My head was bruised, bleeding and hurting at the same time. My hair, that I had always perfectly done in a ponytail, was disheveled. I sat under public shade and kept pacing and gnawing on my fingernails. I couldn't go back to hostel like that, with bleeding wound on the forehead and arms that had red marks on them; it was because my brother had held me tight then, which had basically hurt a lot. If I had gone to Alexa like that, she would pick the shit out of me asking me what happened. I also had this small scratch cuts on my left hand and right elbow, but don't know how that actually happened. Suddenly it started to rain, and I was sitting alone, the clock ticked 1 o'clock after midnight.

I suddenly hear my phone vibrate from the inside of my bag, and when I take it out I see my phone flashing Alexa's name. She knew that I used to stay up till 3 o'clock at least; who knew that I was awake, but this time wounded and under a shade on the road protecting myself from rain.
I don't pick up the call, but she didn't seem to give up. I picked up the 5th time time she called,

"Hey Clem! Are you deaf? Or is your phone silent!?"
I don't answer to that, rather I try to hide my sobs.
"Hey Clem? You there mate?"
"Yeah..."
"Oh god, how's everyone?" She smiles.
"All's good."
"What's your mom doing?"
"She's asleep...bro's in his room."
"Where are you?"
"In my room, why?"
"There's rain noise."
"Oh, I'm by the window."

I talk for a while and then cut the phone off.
