When you said your last goodbye, I died a little bit inside. I lay in tears in bed all night, alone without you by my side. But if you loved me, why'd you leave me?

Hope is for suckers

"Cami, have you seen mum!" Isaac yelled from downstairs.

"No, but she called telling me she's going to be out with Laura all day." Camilla said as she walked down the stairs.

"JJ just sent me a message. There's going to be a party at the Baker's tonight. Want to go?" He asked her.

"Isaac.." she said.

"Cami, I think we deserve this. Can't stay moping around, it's life. Let's go and enjoy ourselves." Isaac said walking to the living room, putting on the tv.

"I guess we could go.." she said to herself.

- Yesterday -

Natalie was always coming back home after two
days of not being home. She had dark circles underneath her eyes, very dry skin and she had red puffy eyes and cheeks. If she stayed home, she was staying in the same clothes day and night. Her hair was also a mess.

The shower would be on for more than an hour, steam coming out from under the door. The mother often wouldn't leave her room. Clothes, makeup and tissues scattered everywhere on the floors.

The twins had noticed their mums odd behaviour in the morning. When she had left, they both went into her room. It reeked. Felt although the  windows hadn't been opened for days. There could be bugs crawling on the floors and they wouldn't be able to notice.

"Is mum depressed?" Isaac blurted. "How could her room get this messy. She doesn't even let us eat in our rooms. Think about it, logic."

"Isaac, this is serious. How have we not noticed mums odd behaviour?" She asked him.

"I don't know. Everything did feel normal, she went to your meet, went over to the Baker's and she even threw you a party." He said to her.

The two siblings didn't understand what was going on. They haven't seen anything like this since their grandpa had passed. It was unlikely that some other close relative had passed. They were only close with their grandpa.

"So are we both thinking mums depressed? Orr?" Isaac said.

"Isaac, really?" She looked at him and rolled her eyes. Either he didn't just want to believe that his mums actions are like this or he really.. there's nothing really else to think.
