Me and Sarah would play together every day after we finished our homework unless we were busy.
One day, a few days before her birthday I got on and waited. She had told me she'd get on but probably later. I waited for three hours before I got bored and hopped off the game.
I messaged her through the PlayStation app saying:
"Hey sorry, didn't see you on today and had to get off. Wanna play tomorrow tho? See ya, have a great night love"
She never responded to my message, and never got on again.
****************************
A year later on her birthday I got on when I saw her account was online.
I jumped up in my seat and smiled.
I immediately invited her account to play a game so I can talk to her, and tell her I still love her.
After a few minutes she joined, I still remember what I said:
"Sarah! Hey girl, how have you been? You doing okay? I haven't seen you on in like, forever"
I heard a small sob on the other end of the mic. I looked at the screen confused
"Sarah?" I asked
The sob became louder
"Sarah, Sarah can't play anymore" a male voice said
I knew who it was, it was Sarah's brother Emmit
Emmit was known to be a joker and play stupid pranks
"What do you mean she can't play anymore? Put your sister on the mic Emmit, I wanna talk to her" I said
The sobs continued
"Sadie, she's gone" he whispered
