This world I am in is full of regrets. Full of what if's. Full of emotions one should keep.

I feel gloomy and tired as I lie awake on my bed. Tear-stained face still intact as a result of last night's event.

"Amber,it's time to go. We'll be late." Nathan said softly. He understood what position I am in now. I'm glad that he's not his bossy-self righg now.
"Yeah ok,I'll just get ready." I said gloomily.
"Ok. Just remember Am,it's not your fault. Fate did this. It's not always you who's at fault." He patted my back softly then going out of the room.
I tried to keep his words at mind,but for some unknown reason I can't.

I stripped off my clothes at once and walked into the shower trying to wash away the guilt that has covered me. Washing away the dried tears,but as I was doing this,tears are dripping down on my face. Replacing the dried once. I got tired off crying and trying to wash away the pain so I shot off the shower and dried myself with the towel. I changed into a plain black dress,that went up above my knees. And I got out off my room,no need for make-up because I know it'll wear off.

"Let's go Am." Nathan grasped my hand softly.
"Okay." I said emotionless.
--
Let me tell you the one thing I hate the most. Pity.
I hate it. I don't want people feeling that for me. It makes me look like a weak puppy or something weaker.

"Hey." A soft but masculine voice echoed through my train of thoughts,cutting my imagination. I looked at the owner of the voice- Daniel Collins.
"Hey." I answered with the exact amount of softness of his voice with a tinge of hurt hidden beneath it.
"You alright?" He asked.
"I will be if everybody gets the note of leaving me alone and never giving me pity." I retorted lowly.
"Some people just doesn't understand what kind of people we are,so bare with it Am." He answered.

We were silent for a second until I cut through it.

"This was also the emotion I was feeling when my childhood best friend left me." I said remembering the most awful past in my life.
"Childhood best friend?" He asked shocked.
"Yeah,he kind of just left me in thin air. Never said where he was going. Never said goodbye." I said sadly.
"Daniel. We've got to go,mom's waiting for us." His sister said. Cutting through our conversation.
"Well,I've got to go now Am,but remember if you need anyone. I'm just a phone call away." Daniel said.
"Okay." I answered.
--
There was something that caught my attention when I was telling Daniel about me childhood best friend. It was the emotion going through his eyes. Pain,guilt,sadness and anger. But why?
I was pulled out of my own world when Nathan pulled over our foyer. We were both silent as we got out of his car. Maybe we were dazed and confused with the things that had come through this day.

I went upstairs to change into some sweats and let my exhaustion fade me away from all that had happened today. But I can't gelp but think about me and my best friend until it got me dreaming about him.

--
"Mom,can I play outside with Danny?" My 6-year old self asked.
"Okay honey. Just be careful." Mommy agreed with a smile on her face.

I got out of our house and shouted.
"DANNY!!!!!!!!!!!"

A handsome yet cute young boy got out the house beside ours.
"AMYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!" He equaly shouted.
"Let's go play?" I asked while pinching his cheeks. What? I can't help it. They're so chuuby!!
~~~~~~~~
"Amber?" Mommy called out for me.
"Yes mommy?" I asked.
"Where are you going?" She asked with her slightly confused voice.
"I'm going to play with Danny again. Is it okay mommy?" I asked.
"But honey,Danny's gone. Did he not tell you yesterday when you both were playing?" Mommy asked.
"No mommy. But why is he gone?" I asked on the verge of tears.
"I also don't know baby,Danny's parents didn't tell us. We only woke up when their car is halfway away from our street." She said.
I was already sobbing,thinking about my only friend. My one and only friend.
"He left me mommy! Why?! Am i bad for him to leave me?" I asked still crying.
"No baby. You're not bad. You'll still see him maybe not now but soon." She cooed.
"Are you sure mommy?" I asked.
"Yes baby,you've just got to wait." She answered.
That got me to stop crying. And from that day I started to wait. But until now,I'm still waiting. Waiting for that day that my best friend will come back.
