Kristina's POW
The time is now 7:00 pm. Joanna and I are going out for a walk.

"Are you ready?", Joanna asked.

"Yeah", I answered.

"Are you nervous?", Joanna asked when she saw me bite my nails.

"A little..", I answered.

"It's okay, I'm not gonna kill you if that's what you think", she said and laughed.

We started walking, and then we tried to find a nice place to sit down for a while. We were both quiet for a few minutes, until Joanna finally broke the silence between us.

"Tell me, how are you feeling?", she asked.

"I don't know", I answered.

"I want you to know that I'm here for you, and you can talk to me whenever you need it", Joanna said.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because I know what it's like to lose your parents in young age", she answered.

"Oh..", I said.

"But now we're talking about you. Do you think you'll be happy again?" She asked.

"I don't know", I answered and I bursed into tears.

Then Joanna did the unexpected. She wiped my tears, grabbed my hand and took me to a beautiful place near the ocean where we sat down on a big rock.

"Wow, this is beautiful. I love the sunset", I said and started smiling.

"This is the place I used to go after my parents died", Joanna said.

I were just sitting there staring at the sunset and the ocean for a while.

"Are you hungry?", Joanna asked and got up from the rock.

"Yeah, I am", I answered.

"Let's go home and make supper", she said and reached out her hand for me to grab.
