One more day...
One more day till my birthday.
I honestly don't know what to do.
I can't stop thinking about him.
I can't get out of bed.
I can't eat.
I can't breathe.
Hopper is scared.
Joyce and Will too.
It's been 3 years since my twin was shot and taken.
It's been 3 years since I had an Ellie hug.
3 years since we did our handshake.
3 years since I last laughed with him.
3 years since I sang with him so horribly papa yelled at us and sent us off.
3 years since Ellie died.
My birthday, our birthday...has never been the same.
You could say we have a routine.
Every year, I stay in my room for three days, the day before, the day, and the day after.
Then, the fourth day I act like everything is ok.
And the fifth, we are back on track.
Not this year.
No, I refuse to let this hold me back.
This year, I will not stay in bed and cry, and blame myself.
I will skip school, and me and Max will plan the day.
I will have a birthday party, and I will have fun.
I wipe away my tears and go to my closet grabbing a cute outfit.

I quickly get ready and text Max to pic me up as I dress up.
She texts that she'll be here in 5 so I should eat, which I decide to force myself to do.
I walk down stairs and greet Hop, Will and Joyce as normal.
They look at me shocked and very concerned.
"What?" I ask.
"Your...your going out? Today?" Joyce asks after a pause.
"Yea, Hop said I could skip school today..." I say grabbing an apple.
"I mean-, yes have fun." Joyce covers up smiling
"Ok?" I say, Max honks her car and I go out
~End of day~
We did a lot today.
I'm proud of myself, I didn't break down crying.
At all, I did get a few memories...but I did just fine otherwise.
Max and I managed to get a theme and do our nails for my party.
We decided on black and white with gold accents in the decorations.
We did our nails matching that theme.

Max's nails
Max went a little off topic but her nails are cute.
I am so proud of myself for getting out.
I ate a whole sandwich.
That probably doesnt seem like much but it's progress.
I say my goodnights and head to bed...
For the nightmares...
a/n: I hope your having a gorgeous day. Whats your favorite food? Mine is Lasagna.
XOXO,
Belle
