Sunday ; 7 o' clock pm

And that is how i ended up here alongside of the streets. Ugh. I stood up and strolled at the middle of the night hoping that there is someone who could tell why is this happening to me. Unfortunately, i couldn't find anybody who would tell me instead, I continued roaming around and saw a shed of light from the sky above. The light comes closer and closer to me but suddenly, a piece of paper fell and before i knew it, the light faded away.

Nonetheless, i picked it up and read. It says that ;

mysteries will be unfolded
secrets will be unlocked

trust me, in the right time you'll find
because you're one of the kind

a little more time is all what i need
so just follow my lead 

- LM

LM? What? Wait, the name sounds familiar to me. It-it's on the tip of my tongue, ugh. But still, i couldn't remember it. What does it even mean? Maybe he/she will help me? I'm so confused.

I continued strolling then suddenly, I saw a familiar figure standing in front of a mini convenient store. Looks like it's Autumn! Omygosh. I was running fast towards her like flash almost being tripped, excited to hug here so damn tight.

" AUTUUMMMMNNNN OMAYGOOODDD. I'M GLAD YOU'RE HERE. SHOCKS. AUTUMN, I MISS YOU " As soon as I got in front of her, i hugged her so tight and started whining like a baby. I miss her so much and i don't know what to do. I need her. 

" CASS?! OMAYGOD. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! I'M LOOKING ALL OVER FOR YOU. YOU LITTLE BITCH. GOSH, I MISS YOU SO DAMN MUCH. " She hugged me back even more tighter.

" Okay, let's stop the sweetness. Ahahahaha. " We released from the hugs and started strolling again, not knowing where to go.

" What happened to you, Cass? What's with the clothes? " Omygosh. I almost forgot! I was still wearing some sort of beggar-like clothes. Omg.

" Uhm. Just a costume for uhm the. party! yes, the party! hehe. " Oh come on. Please believe me Autumn. Omg.

" Ohhh. Nice one. But why did you chose that kind of costume? "

" It's the theme, maybe? hehe. " Woo. Well, looks like she was already convinced now. I wanted to hold her in my arms for a long time but i still need to do some necessary things. How am i supposed to start again? Hm, i should go back home and ask dad.

--

" Hey dad. " I murmured as I opened the main door and eventually saw dad sitting at the couch. With his newspapers all piled up beside him and reading it one by one.

" Hey sweetie. Wait, what happened to your clothes? "

" I don't know too dad. I'm gonna go upstairs and change clothes okay? I'm also gonna ask some questions. Wait for me here. "

" Sure princess. "

I headed into my bedroom and took a quick bath; changed into my night clothes and stay there for a little while. Hm, i really can't process what's going on right now. I don't know if the wish worked or it was just an imagination. But the thing is, why did I woke up in the streets wearing some dirty-looking clothes? Ugh, my head is aching because of this. Oh come on. 

Instead, i went downstairs and got some chocolate drink with a straw on it. Yay. So, i sat down in the couch and asked dad a few questions.

" Dad, do you know why I ended up in the streets and wore muddy clothes? what happened? "

" I'm sorry sweetie but i really don't know what, why and how it happened. I was really shocked that you got home wearing those clothes instead of the shiny and glimmering clothes i bought for you. "

" What? Ugh. Okay dad thanks. I'm going back upstairs okay? I'm gonna sleep. Bye. Don't stay up all night. "

So, I went back to my bedroom and think, think, think. Ugh. This doesn't make any sense at all. Wtf. I can't think straight, questions are adding up and i need answers right now. I opened my laptop and tried to search again for the names. Omaygosh. THIS IS SO NOT HAPPENING. IT SAYS HERE THAT LM AND CM HAS A CHILD. WOAH. MINDBLOWN. 

Nonetheless, i continued on browsing informations but still i couldn't shake off that LM and CM has a child. He or she? Alive or Dead? Mygosh. Now, this makes my headache worsen. gosh. I have to find out the child they have. Ughhhh.

I give up. I slumped myself to bed and a sudden idea popped into my head. What if I was the one? What if I was the child? Wtf. Am i getting my head so crazy? I am definitely ridiculous. gosh. Beat it, Cassidy. I am emotionally confused right now. my my my. this is already getting out of hand.

What exactly happened to me? I can't believe this. 

I got up and entered the balcony once again. Woah, it feels so refreshing. The wind swiftly touches my skin, the stars shine so bright in the middle of the night. Ugh. I'm so tired. 

I don't know what do anymore. Should I go to school tomorrow morning? Well well. I was about to go back to my room when suddenly, my phone rang. It was Autumn.

" Hey Cass, i called to check you out. Are you okay? Is something bothering you? " Aish, this girl. She really knows when I have a problem. I'm so glad I have her.

" Nothing Autumn. Just tired. how about you? "

" Well, my boyfriend just broke up with me. Isn't that fantastic? " Oh goodness. What the.

" WHAT?! ARE YOU FCKING SERIOUS?! I'M GONNA BEAT HIM TO DEATH. UGH "

" Y-yes. He said that i w-was not meant f-for him. " Then she started to sob and cried her heart out. Ugh. I'll definitely beat her bf's ass.

" Wth autumn. Don't cry. He's just a boy. He's not worthy of your tears and he's definitely not worth your time. So chin up, and smile like nothing ever happened. Autumn? " Well, i think she fell asleep.

" Good Night Autumn. "

Did my wish came true? Or was it all just a petty dream?
