If we're going to look back on our past life, I will definitely choose a different life. I don't want to go back to the past where we experience so much pain.

If we could just forget our past, that's what I'll gonna do for sure. But no, we can't just erase and forget the past as what we please.

But even though we experience those, it still have a lesson for us right? Those traumatic and painful past gives us courage to continue our life... to continue living.

All you have to do is to accept and move-on. You will just realize that it will makes you stronger as you face trials in life in the future.

"So, you're just here." I turned to her and smiled a little.

It's been a month of our friendship and I can say that I didn't regret of being her friend.

For the mean time, we're here in the rooftop of the school to freshen up my mind. This is what I always do when I feel like there's something bothering me.

"Hmm, yeah." I nodded and close my eyes. I just feel the breeze of the air as I recall my past.

It's still fresh in my mind on how my parents died... It's still feels like yesterday to me. Up until now, I can't still accept that at a young age I'll gonna face the world alone, with my self.

When they died, I feel like I'm the only one person on earth. I feel like I want to give up and just end my life too. I was empty and lost, and didn't know if I can still move forward.
It's not easy for me, I used to comfort myself... to motivate myself even if it's very hard.

There's no such thing on earth is easy to cope right?

But how? How they can just easily say that we should move on from our past? It's just easy for them because they didn't put thier shoes on mine.

"Hey, you okay?" I just realized that I'm already crying. I hurriedly wiped my tears and manage to smile.

"Carl-"

"I'm fine, Ash. It's just nothing." Then, I put my headphones in my bag and slung my bag in my shoulder. We headed back to our classroom because the class is about to start.

After our last period, I headed to my work like usual. But, when I was just a meters away I saw those three bullies. Greyson, Drew and Mark.

Shit.

"Hello there!" Said by Drew while playing his baseball bat.
