In My Darkest Hours

Chapter 3:

I woke up leaning against the wall, sitting cross-legged. My laptop was next to me, half closed. It bright light filtered in through the window, past the curtains that I had forgotten to close. Dazed, I stood up, letting my eyes wander around around the room before landing on the object that was around my wrist. Memories from last night flooded my mind, bringing a small smile to my face. Katz always knew how to make me smile and laugh. He truly was an amazing friend. 

A soft knock sounded from the other side of the room, "Mija, it's almost noon, you need to get out of bed." My mom said, opening the door, only to stop when she realized I wasn't laying in my bed, "Huh? Aphmau your... your actually awake, did you have a nightmare again?"

"No Mom, I'm just... Sorta feel... I don't know, lighter, I guess, does that sound weird?" I mumbled, looking towards the window.

"Mija... Aph, it is perfectly normal to feel that way after grieving for as long as you have." 

"Has it really been a long time?"

"Almost three months, Mija."

"Wow..."

"You know, Kim is here to check on you, do you feel like coming downstairs or should I send her up?"

"I... I'll come down I guess." My mother waited for me by the door until I got there, then helped me walk down stairs where lunch was and Kim was waiting. I sat down at the table next to the bubbly brunette and picked up the sandwich my mom had made.

"Hey Aph," Kim said awkwardly, "How have you been feeling?"
"Really is that the best you could come up with?" 
"Oh shut it Ghost, like you could do any better..... That's what I thought!"

A small giggle escaped my lips, Kim and Mom stared at me as if I had grown an extra limb, "I've been doing a bit better!"

"Are you certain you're feeling alright?" My Mother asked, placing a hand on my forehead, "Your a bit warm." She said frowning.

"Trust me I am fine."

Just then the doorbell rang.

A/N So I had to rewatch parts of Aphmau's Year so that I could correctly write the interactions, but... I don't think I got them right, this was also written before chapter 2 so ya. Also guess who is at the door.
