Dia

"Feeling better now?" Jem asked.

After encountering Dia to the mall and break down in front of him, Jem decided to buy her coke float to at least ease her mind because he knows it's her favorite. It was already night and the two are now walking beside the river Dia went to earlier to go back to their respective houses with only the street lights beside the river their guide.

"Maybe? I don't know, I don't even understand myself, I don't know why I've been crying." Dia shrugged.

"You must be hiding something so heavy and since it's so heavy, you can't take it anymore that's why you cried." Jem said.

"Maybe? I don't know, like seriously I don't know."

"You're talking as if you don't know your self."

"Because I don't! Ever since I woke up that day and I felt like I was only half and my other half just disappeared into thin air."

"Then you should have tried to replaced it."

"I tried! Jem, I tried! But...I can't...I can't and I don't know why. Like hell what's the matter with me?" Dia asked. "I tried to get it all up and live in the way I know I like but there's always that something that is missing, that no matter how I try to assemble all those things but without that missing piece, it won't assembly and it will never be as long as I won't find it whatever that thing is. This is so frustrating you know? I want to be like the old me but I don't know why I can't and it's screwing up a big part of me. It makes me feel like lying to myself, big time and I hate it, really hate it."

Jem gently hold the back of her head and leaned it against his chest, Dia was surprised at first but he just let him do it. "I don't know how hard what you are going through, missing your own self, finding the other piece of yourself, but hey, you can always do the concept of reset, right?"

"Reset?" Dia asked and looked at him, Jem removed his hand in her hand and smiled at her.

"Don't tell me you forgot about that too? Oh well, I can tell you. You said that you're trying to be the old you and trying to assemble all piece you know but without that certain piece, it won't fit together, then how about reset that part? You don't have to be the old you, you don't need to force yourself to remember the old you, but you can just create a new you with the part that's left to you." Jem said and tap her head. "It's the concept of reset, if it won't work out in this way, then do reset and think about it in the other way. Don't just stick into one solution because it has no guarantee that in that solution, you'll resolve your problem and you Dia, is the one who told me about this."

"I did?" Dia asked as she pointed at herself.

Jem nodded. "Yeah, you did. I was so lost that time and I don't know what to do, but you thought me about the concept of reset, so I did using my previous experience, and here I am now, thanks to you."

"You helped me at my worst, I should do the same at yours." Dia smiled in what he said. "I'm your best friend, I'll always be here for you."

"Thank you, Jem." Dia said.

Jem smiled at her statement, "Are you hungry? I know a good place for dinner."

"But I don't have money with me." Dia said.

"Then it's on me, I'll treat you dinner."

"But you're going to treat me this coming Saturday, don't tell me I'll treat in Saturday?"
