Opal's POV
Three weeks after.
I used to be scared of bugs.
Now there's one on the wall next to my bed and I do not even flinch.
I am incapable of feeling anything except the pain.
I wake up but I do not stand up. It was a Saturday, I had nothing important to do. No school, no work.
I dropped out of university, the last class I went to was seven months ago.
The day that I met Hades.
Now I work in the first place that took me, Starbucks. And I live a monotonous life. Always the same thing every single day.
Wake up.
Work.
Home.
Eat.
Cry.
Spend hours on my phone.
Cry.
Pretend
Call my family.
Back to "normal"
Phone
Phone
Phone
Headache
Sleep.
Repeat.
Repeat
REPEAT.
When I am not crying I am just numb. No feelings other than sadness. No, not sadness. Something more powerful, heartbreak, maybe? The only two things that my heart (or what is left of it) knows is grief and... heartbreak, apparently.
I should see a therapist. But how am I supposed to explain that the god of the underworld brought my mother back from the dead, forced me to live with him and that after that, somehow, after losing my mother again, my hatred for him miraculously transformed into love (or another version of it, since I am not sure if I am capable of feeling anything all at this point.) and after that he simply told me to leave and now I live in an apartment that is falling apart, I lost my scholarship and now I am never going to be able to pay for university and pursue the career I want, I have no way of paying for my rent (that Hades used to pay during the time I stayed in the palace), and I must be broken because I have no idea of who I am.
And that was something that I always knew.
I lost everything that made me who I was.
I lost my education.
I lost my family.
I lost my happiness.
I lost my will to live.
I lost my passion for reading.
That was everything I had
That was something that made me who I was
And even that is gone.
I am alone and I think that it is my own fault, I don't have any friends. I am going to die alone.
Alone.
Alone.
Alone.
Without Hades.
Without mom.
The only things that are keeping me company are the pile of unread books next to me, the pile of dishes in the sink and the loneliness. I do not know when the last time I ate was. I lost my appetite.
I
am
rotting
from
the
inside
someone
kill
me
before
I
do
it
myself.
