Drowning in the cruelty #1

During my late night walk to my apartment due to heavy rain from work, I suddenly sensed a black figure following me.

Just as I finished locking the doors... Sounds of bangs followed! While I was running towards my bedroom, I came across another black figure at the end of the hallway

"Who's there?!" I exclaimed.The silence was deafening; thunder, rain, and wind were all I could hear.

The fear was intensified by the fact that I had watched some of the most terrifying movies ever made the night before.

The next day, I arose from my couch without realizing that I had fallen asleep. I detected an aroma coming from the kitchen and shouted, 'Who's here?!', to which a similar voice responded, 'Oh? Arendele! you're awake!". It was my best friend Keima.

Me and Keima had been friends since childhood even though she sometimes bully or talk bad about others I knew she wouldn't do that to me and I trust her with everything.

Keima came up to me and sat next to me, stating that I was lying on the kitchen floor hugging my knees while falling asleep. Due to your sweaty appearance, I changed your dress into your pyjamas and carried you here. I remained silent at the moment. 'What happened?'

As she proceeded, she stared at me without any expression. "Last night, I arrived home a bit later than usual because I had the feeling that someone or something was following me, so I ran. As I got into my house, I noticed another black figure at the end of the hallway. I was so terrified that I had no idea what to do."

" You must have been tired and seeing things since you have a lot of work to do again.... I told you not to overwork yourself didn't I?", As she replied while also comforting me..

Yesterday I helped my friend with her managing works so as a thank you she asked my boss to give me a few days break and my boss surprisingly agreed but I haven't told this news to Keima yet.

I asked if it was okay for me to stay at your place for a few days, but she refused. MY mind was filled with shock because we always hang out and we both crave sleepovers. Following her denial of my request, she said, 'Go bathe and we'll have breakfast together'.I agreed and went to take a bath...

After some time, I went to the kitchen and was greeted warmly by her, telling me that she had made my favorite pancakes! and I also made your favourite tea!".I expressed my gratitude to her for the food and then proceeded to consume it.

While eating, I notice that she wasn't eating her food but instead stared at me mysteriously, I asked her " Am I really that pretty that you had to leave your food just to stare at me ?~".As she mentioned, "I'll have to leave soon because I also have work to do."

I was a bit surprised at her response..The fact that she would always compliment me back made me surprised.

After eating breakfast, she left for work and I contacted my best friend, friend whom I see as a brother, because boredom was overwhelming me!
