I kept quiet the whole time, not wanting to interrupt the story. 

''It was Spring, it just started to get warm outside again and they went out for a walk late at night. Anna was still a teenager in her head, she was thinking like every other one and she wanted to be alone with her boyfriend so they sneaked inside the abandoned building. But instead of love, she got a rock in the back of her head. He killed her cold-heartedly and left her there, but what he didn't know is that Lana had a crush on him and was jealous of her sister, so she stalked them, hence witnessing the whole thing. She took a picture of him at the crime scene and ran outside and called the police. They eventually put him in jail and he's been there since.'' 

I didn't know what to say after hearing the whole story. It was awful, actually, it was extremely sad. So, without a word, I stood up and walked to Lana's room.

''I'm sorry for nagging you about it, I won't do it again'' I said entering her room. She was laying in bed facing opposite from where I was. I couldn't tell if she was awake but pretended to be asleep or not, but I just left her be. She had every right to be mad at me for making her relieve the whole tragedy. 

...

Days passed and the two of us haven't talked to each other at all. It hurt me a little bit but I let her have her space. 

One night, I went for a walk and eventually I found myself in front of the abandoned building. I decided to go in. I don't actually have an excuse why, I just felt drawn to it for some reason. It was falling apart actually, I literally had to crouch a few times not to hit my head and there were all sorts of rumble on the ground but the building itself wasn't interesting at all. It looked like every other abandoned building.

Just when I wanted to head back out I heard a little shuffle, I looked behind me and saw nothing so I started walking faster, then again and again. I ran as fast as I could, so fast I tripped a few times. At one moment I tripped for real and fell really hard. I managed to get myself up and out of the building and fell to my knees hyperventilating. 

I walked back to the dorm room wishing to just lay to sleep. 

''God my head is throbbing'' I said grabbing a glass of water from the counter. I thought Lana was still in her room, we were supposed to go to a class soon but I still haven't seen her, so I went to her room but she wasn't there. I looked at our info table and she left a message that she was already at college and that she was going to visit home right after her classes. That meant she wasn't going to be here for a few days. Judging by how sulky she was towards me because I asked about her sister, I understood her and didn't want to bother her.

I decided not to go to classes because my headache kept getting worse and I just went back to sleep for the day.

...

The days were going by all the same since Lana left to visit her parents. I would wake up in the morning, and stay in bed until the afternoon. The truth is, I felt really depressed these past few days, I haven't left my room in days unless I had to eat, shower or go to classes, but I went to online classes only, so I went outside maybe once a day, to go for a walk. 

I felt horrible, I made a friend and it hasn't been even one semester and I already fucked it up. 

Lana is a great girl, a great friend, and I hurt her like that, why would I do that? 

Thinking about her and the whole situation only made me physically and mentally horrible, even more than I felt before. It was a really tough few days. 

...

Lana came back while I was asleep, I could hear her in her room. I got up and just as I was about to knock on her door I stopped. She was talking to someone.
