Nyx twirls the boquet of flowers in her hand and she walks down a trail. It's the end of summer and she's nineteen. So much has happened since she's been at camp and she reflects on the past years, and inwardly cringing at her idioticness/angsty moments. A small smile drifts across her face though as she thinks to the recent days while walking.
Over the course of the last months she had been working on getting herself healthier and just better. She worked on her insomnia with the dionysus and hypnos kids and finally got to a point where nightmares were infrequent. She connected more with friends and made some new ones. She strengthened her family ties (feeling more closer with misty than ever). She didn't drink caffiene as much- well school assignments were the only exceptions she made.
She comes to a stop, physically and mentally when she spots her destination. Jayden's grave, the first boy she loved and her best friend. It's the third year since his death and she kneels to place the flowers over his grave.
"Hey Jayden," she says softly, wiping the dirt from the headstone. "I miss you like always."
"Yknow the caffiene addiction and insomnia that always pissed you off?"
she takes a breath
"Well I've been working on it. I wish I had listened to you and worked on it together but i was (i still am sometimes) a stubborn idiot. I think the past months showed how much i needed to work on myself and i started to try. I asked for help and so much has happened."
tears well up as she smiles.
"I think you'd be proud of me. I've never felt better. I wish you were here." she traces the headstone before leaning down to drop a kiss on it. "I miss you but I'm moving on.. slowly... but i'm getting there."
And for the first time in years, Nyx was finally... happy
