I smiled as Patrick got punched by Lily playfully. Patrick got a call.

"Hello? Sh*t! Is she okay? (Sob) Okay, I'll be over in a minute." He hung up. "Amanda is....."
Lily burst into tears. "No!"
My heart shattered. Not only was Patrick sobbing, Lily was too.

"Hey...Hey, it's okay. She's in a better place now. Patrick, she's proud of y-"
"FOR WHAT PETER????!!!!! SHE COMMITTED SUICIDE!!!!!!"

I quickly shut my mouth. She'd done what I attempted and failed, only she didn't fail. I looked at Lily, imagining what she would be like if I had died instead.
"She accomplished what I tried.." the words stung like poison on my tongue.

"NO PETER! DON'T SAY THAT!" Lily yelled.

I heard Patrick whispering. "Goodbye, Amanda. This is my fault."

I walked out. I knew this wasn't Patrick's fault. It was Joe's.
