        3:30 am.
        Time went by. Starlight was there beside me, we were sitting at the benches beside the emergency room of the 2nd floor hospital lobby. Manager and Space Cowboy were sitting at the other side, they were quiet and was all the time looking at the ground. It was so damn quiet, everything was at peace, the only thing that you could hear is my sniffing and sobbing. I wonder if I'm disturbing the other patients here.

        "Stef," Starlight said. She never called me Gaga when she's being serious.

        "Yes?" I weakly answered.

        "I'm so worried,"

        "With?" I stared blankly at the ground.

        "With you dummy, who else?" she held my hands. I managed to let out a small smile. Starlight stood and stretched her hands. "Anyway, I'm going to buy some Coffee, anything you want?"

        "You're going back to Deli?" I looked at her. Trying to make her smile. She's seems so affected about my situation.

        "No silly," she smiled and rubbed my head, in an older brother kind of way, except that she's a girl. "Just the coffee and tea 24/7 bar outside the hospital."

        "Tea would be fine," I felt my cheek brighten up. "Extra Creamy."

        "Order listed," she then turned to Manager and Space. "How bout you guys? Want anything?"

        "I'm going with you star, if that's alright." I heard Manager told her.

        "Black Coffee would be nice." Space timidly said. I looked at him, black coffee was James' favorite. Starlight and Manager went downstairs and left me and Space Cowboy alone. As I was thinking of James, I didn't notice that Space Cowboy already shifted from his bench to my bench. He was already beside me. I quickly glanced at him, he was looking at the ground. What was he thinking about? I wondered.

        "I had a girlfriend once," he finally said. "She died from cancer five years ago." there was a sudden change of tone in his voice. I stared at him, he looked so sad. Just as sad as me. I never thought that Space Cowboy, one of the Electro Pioneer could also be the emotional type.

        "I'm sorry about that." I softly said, we both experienced the same situation.

        "That's okay. I'm sorry about James." his lazy eyes turned to me. "I guess I got over her now, I mean. . She wanted me to have a good life. I promised her and I won't break that promise."

        "Oh," I scratched the back of my head. "Do you miss her?"

        "Pretty much always." he answered. A tear slid down my face, I remembered James.

        "Hey, don't cry." he looked at me, worried. Just when I was about to talk, Starlight and Manager arrived with six cups of coffee and tea.

        "Here you go, an extra creamy tea for the beautiful Lady and a black coffee for the cool DJ." starlight said cheerfully. Coffee makes her high. One time, we were at the Deli with James. She drank three cups of coffee and got high. She got up and danced around and started singing. We all had our laughs, coffee is much more worst than drugs in our little world.

        "Coffee is my drug," Starlight said. I bet she had drank a few cups of coffee already. Oh dear Starlight.

                                                           -------------------

        It's been a week since James passed away, I'm still not over it. As I lay alone on the bed where James and I used to sleep with, tears would streak down my face. The room where we used to stay seems so quiet. If ghosts are true, why can't I feel James' presence? All I get is the cold wind brushing through my skin. All I hear is the train passing by, surprisingly, I wasn't annoyed by the sound. I've never been this sad in my whole life, never.

        Starlight calls me every 2 hours, checking me up. She is that obsessed about my safety and emotion. She would also visit me every night and sometimes sleeps over at my place. As for my job, the management gave me a two week leave, leaving me only a week left. I wish it was a one year leave, I needed that much time to recover. Seriously.

        Now that James is gone, I kept thinking to myself, "What am I gonna do? What is left to do?"  I'd start crying, keeping my hands near my heart. I miss him so bad. James was the only guy that made my heart beat fast, unlike other guys that I have dated. He was the good guy, the responsible one, the bland one. But I fell for him, his charms were irresistible, his kisses were sweet, his life was all I ever wanted. But why? Why did he have to go? I was ready to spend my entire life with him. Why?

        I put on my jacket and got out of the apartment and went for a walk, I needed some air. It was already 7 in the evening but I still went to the nearby park. I sat on the swing, no trace of human life can be found, only a single lamp post was lighted. I gently kicked the ground and the swing started moving. I looked up the sky. It was beautiful, the stars twinkled shamelessly.

        "The stars are lucky, they don't have any problems at all." I mumbled to myself, I continued watching the stars. Just when I was about to leave, an old man approached me. He was grinning weirdly at me, I freaked out. I knew who he was, he was the crazy old guy who harassed the girls in the neighborhood. He also had killed several people in the past year, I wonder why he's not in jail. I stood up and tried to run, but he caught my hand and tried to pin me down. I struggled to break free, I tried to kick him, but I don't have that much energy to execute those moves. He was strong for an old man, and he was smelly too.

        He caught my other hand and laughed maniacally. He overpowered me. I didn't know what to do. Is this the end of my life too?

        "HELP!"  I cried. But no one heard me, I kept struggling. Trying to break free. "Help!"
