i woke up to the sound of my alarm going off. i guess i hadn't noticed i'd fallen asleep. i laid there for a while, debating on if i should get up of not.

but if i didn't my aunt would eventually come in and get me up.

i got out of bed and went to the bathroom making sure to not look in the mirror. i was hallucinating. seeing her, even though she's not alive, was too much for me right now.

i took a quick shower and put on my uniform. i then brushed my teeth and hesitantly looked up in the mirror.

no sign of her.

i then looked at my hair and noticed how frizzy it was. i decided to put it into a ponytail so it wouldn't look as nappy. it still looked untouched, but a little better than before.

i grabbed my things and headed downstairs to be greeted by my aunt making breakfast.

"hey. looks like i didn't have to get you up."

i silently went over and sat at the table.

a couple minutes later she brung over the food and set it on the table. i grabbed some and put it on my plate.

"thank you for the food", i said putting my hands together.

we began eating and she started to question me.

"you didn't come down for dinner yesterday, were you that tired?"

i nodded in response. i wanted to tell her about my hallucinations, but i didn't think it would do any good.

we sat there silently eating our food. my mind began to wander as i looked out the window.

and there i saw her.

standing there on the other side of the glass.

i was frozen.

'why'

'why are you doing this to me'

i snapped out of the trance when my aunt started shaking me.

"yo, are you okay?", she asked.

i looked back out the window and she was gone.

"what. what do you see, my aunt said looking out the window.

"nothing, i just....it's nothing."

she looked at me confused and opened her mouth to say something, but decided against it.

i checked the time and realized that school started in about 25 minutes. i decided to head out now since it was a bit of a walk.

i grabbed my bag and was about to head out the door when my aunt stopped me.

"don't you think you're forgetting something."

she held a bento in her hand and looked at me with soft eyes.

i went up to her and grabbed the bento out of her hands and stuffing it in my bag.

'i don't deserve this'

'i don't deserve this treatment'

i headed out the door and waved goodbye to my aunt.

"when do you think she'll com-", i heard as i stepped out the door.
