I wake up and start to think that everything yesterday was a dream. But the slight headache and necklace assures me that things are going to get better.

I open the door with a quiet creak and witness this pristine room. I'm always blown away by how empty this place is. Aside from dolls, a bed, and work-related materials there’s nothing in here.
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7oxpPn6zq
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhhCHQxhTsV
But I have to admit, I bet it’s easier to clean and keep this spotless. And there in the corner desk is Alyson setting her head down on some study papers.

I wait until Alyson leaves so I can get ready for dinner. I go to the bathroom, wash my face twice, and my hands until I can’t feel anything.

I won’t have to look at this face much longer. I turn away from this old me and face an uncertain future.

I go downstairs where mom and Alyson are waiting. I sit down and begin eating. It’s been so long since we ate together but I can’t fully get into it.
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadxyHcVDxz
287Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA9P6107exI
The food doesn’t taste as good as it should and I can’t look at mom. Mom…she looked so happy to be together for once. But now I can’t enjoy the smile that drew out mine.

No, just like with the bullies I refuse to add stress to her. I’ll handle this alone. But maybe one small question won’t hurt.
