After crying so hard for hours until my body physically couldn't anymore, I passed out on their bed.

Suddenly it's Sunday already. Evening.

Her pillow is wet and slimy. I'll wash it once I get better.

Now that the rage is completely gone, I'm left with despair.  Why is he still not home..?

Something's definitely up. I don't like this.

I rush out of the dark room, going into the hallway.

Staying inside what once was their safe space makes me feel sick.

"J-Jisung," I stutter, my throat on its last straw. Sore like never.

Nobody answers. Not like I expected someone to.

Looking around, I try hard to stop bawling like a damn baby. I rub my eyes until they start hurting and I lose my vision.

How unlucky.

It's been a while since I have eaten and that's because of the amount of grief I'm in.

No motivation.

Hell, I'm still in those not-so-fancy Friday clothes.

My body feels dirty. My hair is greasy and messy and all over the place.

Just like back then— during those brutal depressive episodes—shit, I don't want to feel like that ever again. Especially because of someone who shouldn't mean this much to me.

Talking about him, I realize there's a heavy thunderstorm outside. Probably why I woke up.

What a dumbass. Now he's stuck outside, most likely dying of a heart attack.

And I'm even more of an idiot, because I start combing through the cramped closet, looking for some clothes to go out.

No, I won't look for him. He left on his own.

But I need to take some air. I need to refresh my lungs. My thoughts. My all.

As I look for my favourite hoodie ever that Jisung wore and stained a while ago, I realize it's nowhere. Same with some jeans I got him.

"You fucking bitch." I murmur and take out some random ripped clothes, going into the bathroom.

By taking a hot shower I freshen up, the steam turning off my mind as if on cue. Subsequently, I finally brush my teeth.

Hygiene is the most important, my mother used to say. I know that.

Depression, however, ruins everything. Ruins people. Ruins life. Ruins love.

Whatever. I need to get a grip on myself. Get used to the idea that he left me.

If he does come back though, I'll welcome him with open arms.
