The darkness of the room engulfed me in the warmest way I knew. The faint sound of soft snores engaged with the air, humming melodious tune to help me sleep through the night. The moonlight peeked through the transparent curtains, shying the nightmare away.
But, here I was, eye wide like a saucer.
My backbone kept whining, searching for the right position to sleep. I sighed and turned my body back to face Louise. The moonlight illuminated her face and brown eyes, as she stared at me sleepily.
"I'm sorry," I whispered softly. "You're awake because of me."
She shook her head and whispered back in response. "No, it's fine. Can't sleep?"
I nodded shyly, grabbing the blanket further to cover my face.
"I'm sorry if you find this room uncomfortable." She sighed and looked down to her twiddling hands. "But, we don't have many rooms here, so we should share."
I patted her shoulder, easing her from the negative thoughts that flew away in her mind. "No, no, Louise. I'm okay with sharing." I inhaled shakily. "It's just that... my mind's too occupied right now."
Louise smiled softly, caressing my hair in a gentle manner. "Call me Lou, please." She pleaded. "You wanna talk about it?"
"It's complicated." I sighed as my mind was racing to the past memories of my life. "My ma- boyfriend," I trailed off, "don't want to be with me because I- I-"
Tears were running down my face again before I had the chance to finish my sob story. I looked down to the thin blanket, gripping it tightly as the story of my life flashed right before my eye in seconds.
"Because you're not perfect?" She asked quietly.
I only managed to give her a nod, refusing to believe in my voice right now. My heart started clenching again as the memories of the massive black hole that sucked every happiness that I got hit me again. A small sob escaped my lips, reminding me of those times when the same sobs shook my body harshly.
A hand made its way to my right arm and patted it softly. "It's okay, Heidi. He doesn't know what he's lost." She suddenly lifted my chin up and stared directly to my eye. Her brown eyes held tears as her hand moved from my arm to brush my fused right eye softly. "Believe me, we know how it feels."
"W- what?" I said with a choked voice. I mentally cringed hearing how my voice sounded right now.
"We know how it feels to be seen as imperfect." She gave me a weak smile, and I barely realized the blue-eyed girl and the shoulder length blonde girl crawled towards us, giving me shy smiles.
I instantly got up and gave them a guilty smile.
"Oh, I'm s- sorry I w- wake you both," I apologized nervously. I really should control myself right now. They looked so sleepy.
