With my face dulled from all the disappointment I had experienced today, I made my way upstairs. "Goodnight mom... Goodnight Alexia" I said with dull voice, I just couldn't find the strength to sound lively, as I was already using the little I had Left to walk up the golden colored spiral structured stairway.
