Alex closed her door and slid down it, hugging her knees tightly. For the past few weeks, heck, even months, she just wanted someone to hug her tightly and let her let it all out. Nothing had every sounded so nice to her.

She was two months behind on rent for her shop. Not to mention, she had to worry about rent after she worried about feeding Blitz, Wesley, then Alfred till he found his own place. Then after the three of them came rent, then food for herself.

Her parents and brother had questioned why she had gotten noticeably skinner sense she got to England, but she just shrugs it off every time. Blitz and Wesley noticed too, sense they first befriended her a few months ago when she first arrived in London, but they didn't want to ask. But they were worried. And Sebastian and Ciel didn't come around enough to notice her odd changes in behavior and weight. Though, she did try to vent to them when they came, but they shrugged it off as her being over dramatic and annoying. At least that's what she thought.

She rolled up her sleeve, staring at her scarred pale wrist. She freaked out a bit last night and this was the outcome. Not even Blueberry knew. She hoped she could solve all of this soon.

But for now, she'd have to just wait in an overwhelming cloud of darkness.
