Hello

H-Hi

Still awake?

Yes.
Do you need anything?

Need someone to talk?

Ok. I'm all ears.

I.. don't know how to start.

It's ok. I just start asking you.
It's that ok?

Sure.
Question?

Bakit ang tahimik mo??

Easy princess *chuckle*

Can't help!
Nakakainis ka naman talaga nung una.

I'm sorry princess.
Don't know how to handle people.

Why?

Only child?

You can start your story.
I won't judge.

My mom keep reminding me that. I shouldn't kneel to someone just to talk to. They're the one should label their status to me.

That's.... sad.

W

ell, as the year passed. I adapt my mother thinking.

Paano kayo naging magkaibigan ng pinsan ko?

It's started because of Mackerel. At the age of 15 we already know each other. And then Sky came to the picture. Mac introduced Sky to me. And then we click.

Kayong tatlo lang ang magkakaibigan?

Well, for my side. Yes.

What do you mean?

Mac have many friends. Just like your cousin. And me, those two are my only friend.

I'm not included?

*chuckle* Of course princess.
You're included.

So it means.
You have four friends.

Four?

Yes. Sky, Mackerel, me and my other friend. Clover.

Clover? Oh the one who keep tagging your name?

Yes. That girl.
Ayaw mo ba magkaroon ng iba pang kaibigan?

Hmm.. I don't need many friends. I need a true friend even if it's only four. I'm ok with that.

So that's the reason why you shut your world?

Not exactly.

Oh! There's another reason?

Yes. I have many reasons. The other one is, no one bother asking me. Except for you. The other one is, they are fake. Except for Sky, Mac and you. The other one is, someone said to me that, don't let someone see your skeleton. So I shut my world. I don't need a fucked up and toxic environment.

So, why bother telling me your skeleton?

D

on't know?

It's ok if you don't know. Sometimes in our lifes. We usually don't have any reason to some actions. It's not a crime to know nothing.

Thank you.

*chuckle* I'm just here.
You can talk to me whenever you want.
I won't shut you up.

It's already 2 am.
Let's sleep princess.

Let's sleep.
Goodnight Blaire

Goodnight Princess
See you later.
