ALORA'S POV

   The music playing from my headphones drowned out every single sound including the voice of the person behind me. "Excuse me.." she said tapping my shoulder. I turned around to see it could be, I didn't know anyone on the main campus asides Kiki and Penelope, Isabella moved to another country last year.
The person in front me was short I'd give them that and I liked their style it was similar to mine only more boyish. Oh my, she's a stud.. I'd never met one in person, she's so cute. "Sorry to bother you it's just I like your shoes, you have mad sneaker game'' she continued. I didn't even realize how much I was smiling.

"Yeahhh thanks so much. What's your name?" I finally responded

"Thea but just call me Tee. Thea doesn't exactly suit me." She said back

The stubborn part of me really wanted to call her Thea but it was too early. I liked her vibe and I already made the decision to befriend her.

"Well Tee, it was really nice to meet you. I'm here to see my friend at the law college. I'm a med student so you probably don't see me a lot. I hope I see you again though." I gushed. She was so easy to talk to.

She smirked, "I know you. You're Lora, Kiki's friend. I've known you since you were at the dorm for the law students. I just never spoke to you. I hope I see you again "

I forgot I was a popular cheerful person when I was still here , now that I think about it I'd seen her around. I must have forgotten.

"Well, I hope to see you again Thea. Yes, I'm calling you Thea, I like it. Byee"

I didn't even let her respond before increasing my walking pace. I was sure I'd be seeing her again.

   I finally got to Kiki's room after walking for so long. I knocked and entered. I hadn't stepped in fully before she jumped on me. I loved when she did that, she was soft and easy to hug. After squeezing me and almost cutting off my air supply she finally let me go. "Hiiiiii" I said sheepishly.
She only took one look one look at before she started nagging, "Don't 'Hiii' me you look so Lora. Oh my Lora aren't you eating? Is that how stressed you are? Look at your eye bags, where are your glasses?? Loraaaa"

I laughed settling down on her bed, "Yes Kiki, I missed you too. I see you looking good girl ". As always I managed to make her laugh. She pulled me in for another hug but it was different this time, she held me and pat my back continuously before she finally asked, "Are you okay my love?" and I broke. That was all it took for me to start sobbing. I cried for a while before calming down,

"I'm so tired. I used to be happy, I was your ray of sunshine. I can't even stand to look at myself. There's so much pain and I don't know what to do with it, I want to evaporate from the face of the earth." I said wiping my tears.

"My love, I love you. But there's someone who loves you more than I do and that's God. He has a purpose for you and you're going to fulfill it. Earth has no sorrow Heaven can't heal. So breathe baby because you aren't going anywhere. I'm here for you even if no one else is." She comforted me. She had always been the "mom" friend, always ready to hold me when I needed to be held. "So when you go back to your dorm, whisper a tiny prayer, anything could work just pray, He'll listen" she said hugging me one more time

  Half an hour had passed and I was calmer and back to teasing her

"Oh yeah, do you know any Thea, Tee..." I asked

"Of course. Don't you remember her, she always came to visit someone in the room beside us that year. She's really chill though, we're friends now." She said giving me the answer I needed.."why do you ask though?"

I shook my head, "nothing, I'm leaving I have a presentation tomorrow and I have no idea what my topic is"

"Please hurry along, what kind of doctor are you trying to be this girl. Take care of yourself and don't skip your meals" she pushed me away from her room.

  That night back in my room, when everyone else was asleep, I whispered, "Hi, it's me. Yes, it's been a while but I need you. No one can heal me but you. Please help me...I don't know what I'm doing.. please..." I was crying again and I cried till I fell asleep. It was a start, a small one, but a start.
