I heard rumors, whispers here and there, that you were an attention seeker, pathetic and jealous.
I didn't know what it was really about but i paid no attention.
My childhood friend fell sick, i needed to take care of her.
I was on my way when you ran up to me, eyes wide, crying heavily.
You begged me to walk you home, saying you were scared, something about someone following you.
I tried to explain that i couldn't, but you kept begging, crying harder.
Then i snapped, yelled at you,saying words i wish i could take back.
you froze, staring silently as your hand slid from my arm while i walked away.

My childhood friend got better eventually.
I looked for you, but learnt that you've been absent for four days now.
no one saw or heard anything from you.
I became restless when there was still no sign of you days later.
i decided to come to your place, a little room where you stayed, i couldn't believe you survived here.
I stepped in, it was empty, i was only met with an old lady staring at me in confusion
