Kaya's POV

Not seeing Chris at school made Kaya go insane. He always reminded her of someone and not being able to see him was not doing her any good.

It was like a part of her felt empty when he was not around to assure her that he is alive. 

So every day, she went to the bookstore where he worked. She would see him, try to talk to him, get ignored and leave. She did it every day until one day, she noticed his scars. She noticed his blood dripping wrists he was desperately trying to cover and she couldn't bear seeing it.

She was angry that he was doing this. She was angry that he wanted to end the misery and not fight it.

Every heart has a pain. But the way people express it is different. And she expressed it by cutting herself. The same way he did.

She couldn't bear seeing herself in him. She used to do it before, cut her wrists till she felt drowsy, but soon, a ray of light pierced through her dark surroundings, providing enough gap to escape. The ray of light came in the form of Matt. Her late boyfriend. He was her light, and now, she wants to be the light to break through Chris's darkness. She wants to be his light.

Chris has the same eyes as Matt. Those same black eyes. The only difference, Matt's used to shine with joy and Chris's looks lifeless. But she wants to add life to it. She wants to see Matt in him. She couldn't save Matt before, but she can save Chris now. She has a chance and she'll take it at any cost.

But even she knew, that sometimes, you can't save someone from themselves.
