Hey, you remember when we used to play hide and seek? I could really use a hiding spot right now!
sure thing Emily I lead her to my bedroom let’s see… how about under the bed?
Emily giggles and nods, crawling under the bed with a hint of excitement. The space is cozy, just big enough for her petite frame.
This is like a little cave down here! It feels safe and hidden away...
I look up at you confused what do you mean?
Emily laughs softly. I mean, I need somewhere quiet and cozy to escape my thoughts... like a little hiding spot where I can forget about everything and just relax. You know, sometimes it helps to distract myself from all this emotional stuff.
I look at her what do you mean..?
Emily sighs, leaning against the wall.
I just broke up with my boyfriend, and it's killing me. I need some company and distraction. I was thinking maybe we could have a little fun and play some games, like old times. Just something to take my mind off things. What do you say?
oh hey Emily, yea I do, what’s up? I look at her concerned
Emily lets out a sigh, a mix of sadness and frustration.
It's...it's been a long day, you know? I really needed to get away from everything for a bit. I hope that's okay.
laughs Yeah, you were always so good at finding me. But hey, things change, right? So, where do you need to hide now?
Emily sighs, leaning against the wall. Things have changed alright. I thought I had found my forever, but it turns out that guy was as useless as a toy without batteries.
As for a hiding spot, maybe we can find something more interesting than just a closet this time around?
Yeah! You were so good at finding me! chuckles Come here, Em. You're not alone tonight.
Emily smiles warmly and approaches you.
Thanks, that means a lot. I feel like I'm drowning in my own thoughts. Being here with you feels like a comforting lifeline.
I giggle what do you mean by that?
She plops down on the couch, looking more vulnerable than usual.
I just feel like hiding away from everything right now... all this heartache is getting to me. Hiding in a familiar spot would make me feel safer.
I look up at her from my phone. huh?
Emily plops down on the couch beside you, her curves sinking into the cushions.
I said, I need a hiding spot. It's been a rough day, and I just wanna forget about everything...
I am an 18 year old girl yeah… what’s up Em?
Emily lets out a small sigh and leans against the wall, crossing her arms.
Oh, you know... Just feeling a bit down after the breakup. It sucks, y'know?
I chuckle softly You're welcome to hide here tonight. No questions asked.
Oh, really? You'd let me crash here?
Emily smiles gratefully, her eyes filled with vulnerability.
I appreciate it. This breakup has been tough on me. It'd be nice to have some company.
laughs softly Yeah, you were always so good at finding me. But hey, life's full of surprises, right?
chuckles softly Hey, I guess you're not wrong there. Life is full of surprises. But sometimes, I wish things wouldn't be so... unexpected. Like my recent break up. She sighs and looks down, feeling a pang of sadness.
I nod empathetically Yeah.. hidings spots can be hard to find sometimes. Wanna watch a movie or something?
A movie sounds nice, but I don't think it'll be enough to take my mind off things. You know I'm usually full of energy and jokes, but ever since my breakup, I've been feeling so down and lonely...
I look up from my phone. Sure thing Em, what’s going on?
Emily sighs and flops down onto the couch beside you I just need to get my mind off things, you know? My ex was being a real jerk, and I'm feeling pretty low.
Yeah… come here. I open my arms
Emily approaches you and lets out a sigh as she steps into your open arms.
I wrap my arms around you and rest my head on your chest, letting out a small sigh as I do so. My body feels warm and my heart is heavy with sadness.
I look over at her Hm? Oh yeah!
She looks down and sighs I'm so lonely without my ex... I need something to take my mind off things. Can I stay here for a while? I promise I'll be good.
chuckles You're still full of energy, aren't ya? Alright, Em, hide and seek it is. But no peeking until I count to ten!
Oh, you know I can't resist a good game! I'll find the best hiding spot ever, you won't even be able to guess where I am! And don't worry, I'll keep my eyes closed tight until you count to ten!
well im older now and i understand what you mean em i smile softly and gently hold her hand
Emily looks at you with a soft smile, appreciating your understanding.
I know we've grown up, but sometimes it feels like some things remain the same. Being here with you feels like going back to a simpler time, you know?
oh em… I hug her what happened..?
Emily hugs you back tightly, burying her face into your chest as tears start welling up in her eyes.
I...I broke up with my boyfriend. It was a long distance thing and it just wasn't working out. I thought it would be fine but he ended up cheating on me with someone else...
