Rai's POV

Have you ever felt like you've failed in every aspect of life? I mean contrary to how I was doing in my activities the past few days, I sucked at everything.

I was missing way too many shots in tennis and I was worried about  playing the upcoming game. Really bad because that's where I got to let out all my pent up frustrations.

Archery was a nightmare and it was not helping that I had a competition in a few weeks.

I was constantly feeling anxious about the upcoming examinations which I could not really revise for because I just realized that I was not over the break-up.

That prince had taken my little heart and shattered it into pieces. If I could just put my hands around his pretty neck and strangle it, I would feel awesome.

"Estrella you can't keep doing that." My tennis coach said with frustration for the hundredth time.

"I'm sorry, I just..." I trailed off and just broke down crying. I was a mess. My throat was burning from the emotional pain that had taken over my body.

"Dear I think you should sit this one out until you are okay." She said taking a seat next to me and patting my back.

"Great, now you're benching me from the upcoming game too!" I practically shouted and just stormed out of the court. I could feel my body shaking, my heart palpitating. Every step I took become heavier.

RAI'S POV

"Hey Rai, wake up or you'll be late." Lex said pulling my comforter from me.

I tossed and pulled it over my head.
"I'm not feeling too well, I think I'll stay in today." I said and just like that, I earned myself a free day.

I spent the rest of the day watching pointless tv and crying on the couch. I reminiced past memories. Smiling but tears coming out at the same time.

I had this feeling that my future was bleak. I felt like I was in a situation and I could do absolutely nothing about it. I think I ran out of tears and I fell asleep.

Food was not even in my vocabulary. My hair was a mess, not brushed in days. I was not taking care of myself as I should.

I had hit rock bottom and no one knew about it. I felt trapped, helpless and hopeless.

I skipped classes for the next few days. I wasn't really sick but I faked it. I just didn't feel like going out into the world anytime soon.

That night I decided to go stargazing. I went to the bridge where Liam and I would go. The stars were out and their reflection on the water below was magnificent.

I missed my dad so I talked to him through the stars.

I started hitting the bridge rail with all my might. I was angry and hurt. Life had become something else.

"Hey," I had a voice from behind me. I didn't even have to turn around because I knew who it belonged to.

"Go away!" I shouted my fingers balling into a fist.
