she stares at the ceiling of her room. it's filled with glow in the dark stars and planets. her dad was the one who put those there.
thinking about it, she might remove them sometime. she was having a hard time sleeping with light, anyway. she had gotten used to sleeping with complete darkness; glow in the dark stickers won't help. she remembers a quote her mom always said:
stars can't shine without darkness.
her mom always said that she was a star. as she got older she can't help but think that maybe she was never a star to begin with, just a random rock floating around in space; never meant to be of use.
rriiiiinnngggg
she sighs. "shut up, phone."
rriiiiiiinnnnggggg
"ugh," she got up, "cant you see i'm doing somethi- hello?"
"ms. park? please come to the hospital right now. we've tried contacting your father but-"
"oh my god" her heart stopped, " yes. yes, i will be there. just, fuck," she began wearing her shoes. "make sure she's still alive, okay?"
