"The moon will guide you through the night with her brightness, but she will always dwell in the darkness, in order to be seen." - Shannon L. Alder Life is hard when you feel like the whole world is against you. Over time it makes you anxious and depressed. You soon start to feel like those demons have eclipsed over all the happiness in your life. It feels like nighttime all the time, but not the beautiful nighttime where the stars light up the sky and the moon is shining through your window making it look like a magical paradise. No it's the nighttime where you can't see anything, no beautiful light shining, no magical paradise. It's the one where you cover up your entire body because you see monsters in the shadows of your room. The one where you're apprehensive because of the fear of something bad happening to you. It's the one where all the demons come out to play. I was supposed to be named after the beautiful type of night. More specifically the moon. My mom said she named me that because I shined bright in the darkness through all her times when she had me. If only she knew that wouldn't be a great name for me in the future. *TRIGGER WARNING: MENTIONS OF DRUG ADDICTION, SEXUAL ASSAULT, AND ABUSE*

When life gets out of hand, plans change and her past comes to get her. Will she be able to keep up her facade? Or will she let her hidden, true self come to the surface? Will she be able to keep all the promises she ever made; or will she break them, one, by one? What if friendship turns into more, even though she's trying so hard to fight it. And what happens, when the demons in Emily's head take over and she loses control over everything around her? When her heart tells her to keep fighting but her mind won't. Who will be able to save her from her darkness? --- Trigger Warning --- "It's not your fault, Sweetheart. I made my decision. You couldn't have changed it." She stands in front of me. Her eyes are bloodshot red as usual. Her lips blue and her face pale, the sling around her throat. "I want you back. I miss you so much." I cry and she pulls me into a hug. I breathe in her scent. She's ice cold and I can't make out a heartbeat. "I know you do. I love you so much, keep that in your mind, my love." My grip around her tightens and I bury my face in her chest. "Please don't let go." I sob as her grip around me becomes loose. "No mom. Stay!" Her arms fall down at my sides and she starts vanishing in my arms. "No! Mommy! Come back! I need you!" I fall onto my knees and start shaking. I sit up straight in my bed. Meeting mom's eyes in the picture on my nightstand. "Fuck." I whisper, wiping away the tears under my eyes. My head pounds and I'm still shaking a little.
