Lisa pov.

We are now almost done with a part of the kitchen, Ian drove back to the garage and got the fridge as we could also do that. it's now 2:30 and Lara is still here and she also met Alex and Pablo. Pablo got back to his apartment and is sleeping now so we have to be careful to not wake him up as there is a possibility you can hear us.

Alex is playing some records for us while also helping. and I walked back in the room and with a hoodie, for Lara, she got pretty cold because the balcony and the door are open. 

" Thanks," she said sleepily putting it on.

" And done," Chris said opening the fridge.

now the sink is working the stove is working the kitchen counter is almost done we only have to clean it and spray something on it. I looked at Ian who is busy with the dishwasher.

" And I am also done," Ian said closing the dishwasher.

The only thing that needs to happen is another counter with some power points and drawers, and I also wanted a Wine fridge as we also drink wine on Fridays.

" Okay there is one stupid thing neither of you has thought about," Alex said looking at the kitchen.

" Painting the walls," Lara said. I looked at the walls and then at Chris and Ian.

" That's fine, I can do that by myself," I said sitting on the couch.

" Okay then I am going to my apartment as it is almost 3," Alex said walking towards the door

" goodnight everyone," Alex Said 

" Good night," We all said.

" We should also go, knock on our door if you are awake," Ian said walking out the door.

" Good night," Chris said walking out.

" Good night," We both said

" Do you also want to go or?" I asked Lara who is laying on the couch with her eyes closed.

" Hmm," Is the only answer she had. 

" Okay," I said grabbing a beer and a cigarette. I went to my balcony and lit my cigarette, looking at the city lights. letting my mind wander. 

but it stopped very soon because Lara's phone began ringing. I heard her pick it up. I got inside and sat down on the sofa waiting for the conversation to end. 

" And?" I asked her who is lying on the couch again.

" Is it okay if I stay for a night, Maria said that it was going to thunder," she said.

"...." 

"... do you want to sleep on the couch or the bed?" I asked her.

" I am good with the couch," She said having her eyes closed.

" Okay then, goodnight," I said putting my jacket on and going to the balcony again drinking my beer and smoking another cigarette. I looked at the sky and didn't see the stars. and before I knew it started to thunder and rain hard. I drank my beer and got inside, And saw Lara still laying on the couch looking at the black screen of the tv.

I threw away the empty beer bottle and got back to the balcony smoking the 5th cigarette. I sat down and looked at the city lights of New York while listening to the rain and thunder. I don't know why but I really wanted to go for a ride now but it would be bad to let Lara alone in my apartment.

" Are you not tired?" I heard Lara asking from behind me. She sat down on one of the chairs and also looked at the city lights.

(sigh) I am always tired.

" No, I am not tired," I said getting my package of cigarettes wanting to smoke another one but Lara placed her hand on the package.

" That's enough for today, you already smoked ten times with Chris and Ian," She said putting the package in my hoodie.

" What does it matter," I said blowing the smoke out of my mouth. 

" It does matter before you know it you end up in a hospital with an oxygen mask!" She said kinda annoyed.

" who, matters," I said walking inside getting another beer bottle. I went back and sat down taking a sip of my beer. when I get back she was just looking at the table.

" Listen it isn't thund--" Before I could finish a loud thunder was heard with Lighting. I looked next to me and didn't saw Lara anymore.

Should I go after her?

I just took another sip of my beer and looked at the view. after about five minutes Lara came back sitting in the same place.

" Did you prepare,  yourself?" I asked her smirking.

She just stayed silent looking at the package of cigarettes.

" Hey, Lara!" I said snapping her out of her thought

" Lisa..." She said my name. I looked at her waiting for her to say something.

" Are...Aren't... You uhm sleepy?" She asked me. She definitely wanted to ask something else.

" No, I think I will stay up the whole night," I said drinking my beer bottle empty.

" If you want to sleep you can sleep on my bed, I will sleep on the couch," I said getting another beer bottle feeling kinda moody.

" No I will also stay awake," She said silently, definitely feeling sleepy.

It got silent and the only thing you could hear was really small thunder sounds and the heavy rain.

" Lisa do you know you changed," She said looking at me.

" yeah I know," I said sighing.

" I am happier, I am more social. and people are less scared of me," I said in a calm tone.

" You know how I know?" I asked her.

" No?" She said looking at me

" Because you are talking to me," I said also looking at her.

She smiled and then looked away.

" Because you know that I am easier to approach now than the first year," I said taking a sip.

" that is true... But I always wanted to be friends with you since the first year... But You--"

" Yeah, I was rude, dark, and depressed," I said not wanting to hear it from her.

" No, you were not approachable because you would always go away if there would be too many people... And if I came," She said looking at the ground.
