Vanilla

I can't say I was not expecting something from today's meeting, though the future remains unknown.

I jumped out of the bed, my head still hurting, and walked to the bathroom to freshen. I needed it desperately.

I looked at myself in the mirror. My eyes were close to being dead, there was drool stuck near the corner of my lips, I could see a drop of tear in my left eye. 

'I can't believe I cried.'

I splashed some water at my face and looked at myself again. 

"Hmm…"

It was looking better than before and that was all I needed.

"Good."

I took the towel hanging beside me and wiped my face clean. 

I walked out of the bathroom, humming a tune from my world. The relaxed sunlight and fresh air of morning almost deemed yesterday's night non-existent. But I knew how hard it was to endure the pain of tribulations. Also, the tribulations were harder on me than usual, the same goes for Tara though, but… meh.
