It appeared Elara had fallen asleep… maybe she'd spent a little too much time staying up last night… anyways, it appeared that she'd missed quite a bit while she was asleep. Not to mention that with all the new information, her mind might as well have been exploding.
i guess i missed a lot after i fell asleep…
my mind is blown
first of all, its 2013
and why the heck are we able to communicate
if we are in different timezones???
Ben set his homework down and opened up his laptop to see even more posts. He skimmed through them and typed a reply.
ok first of all, theres no way ur serious dude
right now it's nov 12 2018
im in folsom, california, united states of america
…earth
yea thats it
He was still convinced that this was some kind of bizarre roleplay chat he had walked in on.
As Elara typed her reply, she could feel hope (which she thought was stupid at this point) growing in her small body, but quickly dissipating as she continued typing.
…i wish it was 2018
then maybe i could at least have hope that ill live longer than the doctors expect me to…
its january 8 2013
but yea, im in cali aswell
san francisco aha

Melanie tilted her head and typed back to Elara. Hey, we're in the same year, but it's January for you and June for me…..that's weird. She hesitated, then kept typing. ….You keep saying you're not going to live very long…..do you want to talk about it? I guess that was supposed to be the original purpose of this chat, after all….
Ben sat down and grabbed a cold mug of coffee that had been left on his desk.
yea she has a point
only tell us if you want to tho
were not pushin yuh
if you dont wanna say anything i can talk ig
oh sorry
i fell asleep
i'm Azami from the Goa Kingdom
but i'm in the Grand Line now

i can just,,, go now i guess…
no dude its fine like
stay, please
ur problems are important too, dont- u arent burdening us
its ok,, rlly

Thanks hun! i'll be sure to PM ya!
(alrighty)
you sure?
in which case, im probably gonna end up doing this kinda thing
several times a week
anyways, i hope youre doin better than me, at least
I'm fine, Melanie replied. It was kind of a lie, but it felt selfish to talk about her troubles to someone who clearly had it much worse. It's all right, by the way, you can vent to us as much as you want. I guess there probably isn't much that could make you feel better right now, but it seems like the least we can do is be there for you.
yea same here dude
haha okay then…
anyways, im sure ive seen most of it
so go ahead, if any of you guys want some advice or anything
i can try to help
besides, itll distract me from my inevitable death!
:)))))
It was back to dark humour, it seemed. Oh well, Elara hoped they'd get what she meant with all those smiley faces…
Ben read Elara's last message and wrinkled his nose.
hey
call me a hypocrite if u want but
its not super healthy for u to be makin jokes about this yk
imean sure it may ease the pain a little but if u dont actually talk to ne1 about this kinda stuff
its not gonna get any better dude
ok?
trust me ik
used to do the same shit
and hey it doesnt have to be us either. u can find a real therapist
sometimes they do it for free if u live with ur parents and cant talk to them yk.
but hey if this is working to like help u at all
keep at it
He smiled a bit despite himself.
Melanie saw the joke and felt a dull pain in her chest. It was the same feeling she got whenever she tried to laugh about her depression. I agree with everything Ben just said, she wrote. But if you'd rather be distracted from it….that's your call. We can do that too.
yea exactly
were here 4 u dude
ugh, you guys are right
i know this
but i'd much rather just ignore, well,,,,
you know
…that
than actually face it
Ava checked the chat and realized she missed a bunch. She read through and caught up. well I missed a bunch. I agree that joking about things can be unhealthy and just mask the problem She sent before thinking. back in school my friend used to joke about everything going on until she finally broke down. It was scary.
Melanie waited a bit for someone else to post, then shrugged and typed up he own reply. We'll stop asking you about it if you want, but then someone else has to volunteer to share their struggles. And if my depression is anything like you guys's, it doesn't like to be talked about much. We can do it though, I think.
