbyes, it felt like the whole world crumbled beneath your feet. The emptiness you were faced with was something you've never encountered before and coming home with an empty carrier was easily the most heartbreaking thing you've ever had to do.
But the bad day was just beginning, and as they say, worst come to worst. You went to college and took a very important exam that you couldn't focus on at all, the last exam from this semester, where you were supposed to do your best and get a high grade to ensure you won't have to pay even more money to attend classes next year, which would probably mean getting a second job.
Task failed successfully.
After your shitty exam, you went back home and just laid in bed, numb.
You awoke suddenly by your phone's ringing.
When did I fall asleep? You asked yourself confused, and concluded that you must've passed out from the weight of last night's events.
It was your friend, Eva. She was one of the only people that came to talk to you the first day at college, and she was a social butterfly, which, to be frank, didn't go too well with the introvert inside of you.
"Hello baby! What's up! Ready to party?" she asked giggling.
Oh yea, the party. You completely forgot. And it was somehow already 9 PM. How did so much time pass?
"What's up? Cherry's got your tongue?" she laughed.
Cherry... you thought, and felt tears forming in the corners of your eyes again. You don't know how much you already cried, it was like your mind blocked out the last couple of hours. What a bad habit you had, not telling anyone about what's going on in your life and about how hurt you are.
