Luan was alone in her room. Everyone was either downstairs fighting over the tv remote or eating dinner. But Luan decided to just save her food for later. She was laying on her back staring at Luna's bed which was the bunk bed on top of hers. She felt so alone. It wasn't that she was literally alone in her shared room but mentally alone. She has been struggling with bouts of depression and anxiety for the past year. Between her best friend moving away and losing contact, to being picked on at school, or just not liking herself as a person. Luan cried herself to sleep for the past month. She felt that no one cared one bit about how she felt. She feels so worthless. She tried to be happy and tell jokes and play pranks but no one even liked them
Luan started to cry.
She started to think about all the bad things people said like calling her ugly for her braces or outfit choices
"God I'm so worthless" she yelled while roughly throwing her face into her pillow. "I hate myself so much, why can't I be like everyone else" she sobbed. She cried for a good 15 minutes. Then she become so emotionless. The tears stopped flowing. She stared at the wall for a while before getting up from her bed and waking to her vanity. She opened the container that was at the bottom. She was so ran by her emotionless self that she wasn't registering at she was doing. She pulled out a razor from the container.
Then she begin to cut her wrist.
"Nobody cares about I feel... I hope they are so proud of themselves right now"
There was no word in the English dictionary that can describe the pain she was feeling now. She was at such a low point. She started to cry some more.
She did cry more.
She decided to stop and she put the razor back away where not even Luna could find it. She went into her bed and went to sleep since she had school the next day.
She woke up at 6:00am to get ready for school. Luna was awake too. They were getting dress and Luna noticed Luan looking a bit sad.
"Hey you okay dude?"
"Yea I'm just a bit tired still" Luan fibbed
"Dude I'm so glad it's Friday"
"Don't you have a gig tonight" Luan asked
"Yea I'm so excited it's my biggest one yet!" Luna said excitedly
They both started to make there way downstairs and into the car. Lori was driving so the high schoolers would be last . They finally pulled up to the high school. Lori, Leni, Luna, and Luan all started walking to the hallway.
"Ok bye you guys" Lori said as her and Leni walked over to their friend group
Luan was looking down she was still feeling depressed but she wanted to hide it
"You ok girl" Luna asked worryingly.
"Yea yea I'm ok" it took everything of Luan to lie about being ok she really wasn't "You been looking upset this whole morning even the car ride...do you want to talk about it" Luna asked "No I'm fine I'm just sleepy that all" Luna knew there was something wrong with her sister she just didn't want to annoy her with questions. "Hey you can hang out me and my friends if you want" She knew Luan didn't have very many friends. "Thank you" Luan said. She didn't know many of Luna's friends, she just knew Sam, Kate, and Brent good thing their were already at school and standing by Luna's locker. Luna and Luan started to walk towards them.
"Hey Luna Hey Luan" Sam said happily.
" Hey dudes" Luna said. Luan nodded back. The group begin discussing typical high school things until the bell rung to go to class.
