Luz smiled, but it didn't quite reach her eyes. Her heart panged. She scrolled back up to get one more look at the picture of Amity. She caught a hiccup in her throat, but forced it back down. She read on.

Luz chuckled at the memory. She panicked for a solid five minutes before she could even find the nerve to text Amity back.

The girl sighed, resting her chin in her hand. She scrolled down a lot further.

Luz cringed a little at the first stage talk, but it still warmed her heart. It couldn't heal the cold, empty space that Amity used to fill, though.

She scrolled more. She knew specifically where she wanted to go.

That was the last text between the two. Amity died about a week after that. Luz turned off her phone and looked back up at the class, feelings of anxiety washing over her. Her heart ached and her throat felt like it was closing. She sucked in a shaky breath, looking down at her lap. Just as she closed her eyes to let the tears fall, the bell rang.

She immediately slung her bag over her shoulder and exited the school as quick as she could, audibly sobbing at this point. Her breathing was rapid, and it felt like the world around her was swirling into guilt. She made it just off the school property when her legs couldn't carry her anymore, she collapsed with her back against a tree. Her knees pulled to her chest, and she cried.

She cried like Amity had died all over again. She cried like she was staring at her body in a casket again. She cried like she was in a bathroom stall, having to live without her reason. She cried until she physically couldn't anymore, and maybe she felt okay. She felt lighter, but her heart felt heavier. She sat in front of the tree and stared out into the woods ahead of her. Her gaze softened, and she let out a breath.

She was angry. She was heartbroken, and sad, and angry. She banged her head against the tree before standing up, choking out another sob, and walking off toward the cemetery.
