I was alone for once. In my room. For my whole life - maybe even the rest of it.. I can't be left alone- Luna or Rick had to keep checking up on me..it was kinda their job..
But Rick passed away, so I had to move in with Luna..
I sometimes want to blame him.. But.. anywho, I can't be left alone.
That's my payment I guess for being a bit.. suicidal..
I'm taking medication now, Luna makes sure of that, though I've tried not taking it before.
When I say, I had to move in with Luna, well..
Keith, my older brother died, and mom left Rick, and then he.. .
He killed himself too.. which is why I sometimes refer to him as Rick, instead of dad..
Luna was my caretaker now, she was the only friend I had..
