My Roomie Crying

October 2, 2008

I think one of the dilemmas of having a roommate, as in real roommates – together in the same room, not just same-house-different-rooms – is trying to do something we used to do when we had the luxury of our privacy.

I was sleeping when I heard her whimpers.  I was awoken by her cries.

Of course, I pretended not to hear. What I really wanted to do was to jump up and ask her, “Judeeh! Are you crying!!!???? Omg, are you okay? What’s the problem????”

It was like playing dead when the killer was still walking around to see who he can get. I was nervous, I was dumbfounded, I was frozen. I was also really sleepy.

We’re such funny roomies. Because not too long ago, I was struggling with the exact same thing – trying to cry without waking her! Haha…

I just cried in my bed as silently as possible. I’m not sure if she heard it but since I’ve heard hers, I’m not too confident of myself anymore.

I don’t know what’s bothering her. It’s 1am now and she’s not home yet. I can only understand why she wouldn’t be.
