The two girls had known each other for some time now, but their friendship had only blossomed recently. They had quickly bonded over their shared interests and had become nearly inseparable in a short period of time. As they faced the challenges of...
(?): You don't even know me, you don't even know my name.. why would you wanna know all that.
I mean she isn't wrong, I completely get her. Stranger who decided to help her out no where suddenly asking her so spill her entire life story. a bit strange I assume.
Valerie: True.. what is your name?
(?): Jenny, Jen for short. Valerie: Pretty name, I'm Valerie.
Jenny: Do you wanna get to know eachother more? maybe that'll help smoothing things out and one topic will open another.
Valerie: Good idea, you start.
Jenny: Uhh... What's your favorite color?
Valerie: What are we 12?
Jenny: Come on! this is basic information we could literally get married in the future who knows.
Valerie: Alright. calm down. It's red how about yours?
Jenny: I like red too oh my, but my favorite is purple!
We spoke about our favorites, books, and boring shit but she seems very nice I mean it feels like I have known her for ages rather than just a few hours.
Jenny: Late night walks ughhh my favorite!
Valerie: I hate walks.
Jenny: Come on you need the right people to actually enjoy it! Let's go on a walk right now.
Valerie: Can't we just go to my place and chill...
Jenny: Come on stop being lazy!
She got up and took my hands and dragged me out, Glad we left that café i felt like a few more minutes and that waiters was gonna blow the place up. we started walking and she isn't wrong it feels rather refreshing.

Jenny: You didn't tell me, what do you work?
Valerie: I take care of some library, nothing special.
Jenny: Oo, is that why you read a lot?
Valerie: I guess, never enjoyed it but it kills time so it is what it is
Jenny: Some books are fun, I like romance a lotttt..!
Valerie: I'll take you with me tomorrow you can sit and read some nice romance books.
Jenny: REALLY?
Valerie: mhm.
Jenny: sounds like fun!
Valerie: How about you though, you never told me what you do, you still at school?
Jenny: Yeahh, Don't attend much though and I don't have a job yet it's a bit hard right now to get a job with zero experience..
Valerie: Why don't you work at the library with me, doesn't pay too well but it's something.
Jenny: CAN I ACTUALLY?
Valerie: Yeah, I'll talk to the owner she's a nice lady
Jenny: Thank you! you're really sweet..
I smiled as we continued to walk, it was quiet for a minute until she broke the silence.
Jenny: Do you have any dreams? like things you wanna do when you're older or something you know?
Valerie: Not really, if I could I would end it right here right now but I don't know something inside me is keeping me going even though I know at the end there isn't gonna be anywhere to go and it's gonna be the same as right now but it is what it is.
Jenny: Why do you think that..? what about your family I'm sure hearing these words would hurt them..
Valerie: I don't have a family, I moved out and we don't talk anymore doesn't bother me though it's better this way.
Jenny immediately tried to apologise feeling guilty of maybe somewhat hurting Valerie by those words which she's wrong it really never bothered Valerie, but is it really not bothering her or she's just doing everything in her hands to somewhat escape reality and forget everything that happened?
Valerie: Don't apologise there's nothing to be sorry for really, like I said i don't think about it anymore.
Jenny: You can't lie about something like this, been through it too don't worry I understand the pain. you don't have to hide it from me...
This feeling, of someone finally understanding you, it's strange but nice. we gave eachother a warm smile knowing the both of us understand exactly what we were trying to hint, this awful pain. it's very heavy on your chest, being this young with no family or anyone to rely or depend on we grew up too fast to even realize that this isn't okay.
Jenny stood infront of me all of a sudden and pulled me into a hug, it felt very warm and gentle, no one will ever understand how much someone needs this every here and then. the thought of wanting someone to hug and tell me everything would be okay because this is just the beginning of life.
Jenny: You'll be okay, I know we don't know eachother well enough but I promise you I'm here for you Valerie, always.
I can already feel myself losing it, I couldn't help but completely explode to her. tears storming down my cheeks it's awful, how long has it been since I had a shoulder to cry on?
Jenny: it's okay.. I promise I'm here for you!
Went from a causal walk to us completely being a crying mess in the middle of a side road, hugging eachother. as much as there was tears it definitely wasn't sadness it was happy tears of finally having a shoulder to cry on, someone to comfort and hold you and tell you it's all going to be okay. because at the end of the day we are still kids. kids who deserves love and someone to be there for them when they need. not be abandoned and hurt all the time.
I know we just met and this is a long beginning of our journey but as long as it's you Jen, I would love it to End with Us.
