It's my last year in high school,
And I'm going to enjoy it instead of stressing over it again.

School doesn't start until five more days so I guess I still have a little more time to relax.

My mom looked at me with a confused expression on her face,
"What's wrong? Are you stressed because of school?" She asked worriedly and came over to sit down

"No- well yes. But it's nothing it'll wear off, I promise." I nervously assured her

She fixed her posture and looked at me with a serious look on her face, she cleared her throat and looked straight into my eyes.

I nervously fixed the way I was sitting and sat both my hands on my thighs

She sighed before speaking,
"Don't worry about school, please. I'm sure you'll do just fine,"

She reached her hand out to pat my hair and smiled, "You look like you haven't slept sunny. Please take care of yourself and don't let things get to you."

I opened my mouth to defend myself but I just paused for a moment.
It was true, I haven't really gotten much sleep in the past few days.

"-I will take care of myself mom. And i'll try and get more sleep."

"Thank you." I added as I gave her a warm smile.

"'

After she left I quickly went upstairs to freshen up and take a warm bath.

It wasn't usually like this,
She wasn't here usually either.
But she did visit often to make sure I'm taking care of myself.

This was my father's house,
I inherited it when he died. And lived here the past two years,

I used to live with my mother since she and my father were divorced.
But I also visit here often.

I winced slightly when I put my foot on the water, too hot.
I turned the water on the cold side and let it run for a couple of seconds before checking again.
Satisfied with the temperature,
I went and relaxed in the bath tub and almost fell asleep there.

Hopefully this will help me sleep.

But alas, it didn't.

When I got out of the bath tub and wore my pajamas, I just laid down at the bed and tried to close my eyes and think of nothing. I stayed like that for  an hour or more before opening my eyes again.

I made a displeased noise and shifted to my right shoulder. I turned and turned until I lost count and just finally stared at the ceiling.

I stared at the window but it was still dark, but the moon looked lovely.

The stars decorated around it just made it even more breath taking. I was used to this, staring outside and not sleeping until I got insane.

All of the sudden I felt a buzz on my night stand, it was my phone. All of my other apps were on mute except my messages.. but I deleted all of my contacts and bought a new number this morning, What's going on?

I looked at the notification bar
Thinking it was just an update notification but instead it was not.
