The music fills my room once again and I scribble all kinds of sentences on my paper. I don't bother looking around my room because it is a mess. It is a good sign because that means I am writing music again.

My room is always a mess when I am writing because I just don't care about anything else. The only reason why I am eating is because of Arden bringing me food. She knows that when I have a creativity boost that she better lets me do my own thing.

Willow isn't the biggest fan of those episodes because she is scared that I might think too much of my past. She is scared that my depression will come back and that I sink back into that deep dark hole. But not right now.

All the songs I have been writing are not about my sister's accident. I don't think about that night at the moment but I think about the nights before that. The nights I spend with Austin and how my crush developed on him over time.

He probably doesn't realize it but he is the reason I know what feelings are. I never felt anything for someone until I met him. All the relationships I had before and after him were not compared to what I felt for him.

No one has ever made me feel like a kid having her first crush on someone. It is a weird but oh-so-good feeling.

Summer nights on your rooftop

Talking about nothing important

It was everything that I wanted

I sing those three lines over and over again until I find the right way to sing it. I don't want it to sound weird. And I am good when it comes to the guitar but not as good as Illias. He is a legend.

I just have to sing one word and he already knows what beat I need. He has the right ears for it.

We were just two kids

Too young to know about love

But oh, we are both in love

My fingertips are moving on my guitar while I can hear Willow and Arden watching tv in the other room. They are not going to be able to sleep when I play.

And I love them for not telling me to stop. They are just going to watch their series together and go to bed at midnight. Because that is the time that I have to stop otherwise we have to look for another apartment.

"Lia, come out of your room and eat something with us." Willow doesn't bother knocking on my door because she knows I will get lost again in my own thoughts. She has to pull me out of my room so I am going to eat something.

"Is that a new song you are writing?" She looks at all the papers around my room. Probably scared of what might happen to me. "Yeah, but no need to worry. It is actually a happier song."

She doesn't believe me. I can tell that. "I am just scared of what might happen, Lia. We both know that this is the first sign of you falling back into that black hole."
