An empty street. That's where I was standing. Looking around me I saw it was abandoned. next to me was an arcade like place. I was filled with fear I didn't know what to do. Should I enter or not? I didn't want to go trough the street, not knowing what would happen if I did. Who knows if there were creeps waiting for me to pass them. The safest place I could think of right away was the arcade like looking building with the neon signs. So I went in, I didn't hear that the door locked itself after I entered, I heard a faint knocking or ticking in the distance but before I could place it everything went black.
An empty street. That's where I was standing. Looking around me I saw it was abandoned. next to me was an arcade like place. I was filled with fear I didn't know what to do. That's what was on my mind when I woke up in fear. It was 3:33am when I looked at the alarm clock on my nightstand. I was alone tonight, Felix was in a hotel somewhere across the country for work.
I cried for a while alone in my bed. I got my phone from my nightstand. I looked at the screen of my phone, being too scared to sleep I decided to send Felix a text he could read in the morning. I saw that I had a text from an unknown number. The number was one I didn't recognize at first. I decided to open it to know who it was.
The chat I opened was nothing but a flower emoji. A tulip flower emoji. Then I remembered a small detail in my dream. On the counter of the arcade looking like building were tulips placed in a glass vase, orange and red tulips.
It hit me, the number was send from One's phone. "Hana?" I typed and send, but for some reason it couldn't send it to te other persons phone. I opened the chat with Felix, he was typing before I even said anything. Why was he still awake? "did you have a nightmare?" how did he know? well it was logical since I was online at a time like this. "Yeah" I texted back. Felix then began to describe my dream and told me he had the same dream but saw me do these things, he didn't do it himself. He got all the details right, it scared me. Felix then called me, we talked about it a bit over the phone till I was a crying mess. He sang to me and I quickly fell back to sleep.
Felix had ended the call after finishing the song. I didn't have a nightmare after calling with Felix so I woke up a bit more well rested. I didn't want to leave my bed, I felt calm now and just wanted to stay there all day. I wouldnt eat anyway.
In my room the walls are painted baby pink, the ceiling is black as well as the carpet on the floor. There was a white closet in the corner of the room, next to the window. My desk alo has a white color. The door is just as the carpet and the ceiling, black.
I looked in the big square mirror that was in front of the bed. I indeed looked well rested. My brown hair was pointing everywhere. I had natural blue eyes, which is rare for someone who is fully Japanese.
My phone screen lit up, it was a text from Simjang. "Are you free today? I want to show you this place I found the other day." I didn't really know what to reply. I would love to go with Simjang, but I wasn't sure if it would be just the two of us. We still had contact after what happened. I also had contact with Mú, but that's because she is Simjangs step-sister. I don't talk to Mú as much as I talk with Simjang. Felix often joked around that I was more in love with Simjang than with him. Usually I would just shake my head and kiss him to shut him up. Felix and I share a great bond, like those bonds you have with soulmates. Simjang has that same bond with Noah. Her best friend. I, for example, heard from Simjang that Hikari was put in a mental Hospital after having a fight with Nabi. How she got that information is still a mystery for me, since she is stubborn and just doesn't want to tell me.
I finally replied to Three. "I will go, let me get ready first, I'll text you when I go to your place." Three, that's how she stood in my contacts. It was Magazi who started the nicknames. At first it was a bit weird, later it was like none of us had a real name and using the others normal name was just weird. I got up and got dressed in a purple crop top and dark blue short, it was summer and it was really hot outside. I went to the small bathroom to wash my face, brush my teeth and put on some make up. My eyeshadow matching my outfit, like it always does.
When I wanted to go down the stairs I got really dizzy and I almost fell off the stairs. It probably was the not eating good enough, but if I wanted to stay skinny this is what I had to do. Crystal, one of my favorite teacher since high school, always complimented me about how skinny I was. When that stopped I realized how much weight I had gained, I started to starve myself so I would be skinny again. Now whenever I pass her on the street I see her looking worried. I hate myself for this but I can't help myself, Felix tried and failed too. He doesn't give up though, he never gives up.
When I finally managed to come downstairs I saw something standing on the kitchen table. It was a vase with orange and red tulips. I wanted to scream, but then I saw a little card between the flowers. it read: 'I hope you like the flowers Umi! xxx Simjang.' For some reason Simjang and I never use our nicknames toward each other, only in our contacts though.
I didn't put on my coat and put on some black flipflops. I texted Three that I was on my way before stepping outside and walking towards the gates before walking to Simjang to hang out.
