Luca's Pnt Of View.
The day came for me to go back to school and I just didn't know how i was going to do it. I didn't think I had the strength. I didn't think I could face the school or even the world. Aunt was recovering little by little and Mom hasn't left her side. I would probably visit her after school.

I went downstairs and Dad served me breakfast. I didn't even have an appetite.

"Try to eat. You'll need the energy" Dad said and I took some bites before picking my backpack, keys and phone.

"Do you need me to take you"

"I'll be fine Dad. I'll see you later"

"Stay safe"

I walked out of the house and sat in my car and I was on my way. I bypassed a boy and a girl who were probably siblings. He was helping her with her bicycle and she smiled and gave him a hug after he fixed it. I looked back into the road and I was almost at school. I entered the premises and packed my car. I looked at the school and gulped lightly. I felt a hand slip I to mine and I looked over to see Ava.

"Like I said. Together" She said and I gave her hand a light squeeze. We walked into the hallway and everyone looked our way. We separated to go to our lockers. My friends came over.

"Don't look at me like that" I said and left. I went to sit in the corner of class, I want to be alone. People kept looking in my direction but I didn't care anymore. Even teachers looked at me they same way my friends did and it was irritating me. I don't want anyone's pity. I AM FINE. I don't need people to look at me like I'm fragile cause I'm not.

I hardly paid attention to anyone. After the bell went off, I went to place my books in my locker. I saw Scarlett walking towards me and I rolled my eyes.

"What do you want"

"I just wanted to give my condolences"

" Thank you now please, disappear"

" Luca" She called as she placed her hand over my shoulder and I removed it.

"If you need anyone to talk to, I'm around" She said and left. I looked at her when she walked away. I signed and locked my locker and went off to my next class. I met Liam on my way to class. We just looked at each other until we by passed each other and I turned and walked off. I entered the class and everyone looked at me.

"What happened to his sister was a real tragedy" I heard some girls say and I was fed up.

" JUST STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT AND JUST SHUT UP. I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF ALL OF YOU"

I stormed out of the class and the lights above me started to flicker. I felt like I was losing control, I never lose control. I tried to open the door to the boy's room but I broke the handle and I grunted. I walked out of the school and I kicked a trash can which crampled itself. Everything was suffocating me and I punched a metallic stand I found. I felt a hand over my shoulder and I turned as I raised my fist at the person.

"It's just me" Scarlett said and raised her hands in surrender.

" Just leave me alone"

" No. You're spirraling. You need to calm down" She said as she placed her hand over my chest.

" Breathe In and out" She added and I followed and I felt myself calming down. We sat on a bench and I signed.

" Why are you being nice to me?? You never liked my sister"

"I didn't say that I didn't like your sister. I just..... I was just feeling lonely and angry and I decided to take it out on her but she saved my life and I feel indebted to her after the person sent me that note." She explained and I nodded and looked forward. She placed her hand over my leg and I looked at her.
