I check my watch.

3:00 AM.

It's exactly 3:00 AM, and I'm sneaking out of my apartment to go visit my best friend since grade 1.

What the actual hell am I doing with my life.

The road is desolate and foggy. I can barely see anything. God, it would've been better if it was foggy during the day.

I see a black-headed figure. Wait, is that -

"KEL!!!"

Oh, it's just Esther.

Esther hugs me tightly. I feel like my ribs are about to shatter. Why is she hugging me so tightly.

"Why are you...?" I trail off, not knowing what to say next. Why do I never know what to say.

What the actual hell am I doing with my life.

She's silent. She probably doesn't know what to say, either.

"...You wanna go to McDonald's?" She asks.

"Fuck yeah."
