A sigh escapes my lips as I swipe the card of the hotel. I push open the door keeping my head down walking into the room. When I enter I close the door behind me closing my eyes a brief moment slowly letting the tears that wanted to just come out straight away at the hospital come out now. Until I heard something in the room.
"Hello?" I call out, my voice rough as I open my eyes and quickly wipe at my tears. I slowly walk forward finding none other than Alycia just now standing up from the bed. "Alycia- what are you-"
"You weren't answering my calls or my texts. You left without me. I tried asking June what was going on and she didn't really say-" Alycia spits out fast as I watch her hands fly everywhere. But as she talked all I could do was feel this weight on my chest and something in my eyes to the point I just let the tears roll and that's what caused Alycia to stop talking and tilt her head. Through my blurry vision I could see eyes filled with more concern than there already was and within seconds I felt her arms wrap around me, pulling me close to her and squeezing me tight. I close my eyes and wrap my own arms back around her feeling comfort with her.
"Hey.. What's going on?" Alycia asked her voice low. Slowly I pull away and lock our eyes. Concern is written all over the brunette's face as she looks back and forth between my eyes. I shake my head from side to side feeling her grab my hand and pull me to the bed. She sits down first and I sit down beside her looking straight ahead rather than looking at her. I pick up my hand and wipe at my eyes trying to clear up the tears. After several moments of us sitting in silence I finally look to her.
"I got a call from- from my Uncle," I start watching her eyes go back and forth between mine.
"Your uncle? I thought you said you didn't talk to any of them..?" Alycia asked tilting her head.
"I don't... the only person I did w-was... Tina, my sister," I respond looking away and down to my hands.
"Wait... was? Why'd you say it in past tense Y/N?"
"Because...She committed suicide." I look away from the girl and drop my head immediately feeling her wrap her arms around me. I didn't know how to act or to respond. How does someone react to someone whom they love do that? How? Because I'm finding it harder and harder to figure it out. All I want to do is lay in a bed and cry. All I can think of.. is what could I have done? What could I have said or done to change her mind? Or even prevent her from doing this...
"I'm so sorry Y/N," Alycia whispered into my ear. I shake my head from side to side reaching up my hand and wiping at my eyes again.
"She struggled with depression. I tried my damn hardest to be there... I just I don't know what h-happened," my voice lowers more than I thought it could ever go. I close my eyes a moment feeling Alycia lay her head against mine.
"Did she leave a note?" At Alycia's question I gently lift up off of the bed feeling Alycia's arm gently unwrap around me. I reach into my back pocket and pull out the note, sitting back down. I make no move to open it. All I can do is stare at it in my hands until I see Alycia's hands wrap around mine gently. Slowly I turn my head and lock our eyes. She tilts her head to the side looking back and forth between my eyes with a soft expression across her face and in her eyes. I bite my lip and look away back down at our hands.
"My uncle said—said she wrote this for me-" I pause holding back the tears. "I couldn't-couldn't bring myself to read it there and I can't-can't do it now."
"I get that and that's okay Y/N-" Alycia pauses this time causing me to close my eyes and nod. "You don't have to. She just passed and it's hard. It's going to be but it's going to get better... How about this-" She pauses again and I feel her hands vanish from holding mine. I open my eyes and seeing my hands only, holding the note. I pick up my head and find Alycia slipping her shoes off and walking over to the tv grabbing the tv remote and her phone.
"Eh-What are you doing?" I question tilting my head and staring at her through the tears in my eyes. She shakes her head and types away on her phone. I continue to stare at the Australian as she types and before long she picks up her head and slides the phone into her pocket.
"Our schedule is cleared tomorrow!" She announced walking towards me.
"Alycia-"
"No no no! Don't interrupt," she said cutting me off and holding out her hands. I glance down to her hands then slightly look back up to her green eyes. She nods and reaches down grabbing a hold of my wrists pulling me up so I stand. "I cleared our schedule, just order a bunch of food. And you may not want to eat but I ordered your favorites."
"Alycia I-"
"We're going to change into comfortable clothing and then we're going to lay in that bed and either watch tv or we can talk about good memories of you and your sister. Okay? You can tell about that one time you and her snuck out of dad's house and went to that swim hole. Or when you and her played that one prank on your uncle where you guys filled his car with a bunch of balloons-"
I put the note into my pocket and step forward grabbing a hold of Alycia's hands, giving them a gentle squeeze causing her to stop talking. I give her a gentle smile closing my eyes a split second before opening them back up.
"You already know those stories," I say and Alycia nods squeezing my hands this time.
"Yeah but they were good stories!" Alycia exclaimed smiling a tad bit. I think back on the memory of Tina and I. A faint smile rising to my lips as I nod. "See... Okay so I'm going to go change and I'll be right back. You better be changed when I get back!" She squeezes my hands once more and then heads for the door.
I stand there a second watching her as she leaves until she's no longer in sight and no longer in the room. The fain smile I wore has vanished and I take in a deep breathe before slowly releasing it as I turn on my heels and head for my suitcase and dig out sweatpants and a t-shirt. And before I leave my suitcase I reach into my pocket and pull out the note. My eyes linger on it a moment. The picture of my baby sister laying in that bed flashes through my mind before her laugh fills my ears. Quickly I open my eyes and put the note into my suitcase in a safe location. After I do I stand and quickly head for the restroom.
