It was 3 a.m., and the room was dimly lit by the soft glow of a phone screen. A girl sat on her bed, knees pulled to her chest, scrolling mindlessly through a random chat website. The room was dark, with only faint light filtering in from outside, casting long shadows on the walls. She wore a simple first shirt and pants, the fabric slightly wrinkled from hours of restless sitting. Her hair was slightly messy, a reflection of her lack of care for anything beyond this moment. Loneliness had become her companion, and the world outside felt distant. Most of the conversations she had on these chats were fleeting, meaningless exchanges with strangers she’d never see again. She sighed, ready to close the app and drift into another restless night. But just as she was about to press the button, a new chat window popped up. “Hey there! Can’t sleep?” The message was simple, but something about it made her pause. The username on the other end was soft and warm, almost inviting. She hesitated before typing back. “No, just passing time. You?” “I guess I just wanted to talk to someone. Feels nice to have a conversation at this hour.” Something about the way this stranger spoke was different. The words carried a warmth she hadn’t felt in a long time. As they continued to chat, she found herself smiling—genuinely smiling—for the first time in what felt like forever. The girl on the other end was sweet, kind, and understanding. She listened, she laughed, and most importantly, she made her feel seen. The other girl was in a similar setting, lying in bed with dim lighting and only the glow of her phone illuminating her features. She wore soft, cozy pajamas, her hair falling naturally over her shoulders as she rested her head against the pillow. Hours passed in what felt like minutes, their conversation flowing effortlessly. They talked about everything—their favorite movies, their childhood memories, their secret dreams. It was as if, in that one night, they had known each other for a lifetime. Before logging off, they exchanged numbers. “Talk to you soon?” the sweet girl asked. She hesitated for a moment, then typed, “Yeah. I’d like that.” And soon became every day. At first, it was just a few texts here and there. Then it became daily conversations. Then long calls that lasted until the sun peeked over the horizon. With every word, every laugh, every late-night whisper, she found herself wanting more. One evening, as she lay in bed with her phone pressed to her ear, listening to the soft voice on the other end, she realized something. She never wanted to stop talking to her. Maybe it started as just another random chat, but somewhere between 3 a.m. and now, it had become something much more. Something real. Something she never wanted to let go of.
