the small amount of alcohol in her system helped her to fall asleep shortly after she finished crying for the night.
anne snuck out of the room once kaia was completely asleep to call marylou downstairs.
matt didn't sleep for one second, he layed awake all night staring at the wall and trying to think of any possible way to get her back, to make her see things the way he did and that he doesn't think she's a bad person.
when kaia woke up in the morning, her mom wasn't in bed and she had gone downstairs to make breakfast.
she opened her phone, clicking on matt's contact and sitting in the chat trying to decide whether or not she should text him, it wasn't too late yet.
he had been on his phone already, looking at her contact and trying to decide the same thing. so when she entered the chat, the typing bubbles popped up even though she wasn't typing.
matt saw this, assuming she was ready to talk to him so he texted first.

kaia shuts her phone off, sobbing even harder into her mom's pillows. matt is currently numb and he is silently crying, he can't make his body have enough energy to even fully cry.
"breakfast!" kaia's mom shouts from downstairs.
she lays still in bed, clutching onto her necklace from matt. she cries so hard she's shaking, and yet she also can't move.
anne walks upstairs carrying willow in her arms, and opens her bedroom door to see kaia curled up in a ball.
"kai? why are you crying?" willow asks, climbing onto the bed with her sister.
"no reaaon, baby. i'm okay." she wipes her tears, turning her body towards willow.
"but your eyes are wet." she points to kaia's soaked eyelashes.
"go have breakfast with mommy, i'm okay, willy." kaia says.
"can matty come over? he always makes you not sad anymore." willow turns to her mom.
"no, sweetie. he can't today." her mom picks up willow.
"i'm sorry." anne mouths to kaia, carrying willow downstairs.
kaia tries to gain her composure, she manages to get out of her mom's bed and into her own room.
she shuts the door behind her, trying to silence the sound of her sobs with a hand over her mouth and she makes her way to her bed.
matt's hoodie was still laying on the corner of her bed, she let the tears fall as she puts the hoodie on. she could smell his cologne so distinctly, it's like he was still wearing it.
she asks herself if she's making a mistake, but truly believes that matt deserves better.
seeing james was a breaking point. she always swore to herself to never leave matt because she loved him so disgustingly much and didn't wanna see him in the condition he was in when they stopped talking and weren't even in love yet.
she thought that having a messy past with her exes and being as emotional and clingy as she was would drive him away, but he only wanted to be with her and didn't care about anything else.
kaia tucks herself into a ball, her entire body including her head covered by the blanket. she lays under it in darkness, opening her phone to look at her instagram. she sees all the posts with matt, all his comments on her posts, the posts on his account, and it pains her to see how in love they are. or, were.
she still has all the pictures of them in her camera roll, and she can't bring herself to change her wallpaper or delete the posts.
she hopes he won't be mad, but in the state she's in, she absolutely cannot delete the pictures with him off of her instagram. she keeps them up, assuming she'll eventually be strong enough to delete them.
she doesn't want to accept that it's over yet, though she's the one that left him. seeing him and texting him with how fragile he is right now absolutely breaks her heart, and she immediately regrets it.
she keeps telling herself that it's for the better and that if she really loves him, she'll let him be happy and find someone else without her.
if this is really the right thing to do, why does she feel like she's not even alive without him?
