          It's been a couple of weeks since my mom past I haven't left my bed. I barley eat, I don't even shower I haven't answered any facetime calls or text messages. My cousin and boyfriend left to go back to Cleveland two days after the funeral. I haven't seen my dad since that day either, I hear doors being slammed, I even hear him crying downstairs but I don't see him. Lee comes and goes she brings us food keeps me updated on what been going on but recently I haven't seen her. I don't blame her for not being here I wouldn't look at her nor speak to her when she came by. I just stare out my window in my room all day listening to the same songs over and over.

           I don't even cry anymore, I want to cry but I can't. I think I've used up all my tears. I watched as my phone lights up with a text message from Rook. I just stared at it until I seen my screen light up now rook was calling me. I sighed and just closed my eyes waiting for it to be over once my phone stops vibrating I open my eyes again. I pulled the blanket over my head and bring my knees to my chest as I sigh. I stay like this just for a moment before tracing the patterns on my bed sheets. My phone lights up again a message from my cousin then another phone call came in I covered my ears and closed my eyes tightly as I slowly fall asleep.

Leaha P.O.V

             I was in my room looking at old pictures causing me to cry. I felt so unhelpful I had no clue how to get my best friend to get back to at least taking care of herself. Her dad worried about her but he doesn't stop working long enough to check on her. Kelly hasn't been answering since he took time away from social media and just working on his music. I don't have Rook number so I can't get a hold of him. My phone lights up with a facetime request from Kellz I wipped my tears away the best I can and answer it.

Face Time call

Bestie Boy: "Hey beautiful ... Wait have you been crying" he said siting the phone down.

Me: "Yeah" I sigh moving to my window sit "She not doing good at all Kelly, she been in the same position in her bed for a couple of weeks. They both barely eat, your uncle never stops working, and your cousin hasn't even taken a shower, she won't look at me, won't talk to me, won't even answer my calls or text." I say holding back tears.

Bestie Boy: He runs his hands down his face "I just didn't know it gotten that bad. Does Rook know? or is she not responding to rook." he said his face full of worry.

Me: "Not that I know of" I looked down "Best what do we do?" I asked hugging myself.

Bestie Boy: "Honestly, I don't know, I need to talk to Rook then I'll get a hold of you after" he said

Me: "Okay bye" I said and gave a soft wave as he hung up.

Face Time Ends

           I decided to draw something it's been so long since I drew something. I brought out my art pad and art pencil that were in the back of my closet in a box. I put on some music and started drawing the tree outside of my window. I erase some markings that obviously didn't need to be there and then of course add some shadings. I can't believe I stopped drawing this was a big stress reliever something to always make me happy and I stopped because of a boy. The boy I dated and use to love with all my heart never wanted me drawing. I was knocked out of thoughts by my phone ringing.

Face Time start:

Bestie Boy: "Hey"

Me: "Hey"
