"What did you think of the movie?"

Midnight glanced at Emilie who was still in watching the credits, her eyes misty from holding back tears.

It was a nice movie, if she was honest. But the plot hit too close to home. What was it with Filipino boys and leaving?

"It was..."

"Don't you dare say anything negative." Emilie accused as she saw the unsure look on Midnight's face. "It was a good movie. Don't let your problematic relationship ruin it." Emilie retorted without sensitivity.

She liked Emilie. But it was so annoying on how everyone thought her life revolved around Grey. Sure she liked him. Too much for her own good probably, but it didn't mean she was going to be bitter about everything that involved love.

Everyone assumed Midnight was this shallow girl who only had one definition of love and worked accordingly to it. It was irritating.

"Wow. Thanks Emilie, you sure are good at making people feel like shit."

Emilie glanced at Midnight her eyes still misty but now aware. She knew what she said but the word 'sorry' couldn't come out.

"The movie was nice." Midnight added when awkward silence filled the room. "I just feel like she shouldn't have had another love interest. Not every story has to end with someone."

"I liked it." Was the only retort Emilie could think of.

"That's nice."

The car was filled with awkward silence and IV of Spades playing in the background. Midnight glanced at Emilie who hummed along to the chorus. She glanced back at her phone waiting to see if there was anyone waiting for her.

No one ever seemed to be waiting.

As both girls entered their dorm Midnight didn't bother to say goodnight and wait straight to her room. She was used to being alone anyways.

"I'll never understand why I let people in." She grumbled to nothing and changed into her Pajamas.

"I mean, it's not like they care. They aren't obliged to care but do they really have to pretend I don't exist?"

"Bull."

Screaming out of fright Midnight made contact with the familiar body who despite her being hardheaded was always there for her.

"You have to stop assuming people don't care Night." Kyle stated seriously despite the small smile playing on the corner.

"Kyle, what the hell you can't scare me like that!" Midnight's anger faded into relief and somewhat joy. She missed her best friend.

"Em let me in, said you were having an off day so I decided to bring food over. " Kyle couldn't keep the small off his face as he watched her obsidian eyes twinkle. He would always been here to make her happy.

"You didn't have to you know."

"Yeah, but I wanted to."

As they settled down, IV of spades playing Midnight felt better. Sure, she did miss Grey, but it wouldn't be the end of her world. The end of their world. Whatever has he preoccupied, she hoped he could fix.

But right now she felt better.

As she and Kyle laughed, Midnight didn't see her phone dinged. It was exactly 12.

Midnight. We need to talk.

Hey guys!
  Hope you had a wonderful day. For those wondering about the song, it's IV of spades. It's a Filipino indie band that makes amazing music, they have both English and Filipino. So if you're finding the extreme 80's Filipino style I recommend this band.

  Thanks for reading, don't forget to vote, like and share.

Remember to stay POSITIVE !!
