Azurethia woke up in a soft bed, not the same as her previous bedroom. She quickly stood up and looked around the large room, which opulently furnished.
Nervousness had engulfed her when she heard footsteps bounding to a room near where she was that hurriedly. She tried to hide, but it's too late because they were rushing in to enter. To her surprise, the girl and her mother walked right past her as if they hadn't noticed her.
The three of them screamed when they heard a gunshot in a distance. Her attention shifted to a little girl who scared and crying.
"Mommy, I'm scared. Who are they? Are they bad? Where's Daddy?" successive questions of the girl, but her mother remained silent.
Azure gazes at the girl who's crying. The girl who has the gentle and innocent face that you have seen that she's too innocent to know what is happening around her. Azure head ached for no reason, but she ignored it.
The mother of the child panic when they heard many footsteps. They're looking for something. When she hears footsteps approaching, her heart rate quickens.
The mother of the girl quickly hid her daughter in a large closet, but Azure's stay where she's standing because of confusion about what going to happen next.
"Baby, listen to mommy. Okay?" the girl innocent nodded to her mother with no clue on why her mother's crying.
"Whatever going to happen, Don't come out and don't make any noise because the bad guys might hear you. Do we understand each other baby girl?" her mother said and the little girl replied:
"Y-yes mommy."
"Good girl. I love you and always remember that mommy and daddy will always love you no matter what, O- okay?" the woman's voice broke, but she plastered a smile so that her daughter wouldn't cry.
Azure's breathing gradually became heavier while watching them. She couldn't name the emotion that she feels right now. She was unconscious, touched her cheek, and to her surprise, there were tears in her eyes.
––
When someone bumped to the door, a soft pat on the cheek jolted her awake, but this time, it was her true bedroom.
It surprised her best friend Shanny when she quickly gets up; she wanders her eyes in her bed; she breathed a sigh of relief when she realized it was all a dream.
"Sorry if I scared you," her best friend said calmly, but it appears she heard nothing because someone preoccupied her mind with the scene of her dream.
She dreamed of that scenario again; the face was clear and detailed in her dream, but when she woke up, it became blurb, and she doesn't remember what exactly happened in her dreams, she know that it's part of her past which strained reminds her, she tried to remember what happened, but she just ends up with nothing.
"Rhine?" her best friend taps her on the shoulder, giving her a reason to regain her sanity.
"Huh? Sorry. Would you mind repeating your question, Shan?" she stated.
"I asked if I scared you when I tried to wake you up?" her best friend inquired once more.
"Oh, no, what time it is?" she muttered.
"It's 6:20, still early; I don't want to wake you up because I know you're tired, but Zeinn said we should eat breakfast together before going to work," her pal's illumination.
"Thank you, Shan. But, go first, I'll follow you later once I'm done fixing my bed," she replied.
"Okay, we will wait for you at the dining table," her best friend smiled before she left.
She raises her head slightly and briefly nodded. The three of them live in the same house together, after. She's be bereaved, her best friends stay by her side and she's thankful for that.
Shanny, the calm one among them. Zeinn, obstreperous and happy-go-lucky. While she's just a normal girl, she's approachable, and always appreciates the small things. Every day, after waking up she feels like something–missing from her personality. But, even herself wondering why, whereas she has nothing to do with it. Thus, she takes strength from her best friend.

"Rhine, why did you take so long? We're almost done preparing our breakfast!" Zeinn yelled at me as if she were swallowing a microphone. I shook my head before responding.
"Coming!" I responded by yelling back.
I didn't get a response, so I dashed to fix my bedroom right away. I'm tired while walking. I halt when I felt my rear was etching. I was exhausted from cleaning the place where we staying alone. Shanny and Zeinn couldn't help me because our manager called us to the restaurant where we're working as servers and at the bar for serving drinks.
Our Province is remote from the City, you'll need a car to get there because it's surrounded by towering trees. However, like other provinces, we have bars, restaurants, and so on.
Her best friend caught up with her around noon, and the two of them immediately helped her. Since the death of the old woman who cared for her, her two best friends have been her constant companions. 2 years had passed, but the scenario still fresh in her mind, she clearly remember what exactly happened to the old woman, she didn't know what to do at the time because of her wrong decision, the old women she considered as a family died in front of her, it hurts so bad, but do you know what hurts the most? Saying that your so-called family dying in front of you and there is nothing you can do about it.
Only the old woman's house was left to me; I recalls I'm 15 years old that day.
It was raining. which I'm thankful for, because they didn't see how unhappy I'm feeling that day. I experiencing mixed emotions because I accidentally met my best friends who didn't leave me until now.
I sometimes relies on them, afraid that it will happen again. I shook my head when I remembered what happened in the past. I was burying it in oblivion, at the second time I shook my head and galloped to the table.
I've caught up with the two who were preparing their food, they turned their gaze to me when they feel my presence.

"Good morning," she greeted.
"Morning," Shanny greeted her back.
"Good morning, I thought you're going back to sleep," Zeinn said while arranging the plate they were going to use.
"No, sorry, I just remembered something. That's why I took so long," she replied to her.
"Come on, it's okay," her best friend reply.
She sat in an empty seat next to Shanny's chair whose silently sitting. I smiled, so Shanny smiled as well. She turned her gaze to Zeinn again as she spoke for the second time.
"You look exhausted today. Will you join us at the restaurant Azure?" her best friend approached her.
"Yeah, I have nothing to do here," she mumbled as she placed the food on her plate.
"Okay. But we don't mind if you sleep; we know you're tired of cleaning our house, right?" Zeinn makes recommendations to her.
"Yeah, but that doesn't mean I won't come," she says as she eats her food.
"But you should rest first," her best friend opined. She knows that her best friend will competitive. So she devised the best solution to ensure that her best friend did not tease her.
"Zienn, not because I'm tired. I need to rest. You're also tired. Does that mean you need to rest?" I responded.
"B-but..."
"But what?" she quips.
"Stop! Even over trivial matters, you two are at odds. My God, Azurethia, don't argue with Zeinn. And you Zeinn, let her decide for herself; she's 18 years old she knows what's wrong and what's right! Do you get what I'm saying?" Shanny yelled angrily at us, and we both looked at each other, pointing out who's wrong.
Zienn and I fight a lot, even over trivial matters. Shanny is constantly pleading with us. But that doesn't mean we're both immature; it's almost as if our hobby are arguing and fighting with each other.
"Anyway, I forgot to tell you yesterday that manager Cha gives the schedule for this week," Zeinn said, as if they hadn't been arguing for a while. She shook her head and let out a small laugh.
"All right, I'll check it later," she said before continuing to eat.
"Hurry up and eat, we'll be late," Shanny said in response to their conversation.
"Killjoy, eh," Zeinn said simply to Shanny.
"Ew, that's a dead giveaway," Shanny retaliated.
We finished our breakfast quickly. Shanny offered to wash the dishes, Zeinn and I took a bath. I told Zeinn to take a bath first because I would still prepare my clothes. After Zeinn took a shower, I followed her and quickly dressed. I went to the living room and caught up with the two of them as they were arranging what they would take to the restaurant.
