I layed in bed staring at my ceiling that had random drawings from years pasted. My phone was blowing up with notifications. Probably from Willow and Gus. I knew none of them were from Amity.

She would never text me. Now that she's to busy with that boyfriend of hers. Not that I would ever open her messages, not after what she did to me.

I admit, I'm not myself anymore. Several people had told me that, including Eda, my second mother. I don't feel like myself anymore. Eda has slowly started getting me to smile and talk. But, not much.

I mostly just lay in my bed all day, doing nothing. Sometimes I would go outside, to walk around or listen to music. Most of the time Willow, Gus or the gang dragged me outside against my will.

Eda has to force me to eat, cuz I won't. I'm not hungry. I'm always tired but I can't sleep. So what's the point of feeling tried?

I heard a knock on my door but I ignored it. I'm not in the mood to get up or talk. So, I tried to ignore it like my phone. But, sadly that wasn't gonna happen.

The door opened, followed by a loud mouth. "Dude! Answer your damn phone. Kaleb won't stop blowing my phone up, worrying bout you because you're not answering your phone!" Hunter screamed at me.

Great...It's my brother...

"Just tell him I'm fine and I'm sleeping!" I groaned, rolling over. I heard Hunter sigh as loud as he could. "You know that's not going to work on him. So get your lazy ass up and CALL HIM!!" Hunter shouted, giving my wall a punch.

Hunter walked out of my room, slamming my door. I rolled my eyes, looking back at the ceiling. I have no energy to do anything right now. Usually I would give Kaleb a call to ease his worries. But I can't.

After like a hour of silence. I heard my door open and close. I groaned "Leave me the FUCK alone Hunter!" I shouted slamming a fist on my bed. "Looks like someone didn't take their medication and had a bad day." the person chuckled, sitting by me on my bed.

I looked over to see Kaleb. I sighed. "Not gonna give me a hug or anything? What happen today?" Kaleb asked taking my hand and rubbing soft little circles on it. I growled. I got up so Kaleb could lay down then I layed on him.

"Did you atleast take your medicine today?" Kaleb asked. I nodded my head, I didn't want to talk. I think he knew that because he wasn't asking alot of questions.

"Y'know...Light is the meaning of your name. I don't see any light no more. It's gone, forgotten, destroyed. Before I saw light all the time, every second of my life.
The reason Camila named you Luz is because she knew your have light in you your whole life. She would be sad that your light died down." Kaleb finished, giving my hand a small squeeze.

I looked down at my messy floor. The thought of making my mother sad, made me disappointed in myself. I already knew I was a mistake. Now, a disappointment...

My throat started closing up, I became shaky, tears threatening to spill. I wouldn't let them tho. Memories of my mother flashing through my head every five seconds. I was grasping for air.

I felt a figure hold me tight. Whispering sweet things in my ears as I was a mess. My vision blured with hot, stinging tears that rolled down my cheeks.
