Waking up the next day was something out of a book.

I didn't want to move.

Or eat.

Or shower.

I just wanted to lay there.

I wanted to sleep.

Taylor's sister Emily texted me telling me the funeral would be on the twenty seventh, that was in 6 days.

Colby and Sam said they'd come with me.

I agreed. I didn't think I could do it on my own.

I felt guilt. I knew deep down I was somehow to blame.

Colby kept telling me it wasn't my fault but why else would he take her from this world.

I know what everyone's thinking? Why do I care? She got me kidnapped?

But nobody knew why she got me kidnapped. I didn't think she really did it. I think he had something on her.

The person I grew up with, she'd never do this to me.

Why would she do this to me?

But I guess now I'll never get to ask her.

It was 24 hours before I ate something.

It was 48 hours before I got out of bed to do anything other than go to the bathroom.

It was 72 hours before I took a shower. I didn't really shower, I mostly sat on the shower floor and cried. The water rinsing away the tears before they can fall.

It was 96 hours before I went outside and felt the sun on my face. I sat beside the pool for 4 hours.

I thought about the memories.

I thought about Taylor. I don't know when but at some point Kat came over and sat down. She knew I didn't want to talk.

I think they were scared of me being alone.

I had been through too much this year.

I could tell Colby was afraid. I could tell Sam was afraid. I could tell Kat was afraid.

I didn't want them to worry.

I reached over and grabbed Kats hand and leaned on her shoulder.

She rested her head on my head.

We sat there for another hour before she spoke.

"I know that I don't know what your going through. But I'm here for you, if you ever need someone to talk too. I'm just down the hall. So are Sam and Colby, I know that they've probably said that a million times. But we're all here for you"

"I know, thank you Kat" I looked over at her and smiled.

It was 102 hours before I smiled for the first time since losing Taylor.

"You wanna come with me to the mall? I need a black dress for the funeral?" I looked over at Kat.

"Sure" she smiled. We both got up and walked inside to get changed before heading to the mall.

I send Colby a text so he knows where I am.

We walk around for about an hour before I find one.
