Everything around me was empty. I had no feeling. When I found out my best friend, Kenzi, the only family I had left, was going away, I couldn't even move. It felt like my life had ended. Despair, sadness, anger, and more despair. Emotions are everywhere. Why couldn't the family just adopt both of us? Ms. Layla comes over and hugs me. I try to hide my sadness. I don't like people seeing me cry. Do you know how I am broken? Well now, I feel like I won't even survive. I go into ou-no my room. Kenzi is gone. I can't call it OUR room anymore. I collapse on the bed. My face starts filling up with tears. "Why couldn't she have stayed?!" I scream, punching my pillow. I decided I should check on Kai. I put on my mask and went in. I gasp as I see Kai and run over. He was so pale he looked white. "Kai..." I whispered. I just lost Kenzi. I can't lose Kai. He is like a younger brother to me. Dr. Louis comes in and sees me tearing up.
"Hey there, Kai will be okay. They found medicine for The Scarlet Fever. This just means the medicine is working," he said
"R-Really?" I asked, finally looking at him
"Really."
Then he walks out. Kai looks me in the eye.
"Where is Kenzi?"
"She got adopted," I choke but there was anger in my voice.
"Oh, I'm so sorry." He quietly whispered
"No, don't be. It wasn't your fault, just rest up and get better for me okay?" I say, forcing a smile. Then I get up, and quietly shut the door. The next morning I don't even bother to get up.
"Mornin' Luna!" says a cheerful voice.
"Kai?" I ask turning around
"Yup that's me! Anyway, Ms. Layla wanted me to wake you up for school,"
I look at the clock, "Oh shoot! Class starts in 15 minutes!!! Thanks, Kai, glad you're feeling better. Bye!"
"Bye Luna!" says Kai, leaving the room.
I try to get up, but I can't. I still remember what happened yesterday, and wish I could skip school. It would never be the same without Kenzi, but I decided to go because at least it's better than staying inside all day. At school, I see Mark and Zack at our usual spot. By the look on my face, they could tell something was wrong.
"Yo Luna, you okay?" asked Mark.
"I'm fine," I say, looking away.
"Dude, we know something's up, so spill," demanded Zack
"I said I'm fine." I snap back.
There was a moment of silence..
"Fine, Kenzi got adopted," I finally respond, "Hey, I brought Shadow," I tried to change the subject. Mark is my second best friend, totally random, I know, so I told him and Zack I could talk to animals. "Shadow!" I call in her language. She comes over and everyone screams.
"Weirdos. Why are they scared of a cute black wolf?"
"You literally just said why; a black wolf. But cool, cool." Mark says
"Don't try and change the subject!" Zack shouts while I pet Shadow, turning away.
I couldn't speak. I didn't want to let them see me cry.
"Luna, we're here for you. If you need anything, just ask." Zack says.
Before I could say anything, the bell rang.
"Well, see you, tomorrow guys!" I say, quickly rushing back to class.
At night, I couldn't fall asleep. Anger, depression, despair, sadness, anger, depression, despair, sadness. Emotions are everywhere. More and more all the time. Those words always appear in my head. I couldn't take it anymore. I got out of bed and left the room. I go out and stare at the stars. Kenzi and I used to lay on the grass and tried to count all the stars we saw. A fat, lousy tear fell from my eye. I stare and stare, trying to count them, but it is too hard without Kenzi. I soon somehow fall asleep. The next day, I woke up with Mark and Kai peering over me.
Hey guys! I know I skipped a chapter. So...here it is!
