Chapter 1

Luna's POVThe door slammed shut with a loud bang.Mom left the house, taking my sister, Stella Woodson, who was dressed up like a beautiful princess, with her. I bit my lips until they turned raw and bloody. However, I still wasn't able to suppress the twisting pain in my stomach. I thought about how Mom always used to tell me to drink warm water when I was feeling sick. Powering through the pain, I prepared some warm water for myself.It didn't take long for the water to warm up. I let out a gasp and immediately spat out a mouthful of blood after taking just a small sip. My blood stained the rabbit carpet in front of Stella's door. I hastily fell to my knees and frantically tried to clean it.Last week, I accidentally tripped over a chair while carrying the dishes out of the kitchen. A few drops of oil splashed out of the plate and splattered across the carpet in front of Stella's room.Stella immediately let out a shriek and darted forward to shove me to the floor.Stars exp

Chapter 2

Luna's POVI crawled to my feet and silently patted the dirt from my clothes. My eyes were stinging terribly, but I did everything that I could to hold back my tears, not daring to let them fall.Mom once told me that I was incredibly irritating and looked hideous when I cried. She already had a hard time hearing my voice. I didn't want to give her the impression that I was an annoying crybaby.I only made it to school after walking for over an hour. When school ended, I stuck close behind Stella the whole time because I was scared Mom would leave me behind again.On the way home, Mom gently asked Stella how her day was in school. Eventually, Stella got bored of describing her day. She turned her head away and stopped responding to Mom.My eyes lit up. I carefully said, "My teacher praised me today, Mom. I also received a certificate for being a model student."But Mom's ears seemed to stop working again. My voice was the only one in the carIn the end, Stella snapped, "Shut up,

Chapter 3

Luna's POVI hesitated for a long time before slowly returning to my room while leaning against the wall.My room was converted from a small storage room. It was vastly different from Stella's room that got plenty of sunlight and lots of plants. I didn't have any windows in my room. I even had trouble turning around because of how cramped it was.I searched around in the dark for a long time before pulling out a wooden box from under the deepest part of the bed. I fondly ran my fingers across it for a long time before placing it on the bedside table. I then took out my diary and switched on the small night light that Stella had tossed out.I wrote a few sentences under the dim light. My body seemed to have reached its limit after I was done. Strangely, my stomach had stopped hurting.I touched my stomach, feeling a little pleased. I silently thanked Mom in my heart. As expected, Mom had been right. I just had to drink some warm water when I was feeling ill to feel better.Feeling

Chapter 4

Luna's POVMom had raised her phone, but it wasn't aimed at me. Instead, she was aiming it at Stella."You look so pretty, my dear Stella. Do another pose. That's right. It's no wonder you're my daughter," she said.A long time passed before I slowly floated behind Stella as Mom continued to shower her with praise. I tried a few times, but I couldn't bring myself to smile as wide as before. In the end, I just looked at the camera and held up a peace sign.Mom snapped the photo. Tears spilled down my face even though I was smiling. My voice sounded light even to my own ears as I mumbled, "This is still the first time that you're taking a photo of me, Mom."Unfortunately, although it was the only time that she had taken a photo of me, I didn't show up in the photo.I silently floated behind Mom and Stella, watching as they tried different games and rides that I hadn't seen before. The huge clock tower in the middle of the amusement park kept ticking. Finally, when the clock struck

Chapter 5

Luna's POVA long time passed before I finally processed Stella's words.Was that so? So, there was nothing wrong with Mom's hearing at all! It turned out that she could hear my voice and everything I said for all those years. It was just that, from her perspective, I wasn't just insignificant air to her after all!My nose stung as tears streamed down my face. However, I reflexively didn't make a sound even when I cried.I had grown used to staying silent whenever I cried for years. It was because Mom couldn't hear how upset I was, couldn't hear my explanations, and couldn't hear my careful pleading. Thus, she also couldn't hear my cries.I tilted my head back, wanting to force my tears back into my eyes. However, they still spilled from the corners of my eyes. I could vaguely see the clouds blocking the moon in the inky sky through my blurry vision.Meanwhile, back on the ground, Mom stiffly ushered Stella into the car. She then retraced her steps back to the shoe shop. She crou

Chapter 6

Luna's POVMom couldn't say a single word. Both her lips and her hands were trembling. A long time passed before she finally forced a smile on her face, asking, "Are you angry at me for not taking you out, Luna? Is that why you're playing a prank on me?"Silence descended upon the room.My body had turned cold and stiff a long time ago. My chest lay flat and showed no signs of movement.Panic began to color Mom's tone. There was even a hint of pleading mixed in. "I want to apologize to you, Luna. I wronged you in the past. Don't scare me, okay?"Mom finally lost it when I still didn't respond. She hugged my body and let out a loud wail. "Luna! Open your eyes and look at me, Luna…"Stella had jolted awake from the noise. She impatiently ran to my room and snapped, "It's the middle of the night, Mom. Why are you being so noisy?"She noticed my stiff body as Mom was clutching me to her chest the next second. She subconsciously retreated a couple of steps before snapping to her sens

Chapter 7

Luna's POVMom was always spending time with Stella, taking her out to play and going on trips with her. Even when she was at home, she spent most of her time in Stella's room.I felt incredibly envious as I watched them, so when it was my birthday, I asked Mom, "Can you sleep with me tonight, Mom? I want to hear you sing a lullaby too. I want you to lull me to sleep just like how you lull Stella to sleep. Is that okay? I've never heard you sing a lullaby for me even though I'm grown up now."Mom was knitting a scarf for Stella at the time. She didn't react at all to my words. I thought that her hearing wasn't working again, so I raised my voice and repeated my requests several times.Mom finally opened her mouth after I repeated myself for the third time. She stared at me with confusion as I looked at her with anticipation welling up in my chest, asking, "What did you say, Luna? My hearing isn't very good. I didn't hear you."I was just about to repeat myself when Stella made a s

Chapter 8

Luna's POVMom was numbly making breakfast in the kitchen.Stella hesitated for a long time before returning to her room and pulling out a pink dress. I recognized that dress. She had to save her New Year money for three years before she was finally able to afford it.Stella stood in front of the mirror after she put it on for the first time. She really looked like the princesses on television.I felt incredibly envious and kept stealing glances at her. When Stella noticed what I was doing, she let out a haughty scoff and said, "Stop looking, Luna. You won't become a princess even if you put this on with that shriveled body of yours. You'll just look like an ugly duckling at most."I foolishly smiled and said, "You're right. You're the most beautiful princess, Stella."Stella scoffed again, but she stopped saying mean things to me.That night, I found a bowl of cherries in my room. I picked up the bowl and washed them before putting one in my mouth. The sweet taste tasted as

Chapter 9

Luna's POV"Happy birthday, Luna! Mom granted Stella's wish on her birthday. I have a birthday wish too. I want Mom to give me a kiss, but I don't think that she heard me."Happy birthday, Luna! Stella secretly gave me candy today. It was so sweet! I'm going to earn a lot of money when I grow up and buy Stella all the tastiest candy."Happy birthday, Luna! My stomach hurt a lot, too. But Mom and Stella are away on a trip. What should I do? Am I going to die? Will Mom and Stella be sad if I died?"Happy birthday, Luna! I earned 5 dollars and 30 cents today after selling the bottles and scrap that I collected for three months."Stay strong, Luna! You'll earn enough money soon. I'm going to buy Mom a hearing aid so her hearing gets better. I'm also going to buy Stella a pair of earrings from the store. The other female students in her class have them. Stella needs to have them too."My neat handwriting suddenly turned wonky on the last entry. The page was also stained with dried blo

Chapter 10

Luna's POVI felt a little dazed as I stared at the man who looked a little like me. From the moment I understood what was going on, I knew that Mom hated Dad with every fiber of her being.She hated him so much that she still cursed him out whenever she got drunk, even though they had been divorced for over a decade.I didn't want to upset Mom, so I never asked her anything about Dad. I never would have guessed that I would see him for the first time at my funeral.Mom lost it the moment she saw Dad. She snatched up a shovel and swung it at his head, screaming, "How dare you show your face here, George Woodson? Leave. Leave right now! Don't disturb Luna's rest."Dad's eyes were bloodshot, but they also burned with anger. "Your emotions were so sensitive when you were pregnant with Luna, Laura. You insisted that I had cheated on you, and refused to believe me no matter how I tried to explain myself. You even used Luna to threaten me into agreeing to a divorce."I agreed because I
