While it is Light

Chapter VI

Monday 1:00 P.M
Eastern Lily High School
Player: Celeste

Celeste left the lunch room first, and took her time walking through the hallway. She traced the lines on the wall, committing them to her memory and enjoying the feeling on her fingers.

Celeste felt someone roughly grab her, and pin her against the wall. The figure standing there was someone she didn't know, and she couldn't make out what they were saying. She could roughly see the words "father" and "treatment" on their lips, but nothing else.

Tears ran down her cheeks as she recognized the situation she was in. She tried to move and push the person off, but they held her tightly, bruising her wrists in the process.

Celeste wished in this exact moment that she could be a bird, flying freely with no worries. She wished she could leave everything behind and forget about her past.

Forget her father, and forget how he had been so kind to her, but so cruel to so many women. Women who did not deserve that.

Celeste was thrown to the ground, and she sat there thinking about how sick it was for her to still love her father. He may have raised her, but what he did was inexcusable. He had tortured so many, with no care. Celeste hated herself for loving him.

She hated herself for loving her mother too.

The only thing Celeste wanted at this point in life was one stress free night. One night where she would be able to stargaze and watch the moon, without worrying about how she'd get food, get to school, or make herself presentable.

She prayed on her lucky stars for relief from this constant pain she always felt.

Celeste pushed herself off of the ground and began to walk to her next class.
