/I'm all alone/
In the weeks after her mother's death and funeral, everything shifted in her everyday life. She drank more, slept more, trained till she bled, and did anything everything to take her mind off of the tragedy that had affected her in more ways than one. Currently, she lay in her bed one morning, the cold fall air seeping through the cracks, she's doing nothing but staring blankly at the ceiling
