my dear romeo,

exactly a month. that's how long it has been. i've relapsed. you know how i told you that i had depression? well it's come back. maybe it was never really gone, and you were just keeping it at bay.

it hurts to breathe, leo. there's this weight on my chest and shoulders and i can't bring myself to talk to anyone. not even piper. i have no motivation to do anything. chiron has stopped making me participate in activities, he knows I can't handle it.

nico (and will. i think they're dating now) is the only one that visits me. apparently when anyone does it just makes them feel worse. how nice.

i think nico understands. he lost his sister, i lost my best friend. sometimes he tells me stories, to try and take my mind off things. and other times he just holds my hand and we sit in silence, silently mourning. that's all I do. mourn.

if you were here you'd laugh at me and tell me to snap out of it. that you weren't giving up my life and happiness for. but you were my life, leo. you were my happiness.

i don't think i can do this much longer. i don't even know what to say without sounding like a broken record, but i miss you leo. I'll never stop missing you.

love, your juliet
