Julia (17) Mp4 (360p)

The room was dark, but for the first time in a year, the silence didn't feel heavy.

When the clock on her taskbar hit 11:59 PM, Julia took a deep breath. "See you on the other side," she said with a small, knowing smile. She clicked 'Stop,' watched the progress bar as the file saved, and closed her laptop.

For ten minutes, she didn't say a word. She just watched the little red dot blink on her laptop screen, reflecting in her dark eyes. She looked at the posters on her wall—remnants of a girl she wasn't sure she still was—and the pile of college applications sitting on her desk like a mountain she wasn't ready to climb.
