❤Melvin’s POV❤️
.
My gaze was in space, for how long I stood; I had no idea.. The tears couldn’t pour out anymore but every fiber of my being felt unusual and unwell..
I could only stare into space like it was the only thing I could do, like I found solace in it. I could, again, only delve into the few memories I had of mom, the few memories I had remembered through Kayla, I hadn’t seen her all day and it was honestly, the least of my worries.
The loneliness I felt, was what I needed at that moment. My legs ached and my parted l-ips were dry but I made no attempt to sooth either of them. The revelation lingered in my head, resounding a million times over and over again.. At a point, I’d find myself scre-ming out my lungs and at some, breaking into tears and then at some, staying quiet and get lost in staring at nothing.
The mood swings came concurrently. I suddenly fell, my legs not being able to bear the harsh treatment any longer, I tried standing up but I couldn’t as my legs wouldn’t succ-mb. I knew they needed rest but I wanted to be on my feet, staying that way and doing nothing, I felt dead and empty and I liked it. I tried forcing my legs, struggling effortlessly to awaken them but it yielded nothing..
I grumbled under my breath, my throat dehydrated. I wonder, since when I began feeling pain even with Kayla’s absence. Well, the fact that I didn’t transform to a beast meant that I was becoming human-like and that probably should be the reason for the pain.
I shut my eyes, taking in the pain.. I didn’t like it, didn’t like that I was feeling pain, didn’t like that I felt alive..
I knew I was slowly dying, a part of me was lifeless already but somehow, I didn’t want the other part. As I opened my eyes, my palm grazed my pocket side and I felt it, I dipped my hand into it and fetched out the Luvi, I stared at it for a brief moment and unconsciously, I opened the small locket. The pins were bright under the moon and without a thought, I took one of them, the Luvi fell from my palm and I stared at the pin, I let no other thought get into my head for fear of not doing what I was about to agree was right..
I held the pin and brought my thumb out, I held the tip over it and sunk it into it. I felt the slight pain from the poke. I waited, expecting more but that was it, I stared at the s₱0t, a thin blood had popped up from the mouth.
I dropped it down, disappointedly and just as I did, I felt a striking pain and before I could wince; I fell to the floor and darkness overwhelmed me next.

-Kayla’s POV-
.
The next morning happened to be weekend and mom was home all morning, I tried talking to her but she only let out few words and focus back on whatever she was doing on her study table.
I had doubt that she’d be leaving the house anytime soon.
I walked back to the living room, finding nothing to do, I found my way to the kitchen.
I glanced around and suddenly thought of something, I quickly began brewing coffee. Leaving it to brew, I grabbed a pack of cookie, tearing it opened, I emptied on a saucer. I took the coffee, took out the leaves, added lots of milk and a bit of sugar. I carried both to mom’s room, she was up from her study room and bent over her drawer, taking out stuffs from it.
She gave me a quick look and looked away.
“I brought you some snacks to have as work” I told her and she looked back at me then at the stuffs in my hand.
“That’s thoughtful of you, you may leave it there” she nudged her head toward the table and continued going through her drawer.
I walked to the table and tried shifting a book aside to create space for the saucer; when it fell and opened, I left the saucer and bent to pick the book when I saw a paper that had fallen from it on the floor.
I reached for it and picked it up but something caught my attention almost immediately, I perused through it and my eyes dilated in shock..
“Thank you-” mom’s voice trailed off and she immediately I felt the paper being snatched from my hand, I gave her a gobsmacked look and she gave me a slight frown..
“You and dad were getting a divorce!” I asked, my brows furrowed.
