My eyes burn, light is getting in my room at 12 in the morning and I don’t know why…
I open my eyes, moving the blanket off of me.
‘Hello,’ Ella whispers
My hand comes up moving my hair out of my face,
‘HOLY, WHO ARE YOU?!’ I exclaimed, staring up at the ghostly looking girl.
‘I’m me, who are you?’
‘I’m, I’m Mars?’ I replied, I have no idea who this girl is.
Her eyes were a bright green yet everything else was faded, some colors faded to the point of being white, gray and black.
My eyes were wide and my hands shook,
How the hell is this girl in my room?!
Mental disorders and illnesses need to be taught to others!

We need to do something.
