   It was 9:47pm. Avenir was asleep and Reese was home. I was the only one up. My room has this balcony outside, 10 feet from the ground. I always stay there, take tea or hot milk. I stay there until 2am because it's very cold. Listen to this type of music as well. I have no problem in waking up early in the morning, well, it's because I have insomnia. It keeps me awake but I make the most of it. Cold nights are what I want with my best friend, but I don't want her sacrificing her sleep for me. I don't want to lose her.

   Late night conversations are what I love. And every time my best friend asks how I am, I always rant about how much I hated life. About how people treated me like shit, told me to kill myself, told me I'm not worth anything. I'm in a co-ed school. So many things could happen there. I'm afraid of things and overlook future problems. "You should just enjoy life with me. I promise I won't leave you." Ashley says, every time I overlook problems. She's my pure source of happiness. She loves me and I love her back. She's special to me, and always will be.

   It's 3am, I finally laid in bed because it was really cold already. As I lay there, I thought of Ashley. I texted her goodnight and I sent a picture of a meme that she loved.

Laid in bed and waited for my alarm to go off.

The next day, I didn't see it coming. The only problem I wasn't able to over look. GUILTY.

Mom, where were you?
