Brae'lynn Lee Arnold (17)

I woke up at 3am and none of the girls were home.

I guess they snuck out to go see they boyfriend and girlfriends.

I was bored as hell so I decided to FaceTime Terrell.

He didn't answer, he was probably sleeping.

I was scrolling though my camera roll and saw a picture of my younger sister Brielle.

I started tearing up. She was so cute.

I looked at the date and it was the day she died.

That was the last photo she ever took.

It was at daycare because it was picture day.

I immediately burst out in tears.

I got up and went in the bathroom.

I started repeatedly punching my hand against the sink.

"This is all my fault,
This is all my fault
This is all my fault" I kept saying.

I looked down and my while hand was bleeding.

All of a sudden my phone started ringing.

It was Terrell.

I quickly washed off my bloody hand and answered the phone.

"Hey" I said.

"Wassup you called me" he said in his sleepy voice.

"Uhhh yeah but I could call you back if you sleep" I said.

"Nah you good ma" he said.

Butterflies

I sat back down on my bed.

"What you doing up anyways" he asked.

"Oh nothing just bored" I lied.

"Brae'lynn guess what" he said.
