“Zoe!” I heard someones voice calling me out. I swear I have heard this voice somewhere, but my mind is blank. My hands tighten around my mouth as I try to control my breathing. I look out through the small opening in front of me just to see another eye staring right back at me. “I found you.”
It was the last thing I had heard and the only piece of memory floating in my head. I woke up to the sound of a beautiful melody which somehow managed to irritate me because it ruined my sleep. I look at my phone showing the time 5:14. I get my lazy ass out of the bed just to hear someone screaming. I jump out of fear. I swear it was from downstairs. But only my mom is downstairs . MOM! I sprint through the stairs just to see my mom hugging some man I don’t recognize . What’s is going on here? “Mom! What’s going on here? Why did you scream like someone is holding a knife to your neck and now hugging some random weirdo. Care to explain?” I questioned my mom while glaring the man. “Darling!” my mom exclaimed while letting go of the man and facing me. “I don’t know if you are ready to hear this, but I think I should tell you about this. It’s now or never.” Suddenly she took the mans arm in her holding it in the air. “I’m dating this man. Robert Willcom.Yes, I know it’s been hard for both of us to move on ever since that incident took place, but Robert is the one who taught me to move on. To feel happy and content with what you have. To learn to love the ones around you. This might sound absurd, but he is the one I want to spend my time till I’ll be put in the coffin. Please accept him. For me.”

"Wow that was absurd. She could've just said 'Darling I found a new guy to satisfy my needs and kinda like him. So you better accept him otherwise I will slice my neck into two.' That would've been so much easier to say" my friend or I could say a crackhead that no one wants to befriend and everyone pushed her to me because she was lonely as fuck a. k. a. one and only Julia. Ya the name is too classy for a girl like her. We' re really close and I share literally everything with her and maybe have kissed once or twice. Oops! Did I just spill the tea? Anyways. On to the story author the readers are getting bored. "She just loves him and thought I've not moved on. She considered my feelings and doesn't want to hurt me. Stop with the nonsense already." I said making sure to give her a 'don' t you dare say anything' glare. So, I guess you guys already have a clue of what's going on, but let me introduce myself formally. My name is Zoe. Zoe Thompson. Well I could technically say I'm Zoe Willows since my mom divorced my dad. And the reason to why they divorced? My dad was having an affair with MY FUCKING FRIEND'S MOM. Yeah it was not the hot sexy neighbor nor the cute colleague. It was one of my friend's mom, but I thank to god we weren't that close otherwise I would have sliced her neck off. Of course, me and mom were heartbroken so you know what happened after that. Since, I am done with the introduction, let's move on to the story. "Stop those absurd things already. What are you going to do during the semester break? I was thinking maybe we could hang out? Are you free or not?" I said keeping my eyes on the road. I totally don't want to die with her. Even if I were to kill her, I wouldn't kill myself.
" Yeah...... About that actually I am going to visit my family this time and also have got some unfinished work there. I'm afraid you will need to find someone else to hook u- I meant hang out with" Julia said correcting herself as I glared at her. I was used to her being a straightforward unfiltered talking machine that does literally nothing else. We soon arrived at the university's parking lit and separated from there to go to our own faculties.
