As I walk home, I don't even seem to care about the fact my best friend has completely disregarded what i want in life, Ive lost the capability to care.

My phone rings as i'm a few seconds away from my house, it could be Rue apologising, but I laugh at that idea. I conclude that its Fez, asking how things went, however when i look its an unknown number.

"Hello?" I say, trying to make my voice sound as normal as possible, as its still fairly broken.

"Hi, is this melody Hyde?"

"yeah?"

"Hi, erm, Ive got some bad news about your sister, Madison Hyde?"

a knot forms in my stomach as I hear these words, Knowing i haven't heard from my sister in a few days. I swallow hard.

"what is it? Whats happened?"

"She was in a fatal car accident, along with her boyfriend. They collided with a truck. Your sister and her boyfriend seemed to be intoxicated at the time of the incident. She was in the ICU for these past few days in a coma, suffering with fatal head injuries. We are so incredibly sorry we didn't call you sooner, she didn't seem to have many family contacts, and you definitely weren't easy to track down. She passed away this morning from internal bleeding. We want to know if you need any support with planning her funeral. Her boyfriends family is willing to help-"

I end the phone. My knees weaken and I collapse onto the pavement. For a few moments, My surroundings seem to fade away into nothingness, leaving me in a never ending black void, filled with evil. I stand up, still in shock, and run to Fez's shop, hoping he is there, hoping I can feel his arms around me.

He isn't there.

I run toward his house, No matter how tired my legs get, how weak I feel, mentally and physically. I am so close to slipping away, I am so close to leaving this horrible fucking world.

I just lost the only family I had left.

I reach his door and bang as hard as I can.

Fez whips the blinds back.

"Yo you need to leave right now mel." Fez says seriously.

"No Fez I-"

"leave melody, Im not playin. Mouse finna be here any minute now and if he sees you some bad shit will go down. Go."

I stare at him

"NOW" He shouts, obviously panicking.

I run back towards my house, a stitch forming in my side, as i reach my door I can hardly breathe, my lungs ache and I feel faint.

I go upstairs to my room, and thats when the tears finally come.
