In the morning, I woke up on the floor as I hoisted myself up. Today was a new day, well, so was yesterday, and the day before. Today, I woke up to a note under my door, obviously confused, I opened it up to see who it was from.

Huh?
What.
Is this some kind of sick joke?
...
I guess not.
Later that day, I decided to take a walk to clear my head, when I bumped into Rika again. "Hey, drunk guy! How're you doing today?" I coldly looked at her, I was not in the mood for this. "Is everything OK?" "Yeah." "Are you sure? You look completely different from the last time I saw you." "It's nothing." "If you say so, I'm sorry for trying to pry."
We both continued walking in opposite directions.
I'm fucked. My family doesn't talk to me anymore, I've never really had many friends, besides my friend Ethan from middle school, but he returned back to the UK where he was born a long time ago. But I have no way of contacting any of them right now. The only person that comes to mind is Rika, but we hardly know each other, we've spoke on two occasions, and one of them I was drunk.
I took a seat on a nearby bench and put my head in my hands. I can't cry now, I'm not weak. I'm not pathetic, right? I wouldn't be crying over this. I'll just leave without issue and find somewhere on the streets, that's fine, right? I shouldn't be crying. This world is just that cruel, after all. What am I even saying? My life is completely ruined.
"Are you sure nothings wrong?" I looked up to see Rika standing in front of me, she was wearing a transparent crop top, I could see her multicoloured bra underneath, along with fishnets and tight shorts with a small wooly coat around her top half, her hair was in pigtails and she was wearing a hat. She looked really good.

"Hey, did you hear me?" "Huh? What did you say?" She sat down next to me on the bench and looked at me. "I know I've only seen you a few times, but you look down about something, and I want to help, what's up?" Well, I have nothing to lose. I explained the whole story to her about how I was going to be homeless, I grabbed her coat and cried into her chest. Why? Why was I acting like this infront someone I basically don't know? Does she think I'm weak? That I'm pathetic?
"I'm sorry, I just sound pathetic right now, don't I?" "Not at all, I'm glad you told me, because now I can try help you." Help... Me? She barely knows me, why would she go out of her way to make things better for me? "Don't be so stupid, you have other things to do, no need to use your precious time on me, I can live with it." She patted my head, that was still resting on her chest, thought for a moment and said "You can stay at my place for a bit if you wanted. I know it isn't much but it's all I can do for now." I pulled away from her and pushed away the tears from my eyes. "Really? You'd do that for me?" "Yes, where else would you live?" "B-but, you barely know me." "So? I can still help you right?" There was no point arguing further so I decided to accept her offer. "Okay, I'll give you my contact details then, message me if you need anything ok?" She wrote something down on a piece of paper and held it out to me. "Oh, I... don't own a phone, I'm sorry." "Then I'll just go over to your place when it's time, actually, can I come over now? Can I?" I sighed, what's the worst that could happen? "Fine. I'll take you there, just follow me." We walked back the way I came until we stopped at the apartment complex I was staying in. "Not too much further from here." We went into the elevator and eventually got to my room.
"It's not much, but I live with it." "(Y/N), where is all your furniture?" "Sold it. Couldn't afford rent one month, so I had to. Also please don't call me that just yet." "Hmmm. Wanna go grab something to eat?" Almost laughing, I turned to face her. "Huh?" "I'm hungry, and you probably are too, let's grab something to eat, I'll pay!" I smiled at her, not a genuine one, as she was probably only doing this because she felt bad, which isn't a bad thing. "Sure, I'll go." "Yay!"
