Chapter 7: Mei

Since Kiara returned from her shopping day she hasn't stopped asking questions about how the day went. "How did the day go" "You blamed yourself and Valentin" "You kissed" "You spent the day with him" I swear it gets boring when you've heard them fifty thousand times at the same time not two hours. We are in his room at this very moment, imagining my future life with his brother. I hope you never have a friend like that because when you wash it you have trouble getting rid of it. I silence her by putting on my headphones and opening my book. The first lyrics of the song Symmetry by Emily Warren:

Hear your voice in my head Saying: "Don't be afraid to tell the truth" I should have held my tongue Now I'm laying in bed All alone, and I can hardly move Thinking what I've done At the time of the chorus I start to play back: But we play games And we make shapes On different sides And we prefer All our colors Outside the linesWe fight each other like oil and water But you and me got chemistry And if we scatter, it doesn't matter 'Cause you and me got symmetry

I forget everything around me and start reading to the rhythm of the music. I even catch him crying in the song. All these words touch me. I am fragile...

I don't even notice when Valentin comes into the room and rushes towards me when he sees that I'm crying. It's only when he takes my headphones out of my ears that I realize that my face is filled with tears. I got up quickly and wiped away my tears. I gently pushed Valentin and rushed into the bathroom. Valentin runs after me and I don't even have time to close the bathroom door in front of me. He gently closed the door. So that no one could see my face, I turned towards the washer and rinsed my face with water. He stopped my gesture and lifted my chin so that I could look at him and asked me:

-Why did you cry something was wrong?

-If everything goes well I'm just sensitive to the songs and their words. I just didn't think that today it seems to be worse especially without me even noticing it.

-I couldn't imagine you listening to quite sad songs, you who are happy.

-Don't you know that they say that the happiest people are the ones who suffer the most? Listen, I assure you that I'm fine, it's just that listening to it allows me to let off steam and I'm crying because I wonder whose song this is for compared to the singers. I'm just in the singers' place.

-Okay but if you have a problem and you don't want to talk to my sister about it, I'm ok. It hurts my sister and you make me feel sorry for you being like that.

-ok I will try to remember it. Now can you let me pass
