SHE WAS breathing.

Curled up on a comfy stool in a corner of the library, far away from the hustle, she flipped through the pages of Never Let Me Go and tried to finish the last few chapters of the book.

It was Friday. She couldn't be more thrilled to go home and unwind after so many restless nights.

She tapped her foot to the beats and hummed the melody of The Goo Goo Dolls' Name in her earphones.

Did you lose yourself somewhere out there?
Did you get to be a star?

It was as though all of her worries were long gone.

It was the most relieved she had ever felt in a while.

The weight on her chest was finally lifted for her to breathe.

She was starting to feel like herself again.
