Another note.

Another note hit on my window saying that I need to hurry up. Reminding me that I don't need to get attached to people. I knew what I was in for the day I first started all of this.

I don't know where it is.

I don't know where it is and it is killing me. I am unable to find something that is supposed to be so close to my heart but I don't know where it is kept.

It's hiding somewhere, I need to know where. Throwing my head back to the wall I groan.

How much more pain do I need to go through? How long does this storm last before I finally get a rainbow in my life. How long?

I stare at the ceiling. I hear my heart shatter into million pieces with every breath I take. I am alive. I don't know how, but I am and there is a chance that I might not be tomorrow.

I might die. Don't get me wrong, I am not afraid of death. In fact, I am perfectly fine with it only because it is such that all of us get.

In the end we all have to die. Some get love, some don't. Some get wealth again some don't. But death is something that we all get, fair and square. The one that goes through might not get it the same as others but the ones who mourn for the dead do.

It cause the same amount of pain for everybody. I didn't know this. It's funny how much a death changes you. How it wrecks your life. It comes and destroys every single thing that you made and leaves you to start from scratch.

Every hurdle you went over, is of no use. Every mountain you climbed. Every little effort you made, goes down the drain.

You fall into a hole. A hole that you can never come out of. And I have successfully reached the depths of this whole. I know every nook and corner of this whole.

I sighed a whole so deep for my old self that I, only, fell in it.

Iconic, right?

Our world is slowly dying from its core and I believe that I am the one who need to save it. Because I have something the others don't.

What once was my weakness now is my strength.

Hey, Katrina," Xavier exclaims as soon as he sees me.

"Hay is for horses," I say smirking at my smartass reply. I am a freaking genius, bruh!

He just looks at me like something is funny.

I shut the door of my car and begin walking towards the entrance not waiting for Xavier.

Since he is taller to me he catches upto me very quickly and in no time is walking beside me.

"So how did you sleep, love?" he asks me.

"Meh!" I reply truthfully.

I mean I was freaking out earlier because of what happened. He doesn't seem to bring up the conversation of the video and phone. Then why should I?

"Why are you so glum today, love?"

"Why do you call me 'love'?" I ask trying to change the topic.

"One day, love, one day," he says.

His words they're so cryptic. His words mirror his personality. Deep. Broken. I am trying to fix him price by piece but I am afraid that I will cut myself from the shattered pieces that have fallen down.

We don't speak. A comfortable silence surrounds us. We seem like polar opposite people but only I will ever know of how similar we are.

We both are fighting battles without telling. He and his demons and I have mine. He is courageous to show them. He builds walls around himself so no one can ever know who he is.

And the only reason as of why I know this is : Experience.
