Its hard, really hard!

"Oh God! Cant believe we slept off!" Lunn awakens to Aunty's commanding voice.

"Martha, come on lunch is ready and am pretty sure you are hungry! Otherwise Aunty is gona be mad at me for not keeping my promise!" Lunn tries to wake Martha up.

"Wat promise?" Martha rumbles half awake. Nothing big actually.  Its just that she is so worried about you going without food one of these days so i promised her that i will make sure you eat today". Lunn tells her shrugging.

"Oh, poor Aunty, she must be frustrated and sometimes i really cant control my actions! Its hard, really hard for me and It kills me to not be able to stop but when times like this come i cant help it as well. Come here you!" Martha pulls Lunn into a warm felt hug which takes longer than necessary and totally surprises Lunn. You dont know how much i needed that hug! She continues. And hey, am so glad you are here Lunn. Thanks and am so sorry for shutting you off lately.

So just give me aminute to wash up my face a little because am pretty sure i can pass for a zombie like in that wierd movie! What was it called again?" Martha absently asks Lunn as she washes her face in her bathroom sink connected to her room.

"You mean the one which we watched when we were like 7 during a sleepover at your house and we freaked out? Lol i cant remember its name either but jeeez it was freaky! It still gives me goosebumps!" Lunn makes a scared face.

"Come on down girls! I dont wana warm up the food for you two!" Aunty calls from the dining room. Lunn replies with a not so audible "we're coming". The girls head down the stairs only to meet up with the starstruck Aunty smiling. They exchange wierd glances and they both smile. She was always happy to be able to see Martha in these jovial moods! Martha mouthes a silent sorry to Aunty has they all join the rest of the family on the dining table where they all dig into there food with smiling faces.

Martha always had this effect on everyone. Whenever she was sad, everyone else's moods in Aunty's house would be down. So now that she was a little bit ok they were all kinda happy as well. After the meal, Martha and Lunn thank Aunty and proceed to do the utensils ignoring Aunty's protests against it. Aunty was proud of Martha because she was always a good kid thats if she isnt ataken by her regular meltdowns.

After that the girls head back up into Martha's room to catch up after Aunty called Lunn aside and thanked her for being of great help. Now that Martha is in good moods, they have lots to share. Lunn goes on to tell her about her school where they both used to attend to now that Martha nolonger goes. She rumbles back and forth on how that popular girl with a wierd name teased this new girl with braces and so on. They both giggle and laugh along with what Lunn says given the fact that Martha has almost nothing much to share.

So far, this is how close to normal that Martha has actually been in the last last 2weeks. She was always an outgoing jolly girl and kinda known at her school before the tragedy and she cant help it...because she chooses to hold on to that day, that night because a big part of her is scared to let go, even when sge tries to pretend that everything is ok, she knows deep down that its not fyn and it will never be because she is so afraid of forgetting her only family which keeps the memories fresh.

Lunn knows that she has to grasp this moment as it lasts so she decides to sleep over for the night.
