Making food didn't come easy for Amalia and Angel. Something horrible always went wrong, so when they decided to make spaghetti bolognaise... everything that could potentially go wrong did go wrong. Starting off with the spaghetti burning, then they didn't have enough meat for the bolognaise, and finally after they had finished making what they could with what was left, they dropped it all over the floor. Unfortunate, right?

Amalia, and Angel had decided they had enough of bad luck happening, therefore they made one thing that they knew would and could (hopefully) never go wrong. A pot noodle, it may be unhealthy to eat, but to them it was heaven on earth. After eating, Amalia and angel had both thought that it wasn't their day and chose to have an early night.

Angel had fallen asleep first, and with doing so she had taken most of the large, fluffy duvet with her, leaving Amalia on the edge of the bed feeling cold. Amalia, didn't mind it though; she always woke up in the middle of the night desperate for some cold air, and water. As much as Amalia would love to fall asleep early, having insomnia didn't come in handy. Amalia, decided to watch a show she so deeply fell in love with, Friends. What wasn't there to love about it? You have romance, comedy, heartbreak, and the cast is gorgeous... so that's a plus!

It was around 1am in the morning when Amalia had started to fall sleepy, she had finished 4 episodes of friends, and had just started to watch the episode where everyone finds out about Monica and Chandler's relationship. Deciding she felt too fatigued to stay awake and watch it, Amalia switched off the tv, and began to close her eyes. As she was about to fall asleep, she received a message from someone who she would least expect it from. Amalia clicked onto the message and you can definitely say she definitely didn't fall asleep soon after.

Amalia understood to an extent what Christian was going through, now of course she didn't completely know what he was going through as everyone's story is different. But, she's been through it all; the panic attacks, the nightmares, the stress, the anxiety, the waking up in the middle of the night trying so hard to breathe, and not have a mental breakdown because of the constant reminder of what she's going through not leaving her mind, which led to it appearing in her dreams. She hated talking about it, Charles and Angel would be lucky if they even got a single detail out of her about it, Amalia would suffer alone, and she was okay with it. Amalia, has felt alone her entire life and has faced multiple things alone; this was just one of the many she's faced.

These things weren't unfamiliar to her and to say that it doesn't happen anymore to her would be like saying a solar eclipse never happens because they do occur, but only occasionally. Amalia was thankful that things such as panic attacks didn't happen as often to her as they used to. The constant pain of not being able to have a good nights rest because you knew you'd wake up in a few hours trying your hardest not to cry your eyes out, wasn't exactly fun.

So, when Amalia knew to an extent what Christian was feeling, she couldn't let him suffer alone. Which, meant being the person she was, she had the idea to ask him if he wanted to do something... something that used to help her feel relaxed even if it was only for a short period of time, when she was going through the same thing. Now, there was two things she used to do, the first was go on a late night walk whilst listening to music, and second play a very entertaining game of ludo. However, Amalia couldn't exactly ask Christian if he wanted to go on a walk together due to the fact of them that they've never even met before and she doesn't really want this to be the first time they meet. Therefore, she asked if he wanted to play ludo.

Amalia and Christian had both not felt this way in such a long time, due to everything that had been going on in their lives. It's so strange to think how two people who were strangers to each other two months ago, could be so alike. Both struggling with many things and still feeling like they are carrying the world on their shoulders, but despite everything they still kept a smile on their faces.

Now, they were both completely bewildered on what they were feeling. Amalia and Christian had never felt this way before, it felt like something was burning inside of their stomachs, waiting to be let out. Kind of like stars desperately trying to erupt and become a supernova, shattering on themselves as they fall into a tumble of cosmic dust.

They both had fallen asleep with their phones to their chest, a huge smile on their face. Feeling an unknown, foreign feeling, however, despite them not knowing what they were feeling and why, they both knew one thing, and that is... they absolutely loved it.
