One day her beloved aunt knew the disease had come back, the girl was in a terrible state. But even so, the aunt was still smiling and showed everyone that she wouldn't give up. The disease was getting worse and she began to realize she was going back to her parents who were in heaven waiting for her. The girl started to lose her shine and she couldn't visit her aunt in the hospital because she was afraid to see her so badly. Until one day the aunt asked the girl to go visit her. The mother came home and told her the request of her beloved aunt the girl felt so happy and for a moment forgot what was happening. She came to the hospital and her whole colorful world became black and white, see her beautiful aunt transformed into a being of skin and bone, shocked the girl leaving her in a state of astonishment.

September 28th, 14 days after the girl's birthday, the mother told her that her aunt went back to her parents, the girl soon thought she would not see her anymore. Instead of black and white, her world was only black, nothing else made sense, the smiling girl became a depressing girl. Her smile hid her dark side, the girl stopped being the way she was, one day she even said to her mom: «life asked to death: "why do people love me, but they hate you?", death replied:"because you are a beautiful lie and I am a painful truth" .The girl began to hate the brightness, she and the darkness began to fraternize and the darkness told the girl not to move or prove herself. She hated feeling like that, the days were dark when she wasn't around. For her there was no life, all this was a question of survival because no matter how good and wonderful her aunt was, she died in suffering. 

Now the fifteen years old girl, sees life differently than anyone else and she doesn't want to know more about her dreams. Because every time she goes to sleep she dreams of her wonderful aunt, and she wishes that someone came to save her 'cause she was standing over the edge and she was afraid of being a lost girl. Increasingly she thought about how she would disappoint the most important person in her life and she was so sorry that she couldn't be happy every time she remembered her aunt. The depressing girl missed her aunt so much that she was afraid. She was always ask herself if those feelings were going away and when would It change.

But then she was tired of trying to escape the world she lived in and she started learning to love herself in her darkness, because stars can not shine without darkness. Now she just sit in silence, listening to her music and begins to accept what she is.
