You stare into the ceiling of the dark room as you try to fall asleep. This is your fifth attempt to fall asleep, yet it was still a failure. The cold air starts to hit you, giving you shivers. You pull your blanket close to you, but it's too small to cover your entire body. Out of nowhere, you started to get a little drowsy, and as you start to fall asleep, memories start to rewind in your head. They weren't the good memories...
"Are you okay?" The person asked, amongst multiple overlapping voices asking the exact same thing. The air got colder, as your neck started to tighten. Tears start to fall from your face. As you cried, you started to mumble to yourself, "I can't stop crying." No matter how hard you tried, the tears kept flowing uncontrollably. Finally, you decide to answer the question with a shaky voice...
"Im okay, everything's fine."
What a lie.
