I was having the greatest sleep of my life. You know what's so good about sleep? It's peaceful. You get to set your mind to rest, whatever happened in the day, your mind is set to rest, including your body, and you forget everything even just for a little while.

My mom woke me up and I looked at my watch, it's six o'clock sharp. Come on, I'm resting my existence for a while.. I just wish I never even woke up so I won't have to remember that I'm not okay.

Mom: *waking Dad* wake up, it's six. We're just gonna eat breakfast back at the apartment and if you're still sleepy, just continue your sleep when we get there.
Dad: *wakes up*
Mom: come on.
Emily: *rises up and goes outside* hm.. It's morning, might be a good time to go to the pier.. alone. But mom and dad wouldn't allow that.

Since it's early in the morning, the breeze of the wind is really strong and chilly. I grabbed both my arms and rubbed them, I need some warmth and I'm not used at this kind of coldness at all.

Dad: Emily, are you okay?
Emily: yeah, it's just chilly and all.. my teeth are chattering from the coldness..
Dad: okay, stay there, I'm just gonna get the car keys to get the sweater inside.
Emily: *nods*

I stared at my surrounding, this place actually looks better in the morning. Back in nighttime when me and Eve are walking together, this place looked like a scary, huge, forest.

And I still remember last night. How I felt last night is still how I feel today, starting from when I woke up.

My dad opened the car and took the sweater for me. I wore the sweater and finally! No more rubbing my arms and teeth chattering. Also since yesterday night, my phone ran out of battery so.. I'm just gonna charge it back home.

Dad: *to grandma* we're going, already!
Grandma: okay! Be safe!

BACK HOME...

Mom: Emily, do you wanna eat? 'Cause if yes, I'm making breakfast already.
Emily: nah, I'm not hungry. *feels the stomachache* here it is.. *climbs upstairs to her room* *closes the door and locks it* *lays down in her bed and checks messenger to see if her friends or Chloe is online* okay, no one's online.. Jeremy blocked me.. who am I supposed to chat now? I'm lonely as hell. Oh yeah, maybe Eve needs an update.

Yesterday night, Eve told me to update her when Jeremy already unblocked me and if I get and know the reason why.
But since Jeremy still blocked me(yes, I checked again), looks like I have nothing to say for now.

I faced the ceiling and I contemplated; what if Jeremy was just toying with me this whole time or if he wasn't.. what if his parents stop him from being able to see me or communicate with me? A lot of important people left me and I don't know why..

First, a best friend moved to a different place and school.. and we barely even chat anymore because they barely have internet connection in their place.
Second, another best friend on the Internet.. I'm such a bad friend, I should've done better to make her stay.
And now.. Jeremy. Why do all the important people live? It's only trying to tell and show me that maybe trusting someone shouldn't even be a thing anymore because  everyone just leaves.

There it goes; tears started to roll on my cheek. I was whining softly, thinking about all the people I lost. Stupid existence! Was I born in this world to feel useless and to be everyone's toy?! I'm important at first, then everyone gets tired of me, replaces me, then trashes me! I'm just like an ugly porcelain doll nobody wants to have or everyone just gets tired of!
