Alone, that's what we are in this messed up world. Don't lie to yourself about having friends. They won't be with you till the end of the road. No, at some point, they'd have to leave you...

 Alone, that's what we'll always be. It's a fact everyone subconsciously run away from, because they don't bear the truth. The truth that's caged in like a wild animal. But what they forget to remember  is that wild animals don't like to be caged, and someday they'll break free and take you down with them.

Everytime when I'm alone I start thinking this way, because it's the ugly truth that we don't have the courage to confess it, even to ourselves.

Eventually, everyone will leave you. That's the point behind this life, you always say that everything will last forever, but the truth is you are always on your own even when there are plenty of friends out there for you. You should depend on yourself 'cause someday you'll realise that you'll always be Alone.

Here I am sitting beside the lake. It is so clear that I can see myself through it. This always make the process of confession easier, so that I look in my own eyes and say the words.

Bad and good memories start playing like a scenario in my mind. Then, I remember the reason why I came here.

I search in the water but there is nothing. Huh, weird.

Few minutes later, something hit my head. "Ouch." I groan.

"Who are you and why are you hiding!" I start shouting.

No one answers. Shit this is going to be a long day.

I look at the ground and I realize there is something. It is an old mermaid doll. Pink, glittering tale and her hands are missing. Her hair is so messed up. It looks like it was in a war or something. Where is this from and who hit me with it?

"Whoever you are, why are you hiding from me? Show up." I start yelling. I am really curious to know who was that.

The uncomfortable silence was getting on my nerves. I always come here to relax and let go of my problems, but these few days I feel like this lake was no longer my safe place. It is no longer a secret place.

My phone gets me back to reality when it vibrates in my pocket. It is Sam.

"Hello babe." He says, almost whispering.

"Hello." I reply, smiling like an idiot.

"Just wanted to make sure that you're okay. How are you feeling?" He asks me, worry clear in his voice.

"I'm fine baby, I miss you." I tell him. He loves when I say "Baby".

"Baby huh? I miss you too lollipop." He teases and I laugh.

"Where are you now? Can I come over?" He asks.

"Um.. I can't now, I want to take a shower and have some sleep."

"Okay, see you tomorrow." He says and hangs up.

I don't like to hide things from Sam but I have to. Yeah I trust him and I know maybe, just maybe that he won't tell anyone about this place. I can't even trust myslef when I'm here.. No, I'm not exaggerating, this place is Heaven on earth and people are really stupid that they haven't found about it yet.

I remember when I first found the lake. I was really angry because of my father, he came back from his work, drunk. I was mad at him and when I found out that he didn't care, I ran.
