"I swear to God De Juan-- if you didn't show yourself in 5 minutes?! I will donate all your cake to charity!" the girl said in frustration before hanging up the call. I was hiding under the blanket and don't have any strength to face her. First, last night was the first time I saw her. Second, I woke up and she was the first one I saw. Third, the introverted self of mine is on mode and lastly, she was the one who hit me on the back of my head!

"Oy, the food is almost cold. You need to eat now before SHE killed me" she said while trying to pull the blanket OFF of me for the fifth time already. "Tsk. I hate introverts" I heard something but I'm not quite sure what.

DINGDONG

"Finally!" she let out a sighed then I heard the door click, followed by footsteps. "ROSA!" My best friend said while hugging my covered figure. "Let's eat!" she energetically said while pulling the blanket off of me. Once it’s already half way. "She's in the living room" Coral reassure me and guided me to lean on the bed frame. "I still hate you" I roll my eyes but pull her for a hug at the same time. "Oh come on~ That was the only way I thought of how we'll meet again but in a thrilling way" Coralita baby talk which I grimace in return. "One word. Williams" I roll my eyes again as I broke the hug. "Aw~ you hate us that much, huh?" she pouted her lips then Sakura girl lean her shoulder on the doorway while staring at me, blankly. "We're on the same boat, girl" she said in monotone before leaving us.

"I really hate her, you know? I want to go home now!" I cross my arms and look at Coralita dead in the eye. "No. You’re going to stay with me from now on, clear?" she SERIOUSLY said then we heard familiar footsteps. "Hey yow Coralita-- you're not the only one living here so stop deciding on your own. We both shared this apartment, dude" Sakura said in a serious manner while gesturing my best friend to follow her. "I want to go home now" I repeated, knowing the fact they shared everything in here. I still have some kindness in my heart and I don't want them to bicker about that. "No. You heard me right? You'll stay here. Let me settled this for a while" she said and were about to get off the bed. "I won't stay here Coralita. You and your friend almost killed me LAST NIGHT!" I almost raised my voice in annoyance.

"You won't go home till you listen to US first, why we did that" Sakura showed up again and look at me dead in the eye.

FLASHBACK

"Let's just hope she won't experience amnesia" I heard a not so familiar voice few inches away from me. I slowly opened my eyes and my vision was blurry for a moment. "Moment of truth dude" A very familiar voice said. "C-Coralita?" I call her name not really sure if this was a dream or a freaking reality. Fuck this temporary blurriness. "Shh—it’s me Rosa. For now sleep okay? We're already near my apartment. I'll wake you up once we arrive" she calmly said while stroking my hair gently. "Looks like she still remembers you" last words I hear before I fell asleep again.

Few hours later ...

I jolted up from my sleep and felt a hand, holding onto mine, securely. "I-It wasn't a dream" I surprisingly said but in a shush tone while staring at the sleeping figure beside me in disbelief. "Aw" I winced in pain when I accidentally lean my head onto the headboard. "Yah, you okay? Coralita's worried and sleepy state sat up in front of me. "I-I hit my head" I said as caresses my head, gently. "Tsk. I'm going to kill that Williams for hitting you hard" I heard Coralita mumbling, but the words I only understand was the last five words and she was unaware I heard that. She was busy checking my scalp.

"Who's Williams? I suddenly asked which made her tensed up. "W-why?" She stuttered and tried to ignore the question but I already pulled her beside me and face her on my direction. "Why did she hit me?" I asked again while looking straight into her eyes. "Okay. Fine" She let out a sighed and texted someone. "I told her to do it but I didn't expect she over did it!" Coralita tried to explain but a pillow was sent flying towards our direction. "Stop blaming me Coralita! I already told you that I was startled!" A unfamiliar girl stood in the doorway while glaring at Coralita while her arms crossed over her chest. "Goddamit Sakura! You've been saying that for couple of times now!" My best friend said in frustration. "Then stop blaming me over and over again!" Sakura girl countered and I was like;

"What the hell? Why are they bickering in front of me? I'm just asking. Ya'know?"

"Then apologize for hitting her!" Coralita stated while pointing her index finger towards my direction but Sakura girl chuckled sarcastically. "I'm sorry-- but not sorry" She said while smirking then Coralita got off the bed and gripped her on the collar. "Sorry not sorry" Sakura repeated and easily push off Coralita's grip off of her.

END OF FLASHBACK

"Will you let me explain for a minute? You're spacing out BTW" Coralita's voice ring in my ear as she looks at me worriedly. "1 hour of explaining is already enough right?" I said in sarcasm which my best friend shows me a thumb's up. "Aren't you going to asks me first how did I find you?" Coralita asks me and I just show her a blank expression-- but that's a good question though.

"Fine. For sure you know Jackal Harrison, right?" Sakura butt into the conversation, still leaning on the doorframe. "Third floor neighbor" I said but didn't look at her. "Aren't you going to asks how'd we know that dude?" Sakura asks me again but I didn't look at her yet. "Coralita" I said her name in a serious tone. "Okay, okay. Don't interrupt me" Coralita sternly said, glaring at Sakura at the same time. "You suddenly left me without any farewells, right? I was broke that time and kept on questioning myself why did you do that? I thought we are best friends? I was mad at you that time, yes-- but then few weeks later, I bumped into Wendy. She told me that you went back to Sydney in hopes of starting a new life without Alicia. Then reality hits me, you're in pain more than me and as your best friend, I should be the FIRST person to understand you, right?" Coralita pauses on her sentence and wipe my tears gently. I indeed left her. "I missed you every single day-- But luckily, I learnt to adjust. I set aside the things we used to do together and cherish those moments when I'm alone. There was no night that I didn't cry. Gosh, my mom almost thought that I'm freaking in love with my BEST FRIEND, cuz my actions seems like a broken hearted teenager who got dumped by her first love. Yeah, I was broken hearted because you're the only one I got beside from my parents. When you left? You also brought the half of me with you. I can't get you off my mind because I was damn worried if you already commit suicide or what? I don't have any connections with you and I felt useless" This time her voice cracked but she's still smiling at me while wiping my tears. "I felt useless because I can't comfort you anymore. I can't listen to your pain anymore-- I can't be there for you anymore. I want to follow you there but dad told me not to because he thought, you need some space and I somehow considered his words. But hey? I'm Coralita. I maybe not there to comfort you personally BUT I have my own ways to make sure you're safe-- still remember when you scolded me for spending my money lavishly?" she asks and I nodded my head. This time Sakura left the room and close the door, gently.

"I used all of the money my parents gave me to build my own company of GAMERS-- but not just a gamer Agency. There is more behind that dude. Did I mention that I look like an EMO for almost 6 months because I can't locate where you at? Psh. I was desperate to find you so I used our distance as an inspiration to make a AGENTS Department in my own building and that department were only made just FOR YOU-- everything in there is ALL about you. Sounds creepy, right?" Coralita chuckle and poke my cheek, once. "Nah-ah, I'm not yet done sweety" she said and shushed me off by placing her index finger on my lips. "That department is called: Wilf Flower. I came up with that name because of how I felt. Wild, because you're out there and no one knows when are you going to show up again. Flower, because you still bloom even winter already had begun, so dramatic right, But for me? That only means, there's a bunch of beautiful flowers out there yet there's a wild flower that blooms beautifully among the rest-- and that is you, my best friend. For couple of months, few friends stayed beside me and comforts me but the feeling of you being here with me feels very different and that was the main goal of that department: To find you" Coralita smiled brightly and pull me for another hug which I instantly returned and make it even tighter. "I'm sorry for leaving you" I apologize and was about to cry again when the door swung open.

"Ey Lovebirds, we have some tiny problem out there" Sakura said in apologetic expression while pointing the living room. I quickly covered myself with blanket again then my heart start raising. I didn't know I still have panic attacks, damn it. "Stay with her for a minute. She's having a panic attack and I'll go get her meds" Coralita said in a calm way but her footstep tells the opposite. I'm only experiencing this when I felt harmed by someone. "Hey, hey calm down" I heard Sakura say in a low tone. I felt another weight on the bed and it's lighter than Coralita's. "I won't hurt you again, I promise" she said and nervously caresses my back. It's not helping me! It only made my heart beats abnormally! I felt threatened and this is not good for me. My throat were almost dry, I can't speak.

THUD

I heard the sound of Sakura's fall and her whining. "Don't touch her Sakura! You're just making it worst!" Coralita said in a calm way but I know deep down inside her she's in panic. "I'm just trying to help dude! No need to grab me of off the bed!" Sakura countered but then the blanket was already pulled off from me. "Follow my breathing, Rosa. You'll be fine. I'm here, okay?" Coralita said while hugging me and then I finally feel her calm breathing. Like we always do, I follow the tempo of her breathing as I lean my head on her shoulder at the same time.

It's Coralita's way of calming me when I got threatened. She learnt that way from my sister when we're still little.

"I-I'm s-scared" there. I finally said the words I've been keeping since this morning. I'm scared of Sakura not because she hit me but because she reminds me of SOMETHING dark in my childhood days and that certain MEMORY still haunt me up to this days, especially now that my sister isn't here anymore to help me cope up with that ALL OVER AGAIN.
