Morticia sat at her computer, head cradled between her hands, trying not to cry. All of it, gone. Every file, picture, song, document and downloaded program was gone from her hard drive. It was bad enough that the majority of her documents, mainly the ones she posted online under the username Karkatsbabe, had been lost somehow when her computer automatically updated.
But this, this was just too much. Her computer was back to the original state it had been in when she first got it. All of her documents deleted, her manga and downloaded fanfiction lost to the ether.
Why couldn't she have backed it all up on a USB? Gods, she was so fucking stupid.
"Hey, Morticia, do you know where the ramen is?" asked her roommate from the kitchen. Bailee was her friend, someone that understood the wonders of fanfiction and manga, and quite enjoyed reading Morticia's work. This would devastate her too.
"It's on top of the fridge." she called to the chunky woman, wincing when her voice cracked.
All of her work gone. Harry Potter, Black Butler, Naruto, My Little Monster, Ouran High School Host Club, and Homestuck. All of her fanfiction stories gone. Why did shit like this keep happening to her? What had she done to deserve this? Killed a cow in a past life when she practiced Hinduism? Been in a battle against a god? Or, even crazier, spurned the affections of one?
"Are you okay? I know you haven't heard from your boyfriend in a few days." Bailee said from the doorway.
"Everything—everything on my computer is gone." This was the moment that the tears burst past the dam. Suddenly she was sobbing and shaking and why the fuck did this always fucking happen to her?!
Bailee hugged her, wrapping Morticia in warmth and comfort she hadn't felt since her mother died.
Morticia was hanging on for dear life to the brunette, sobbing and weeping like she hadn't in years. Everything she kept bottled up came pouring out.
One thing kept repeating in her mind.
"Fuck my life!"
Author's Note~
So yeah, that's pretty much what happened to me. Except I don't have a boyfriend (ever), I don't have a roommate, and my name is not Morticia. I was the one consoling her.
