Wake up, someone's in my house.

Nadia: I'm going to meet some friends, are you coming?

Erica: I don't have any money with me.

Nadia: You won't have to. Come on, we're going to have a good time.

Erica: All right then!

I got up, I tossed, I laid my clothes on and I followed Nadia wherever she went.

Nadia: My grandmother wasn't in the mood for a walk, so I thought I'd go out on my own and I met you.

She smiled at me, grabbed me by the hand cheerfully, made a turn around herself and laughed.

Nadia: I'm so glad I won't be alone. I'll introduce you to my other friends.

I couldn't help but share her joy with that smile that formed on her face. It was dark, fortunately this time I wasn't alone because otherwise I would have been terrified.I recognized the road, Nadia was driving me to a park nearby.

The white light of the lamps flowed and made the streets we were passing sparkle. Water was splashed across their surface, voices and loud laughter began to be heard from the side of the road.

Nadia: This must be my company.

She gently pulled my hand and started to drive me quickly deeper into the streets. We were following these voices, they brought us to the park.

Rena: You're finally here! Who's that with you?

We approached the girl, she was sitting with three boys and another girl on the benches here and there. I'm putting my hand towards her.

Erica: My name is Erica, it's nice to meet you.

She grabbed and squeezed it hard.

Rena: Rena, she's your friend.

She's nodded to Nadia.

Nadia: Yes.

We went and sat on one of the park benches. We talked for hours, laughed and I finally felt like I was part of a whole, like I was with the family I never had.We had gone out for a nice walk and ended up in the park to tell our news, our concerns and any problems that had arisen during the day so that we could solve them and be happy together, united.

I wasn't surprised that Nadia's company was expressing the same ideals as her family. She took out her phone, turned it on, looked at its screen and put it back in her pocket.

Nadia: Erica, we have to go.

Rena: Will you leave together?

Nadia: We live in the same building.

Rena: Perfect, and what I wouldn't give to stay so close with my friends.

We said goodbye to them and took the road back, happy and peaceful, having been relieved of what was bothering us. We shared our feelings with them and they looked if not as they had dissapeare as if they had been reduced, as if they had been cut in half and now they were only half torturing us.

To say good night to Nadia, I gave her a tight hug, I missed that feeling so much. This day was one of the happiest I'd lived in a long time. I went to bed in my elevator.
