Luz's p.o.v

I stood there in the park. leaves fell off the trees and landed by my feet. colors seemed dull and it felt like I was looking through a clouded lens. everything seemed hazy and dark and it felt like the world got colder. 

I could keep crying but what's the point. it'll just be time wasted. nothing will get better after so I shouldn't bother. ill just go home. I guess I should stop trying to be someone I'm not. I'm not someone worth liking, I'm not special. I'm, not a witch. I'm just ordinary.

But that's just life I guess. you'll always be disappointed. should I even go back? even after the portal is fixed can I even go back? should I just stop? I'm pretty sure it would be best for everyone. I don't really matter there. I don't really matter here. I don't matter. the sooner I realize this the better. I shouldn't be anywhere, I belong nowhere and I am no one. no one important.

I started to head home. cars passed by but their engines never roared. it feels like I somehow turned down the world. quiet, but not peaceful. it felt sort of empty, but I guess that's fine. I guess that's all ok. I walked up to my house and stopped.

fire. my house was on fire. I saw the flames wrap around the building and I saw fire trucks coming down the streets. "wheres my mom?" I asked. "where is she?!". I looked around but couldn't find her anywhere. "your mom, couldn't escape, sorry kid".
