The next day was a torture ,she didn't even stand being up for more than 15 seconds ,she was exhausted both mentally and physically and she was feeling no less than a true zombie at the moment ,she was suffering from a severe mental trauma that resulted in a disturbing sleep deprivation ,she couldn't sleep seeing the scared faces of her own family members,the terrified expressions of the other people ,their last moments before death stole them from her in the blink of an eye ,she couldn't just shake the feeling of missing them so freaking much already ,to say she longed for just a second with them again was an understatement , she couldn't eat ,she couldn't drink even though her body burned with the growing unbearable need for water,something was blocking her will to live but she wasn't in anyway fighting it after all the debates she had with herself

it's true that she wanted to be strong again but it was easier said than done ,she probably shouldn't be here ,she believed more than anyone that she should be with them ,you would think she was lucky to live while they didn't and this is not what they would've wanted her to do ,but which luck did suddenly struck when her family's bodies were laid lifless in front of her eyes after a terrorist attack ? which weapon was it the one that killed her but kept her living and roaming in a drak space with no way out ? wasn't it just better to die ?

she sickly envied her family ,they were the five of them together probably at heaven laughing and enjoying themselves, god bless them they were the kindest of souls that ever existed on earth, and she put her full bet that the sky cried out of joy the previous day because it would finally have them

but that wasn't the case for her, she was utterly confused and lost ,her feelings were all over the place ,she couldn't make her own mind on what to do ,one second she wanted to make them proud and be strong, the other she simply wanted to give up and rest

a tear made its way down her cheeks reaching her mouth afterwards ,she licked her lips and winced at the contact ,of course they would hurt,they were as dry as the desert ,she didn't need to give a reason as to why they were in that pathetic state giving that she drank no water for the past 48 hours

she was now left alone after a storm of yelling happened in the same room that she woke up in the first time ,she tried to sleep in it after she received all the nice words that did nothing to ease her hurt from her siblings ,but couldn't do that at all as a huge headache invaded her being and set off her screams with no intention of stopping

as if prepared to do so the woman with the puffy eyes called rihem she figured rushed in again to see what was wrong ,she gasped in pain and surprise the moment she saw her ,she wouldn't have blamed her ,she wanted to die so badly and so selfishly and she bets her appearance just gave it away without trying

the poor woman attempted to caress her hair to comfort her but she turned her head the opposite way ,touching her right now felt like putting a gun to every little pore of her skin and pulling the trigger numerous times

rihem held her tears and put her hand over her mouth probably to hold down the painful sounds she attempted to shed but had second thoughts about it , then she called the same guy named 'ali' from earlier in a painfully hushed quite voice ,and he came almost in a flash,they whispered somethings between them then she felt the bed creak beside her ,earlier this day she got to remember every single one of them and she remembered where she was ,she was at her aunt's house ,this exact house was her favorite when she was little ,she used to come here and play without a single worry in the world and on top of that she would get spoiled just the way she wanted to ,she would get anything she wanted just the way ahe wanted
