The midnight snow

The wish

'Get out of my face Y/n... I regret having you!' 

'mom! How could you?!'

'Because I just don't care, even if u disappeared...' 

I ran. Out of the living room, the house, the street and the out of the neighborhood. All I wanted was someone to be nice to me like my best friend was, but he died 3 years ago. He was my everything. He felt like a brother to me and was always there for me when my mom threw me out of the house. We were 16 and now I'm 19. I still miss him every day since no one has been there for me since he died. 

I went to my favorite place I knew. It was a cliff with a view over the city seeing buildings and light hearing the eco's of the cars driving between the buildings and the people talking about their weekend plans or what they like about each other. But I was too high up on the cliff to hear what the people were saying or where the cars were driving too. The cliff was the only place  I could let my worries go and relax a little. 

I laid down on the grass when the clock hit midnight. I didn't know. I was looking up where the shiny stars were spotting the dark blue night sky. A sight that I would call to be my favorite when one of those shiny stars fell before my eyes. I could make a wish now. Maybe that's all I needed. The only thing I could think about is one specific wish. The wish that I could disappear from my mother and the memories and the traumas that kept lingering in my brain. I had nothing to lose anymore...

I stood up with my eyes closed balancing on my feet. I looked up, eyes still closed when a snowflake fell on my nose. It felt cold and a little tingly. I couldn't believe it. Yes, it was January but It rarely snows here. When I opened my eyes and looked down I saw a city I never had seen before. I think my wish worked. I was in a place nobody knew me and without my mother. 

I walked down the cliff hoping my wish actually came true and I really was in a different place where I can maybe start over. The snowflakes becoming bigger and layering on top of my hair sending a shiver down my spine because I wasn't really dressed for this weather. Only a simple jacket protecting me from the cold. 

When I made it down I saw people walking, smiling and laughing walking around and some drunk people trying to walk while being supported by friends or walking alone almost not to be noticed in the crowd. It was late but it felt so alive and vivid. One of the first things I saw was the neon Korean letters lighting the street up signing the different restaurants and bars. The fact that the signs were in Korean told me that my wish did work and I really was in a different place where no one knew me. 

Someone bumped into me when I was standing still marveling at the signs and my wish. 'careful lady!' I heard a man say in Korean. I apologized quickly with a small bow and saw his face in bad lighting. His white bangs fell on his pale skin above his brown eyes. It made my mind blank for a second and I came back to reality when he vanished again. 

I looked down and what I saw lying on the floor made me wonder what this journey would have in store for me. I picked it up. It was his wallet...
