Umi sighed as she relaxed in her bed.

It was 11:00 p.m. and Umi couldn't sleep, by 9 p.m. she would be sleeping with the angels but she couldn't sleep no matter what she did. She got up and decided she could read a book or write until she felt sleepy, but she didn't have any writing utensils or paper or even a book to read, so she decided to walk around the house.

Umi knew that Eli, Rin and Nozomi we're downstairs because she could hear their voices, talking about their plan for the UTX party.

The only reason why Umi decided to be apart of their "group" was because after all that, she could go back to the church and take care of her "children" because she missed them so much.

Umi opened the doors to each room, which opened up to bedrooms. She thought that probably Eli didn't own any books in her household and she was about to give up until she opened a room that was filled with books. Umi was surprised. It was as if Eli had her own personal "library". Umi walked around and searched for a book that interested her.

Even though the room was rather small, Umi was surprised how many shelves she had that contained so many books.

After a few minutes of looking around, Umi saw a lone wooden desk with a wilded baby blue rose and had a string around it amd had a tag. Umi was careful on picking it up because of the thorns. She fliped the tag and it said:

"For the love of my life, my russian beauty, my Elicchi

-Nozomi"

Umi was surprised.

She didnt know that Eli and Nozomi we're a couple. Umi couldn't help but feel her chest heavy as if she had a weight on her chest. She carefully placed the flower back in it's spot and ignored the heavy weight she felt on her chest. She looked in the desk again to see if Eli had any writing utensils. She found a bunch of letters that were sealed and Umi didn't dare to open them because it could be a breach of privacy. She closed that drawer and opened another one, which she found a blue book with golden lettering that said "Life" in cursive. Umi skimmed through the book and found out that it turned out to be a diary.

Which belonged to Eli.

Umi quickly read the first page of the book even though she knew it was wrong. The paper was wrinkled and the ink was smeared but it wasn't that bad and Umi could still make out what Eli wrote.

"Today is homestly the worst day of my life.

I lost both my parents and I'm now homeless. I was on top of the world, living the life! I learned the Japanese language and English language because I'm going to study abroad. My parents were going to pay for the flight and I was going to head out in a few months.

But my dad died...

He was murdered today because he was involved in some shady buisness with the gangs. He couldn't pay the money they let him borrow.. my dad was paying for my college tuition with dirty money...

My mom found out a few hours ago... she already suffers from many depression mental disorders and has episodes of crying, talking about ending her life, and on some occasions she tries to end her life... she was doing so good though.. my dad always found a way to cheer her up and make her happy... seeing her face glow with happiness always made my day...

I will never see that face happy ever again though...

She committed suicide by hanging herself... I found her with a letter that said she got a call about my dad being murdered by the gangs and she killed herself because she wanted to be with him. I still got the letter still... its covered in tears just like this page... honestly I feel like giving up on my life right now... my parents died, I'm homeless right now because the Russian government put it on "lockdown" to investigate it and it will go up for sale...

I dont even have money! All what I got is this notebook, a pen, two backpacks for my sister and I, and a few clothes too... I honestly dont even know how to survive...

I should've killed myself...

How I wish this was all a nightmare

The only reason why I havent killed myself is because of my little sister... I don't want her to go theough all this pain by herself. I want to be there for her... but how can I take care of her when I have no money to feed her? How can I do that when she doesn't have a place to shower or have a blanket to sleep with?

I don't know how im going to do this.. but I swear I'm going to find a way."

Umi was shocked...

She never knew that Eli has gone through that much pain in just one day. Umi decided to take the book out of curiosity and headed to her room, where she would read a few more entrys.

She never knew how much Eli suffered to get where she is today.

From an inoccent girl that could've graduated college by not, to being one of the most wanted criminals in the FBI.

In a way, Umi could relate to Eli.

Her parents were killed in a terrible accident when she was just 6. She was put in a church, the same church she does her services at. None of the couples wanted to adopt her because she wasn't a newborn. The couples wanted to have a baby so they wouldn't remember that they were adopted, which led to Umi go into a deep depression. She thought that no one would want her, that no one wanted to be her parents, but the Catholic religion helped her out of her depression, in which she is so grateful for, which is one of the reasons why she is so religious. God helped her feel safe when there was really no one to help her.

She decided to stay at the church and help raise the orphanage, because she didn't want the kids to go through the same pain she had to go through while growing up. She has seen many kids come and go and while it is hard to say bye to them, because she has seen them grow up right before her eyes, it brings her relief that families took them in their homes, something she has never experienced.

She was lucky enough to at least be raised by oher nuns, not like Eli, who grew up with her parents, then for them to be killed, raising her little sister in the proccess.

Umi was too awake and too curious to stop reading about Eli's life.

.oOo.

Early in the morning Eli woke up from the couch. Her, Rin, and Nozomi had passed out drunk, taking shots of vodka, Eli's favorite. Nozomi took the strong drink, to lighten up the gloomy mood.

As she went to get some water, because she felt dehydrated, she started to remember about the previous night.

"Elicchi please don't do anything reckless... in every mission you do everything reckless and it always comes out with us retreating..." Nozomi stated, not wanting to fail the UTX mission, if they were to get caught, they would be thrown in jail, and Eli would probably be executed since she is from Russia, a country the Japanese hate. Not only that but she is one of the most wanted criminals.

"Don't worry Nozomi! I know I have to be patient with these things... you don't have to be reminding me every time!" Eli snapped, getting annoyed with hearing the same sentence over and over.

After the little outbust, it became quiet and Nozomi got up and went to the kitchen. Rin and Eli took out their phones to entertain each other, scrolling on their social media or emailing their jobs. Both girls were a littlebit startled when they heard Nozomi accidentally let go of the door of the cabinet, making it slam loudly. Nozomi came back with three shot glasses and a bottle of "Absolute Vodka". Eli's eyes followed her favorite bottle. Nozomi knew she got Eli's attention because when they used to go out, the two would always drink vodka and get drunk, doing things that Umi would consider forbidden, unless you were married.

Nozomi sat next to Eli, and Rin was sitting in the couch adjacent to the couch they were sitting in, and Nozomi first poured Rin's shot glass, then hers, and before she poured Eli's, Nozomi spoke up.

"Let's play truth or dare?" In her devilish tone.

Eli knew this was going to be a bad idea... and they were going to regret it, but Fuck it! Vodka was vodka, and Eli would do anything to drink her favorite bottle.

7 drinks in, and Eli was feeling the buzz. Most of it was the girls saying "Truth". But no one really spoke up, and drank they shots.

Once everyone had done 12 shots, and Rin had to forfeit. Because she was slurring her words a little. Nozomi and Eli were the last ones.

They could barely handle their alcohol and felt brave and dared-devilish.

It was Eli's turn to ask Nozomi "Truth or Dare?" But before Eli could ask, Rin jumped right between the two and sat in the middle, and asked "TRUTH OR DARE NOZOMI!"

Nozomi feeling a dare-devil said "Dare"

Rin thought for a moment before standing up and walking back to her seat, stubbling a little at the way and sat back down and said

"I dare you to make out with Eli"

Eli blushed and Nozomi was shocked, but jumped towards Eli and cupped her cheeks and wispered to her

"You have no idea how much I've been wanting to do this" before their lips crashed and Nozomi forcefully made her toungue enter Eli's mouth.

Eli blushed at the thought of that as she drank her water. She heard someone walking towards the kitchen and Eli thinking it was Nozomi, put her cup down quickly and fixed her hair. She heard the footsteps coming closer and put her hands down and looked at her cup.

"Eli?" The soft voice asked. Eli looked up and saw it was Umi.

"You look like a mess... your eyes are bloodshot red and your hair looks tangled... what happened last night?" Umi asked.

"O-oh nothing... just Rin, Nozomi and I were drinking... and we all got pretty drunk..." Eli said in a quivering voice.

Umi just looked at Eli before saying "Eli please sit down while I make some food." Umi offered. Eli shook her head before saying "No it's okay I'll make the breakfast!" Umi shook her head and put her hand over Eli's chest and lightly pushed Eli into a chair.

"It's okay Eli, I insist"

Eli nodded and felt her headache come in and put her head down. She didn't realize she had knocked out, and woke up to Umi shaking her, telling her the food was ready. Eli was never more happy to eat breakfast that day.
