JULY 17.
Summer was quiet.
There were no collisions of letters piling up on my desks, a beautiful smile on my face, and no noise from Mattheo or Tom.
There was nothing.
Everything was there but two people were missing from my life. It was crazy how one person could impact your life to such an extent, that you felt the most miserable without them.
Sometimes, when Tom would take Serena out, I'd lie on my bed and shed so many tears that my pillow would be drowning from the water exiting from my eyes.
I wept, and wept, wept, and kept bothering myself with the same question.
Where did I go wrong?
I was no longer enraged at Axel, for what he did. However, I was filled with sorrow and grief that didn't let me see a future without Axel. I wanted to marry him.
Every tear I cried in the name of Jalen, would be a debt against him.

AUGUST 17
"You know last summer I felt like my home was a zoo; and Tom, Mattheo and you were the animals." Serena began placing herself beside me.
"Now, it feels like I live with ghosts.." Serena continued. "Do you think Mattheo will ever return?" her eyes slowly watered with agitated tears.
If Mattheo was my first friend, then he too was Serena's favorite brother.
I had never been close with Serena, perhaps it was because of the two-year aged gap where I felt as though she was a bit too young to know the burdens in my life.
Without Axel, there was peace in my life.
No ignoring, no yelling, no anything.
However, I dangerously felt alone without him, I didn't have anyone to share my problems with either. After Mattheo, Tom had spent day and night working and providing.
"I guess it's peaceful now," I stated, leaning my head against the pillow behind me.
"At what cost?" She answered. "I'm sorry about your break up" Serena quickly changed the topic.
I guess you could call it a breakup after all.
"It's fine..."
"I can understand your pain, I felt what you felt when my girlfriend broke up with me." She confessed, her eyes meeting mine.
"Girlfriend?"
"Mhm.."
"What if Tom finds out?"
"He said I can't date boys, but he never said anything about girls.." she chuckled at her own response.
"You're full of surprises."
That would be the start of a blossoming friendship.

JUNE 27 1998.
My last year of Hogwarts had gone by in a blink but with success. I didn't feel as abandoned as I thought I would.
I had crossed all five stages of grief and had actually recovered from my intense breakup.
