" So what makes you go to LA?" Alyia asked.
"Um, I-um," I stammered, not knowing what to say.
"Hey you okay?" she asked.
I assumed that she sensed that there is something wrong. Tears started to form as I quickly wiped them.
"Hey hey. What's wrong?" she asked me again, hugging me this time.
"Oh my god I'm sorry. I j-just met y-you and h-here I am c-crying in front of you," you said, letting out a shaky breath.
"No no no it's okay, you can let it out if you want to," she smiled.
"I ran away...from home. I-I can't stand it anymore. My parents always fight. They don't even have time for me anymore. My sister went for an audition at The Voice. My brother disappeared himself. I will always pray and hope that everything will be back to normal, but guess what no! Everyday I got bullied. Everyday those words cut me down like knives. That's why I left. Those would be my memories but it would never affect me in the future," I cried.
Alyia looked at me with mouth opened wide. Luckily there's only few people in the train or else I'll be flushed.
"I-I'm sorry Xylia-"
"No you don't have to. I apologized for me being like this to you I mean we just met," I croaked.
"Hey it's fine," she said.
She hugged me. Oh my god. I miss hugging people. I miss the feeling of arms around me too. I smiled as we pulled away.
"Thank you Alyia."
She smiled as she rubbed my back.
We get to know each other more. Alyia just visited her grandma and now she's going back home to LA, her hometown.
"Wait Xylia...Do you have any place to stay after you alight?" Alyia asked me.
"I thought of staying a few nights in a hotel while I try to find a job and after getting enough money and I will rent a house," I shrugged.
"How about this, you live in my house. Don't need to pay for rental or find a hotel. You can be my roomate," she suggested.
"You sure?" I asked, my eyes went wide.
"Yeah I live there alone. Since I'm turning 18 this year and I'm independent already soo why not you be my roommate," she squealed.
"Oh my god! Thank you thank you thank you! I promise you once I've gotten a job I'll help you pay the bills and anything else. Oh gosh thank you so so so so so so so much Alyia," I cried.
"Haha, come here," she said opening her arms for me and I hugged her.
