My dad brought me inside that night and comforted me. "Wukong. None of these things that happened to lui'er is your fault." He spoke. I only looked away wiping my tears. Pigsy isn't very good at reassuring but he grabbed one of my monkeys, Bā yuè.

I hugged him tightly. I loved all my monkeys but, Bā yuè was quietly my favorite. He was always cuddly and loved to try to follow me to school. It was the sweetest thing. I loved him so much. He always listened when i had something to say.

I took a deep breath before wiping my tears. I started to smile looking at Bā yuè. pigsy held my shoulders. "Are you going to be alright if your left alone." He asked. I nodded and made a small laugh, hugging bā yuè. Pigsy made a small smile. "Alright, ill go make you some noodles okay?' he asked. I nodded then walked into my room where all my monkeys greeted me.

I gave them all a pat on the head before laying down. Bā yuè had already cuddled up to me right next to my neck. I pet him, the room was quiet because mk was playing a video game with tang downstairs. Before i knew it I fell asleep.

I got up early before the sun rised. About 5 in the morning, i remembered the night before and took a deep breath. There was cold noodles placed on the desk across from me and mk's bunk bed. All of the monkeys were asleep as well as mk. I sat up before picking up bā yuè gently, trying not to wake him. He ends up, waking up in my arms.

He yawned and looked at me. I set him on my desk where he then turned to me. I pulled out the note pad from the side of the he desk and began writing.

'Dear, lui'er.
  It's been years since your death I know but, I still cry everyday to the sound of your voice in my head. I want to apologize, i know this is the 100th note but im truly sorry. I should have hung out with you more. But i want to hear you tell me why. Why you did it. Why you gave your parents that letter. When you jumped on the bridge. When they never found your body in the water. I loved you and you left me behind. I still love you lui'er. More then you could imagine.'

I harshly tore out the note and folded it, getting up and walking to the door. I looked back trying to make sure mk was still sleeping on the top bunk. I opened the door then flinched as yuè (nickname for bā yuè) jumped on my back. I looked at him then picked him up, putting him down on the floor. I kneeled to the ground. "Yuè, you know pigsy wont let you outside the house!" I whispered. He only jumped on my shoulder again.

"Your lucky your my favorite." I said in a soft whisper as I patted his head gently. He seemed to enjoy it. I stood up and opened the door quietly. I made a creak and I opened it faster hoping that it wouldn't creak as much. I walked out the quietly shut it, cringing at the creaks it made. I walked down stairs, being as quiet as I could.

After walking outside, I saw the street lamps light up to empty side walk. I started to walk to a small, secluded area then nobody really knew about. I watched as it came into view. I walked to the grave that was given to lui'er by me. I had made it myself when it hadn't hurt as badly as it did when I first found out. There laid flowers, notes, and peaches all along it. I placed the note around it, and sat there for a second. I touched the stone and pressed my head to it. It was cold. I pulled away and looked at yuè. He had white fur, just like lui'ers white hair. I got up and stood there, staring at the gravestone.

"I hope to see you again lui'er. One day very soon, i hope."
