I chuckled 

"Emmit stop joking, that's not funny. Where's your sister?" I said

 The sobs grew louder

There was silence 

"She killed herself" I heard him whisper "She killed herself last year"

That was a punch to the gut, but I still didn't believe it 

"Emmit just quit it, it's not funny" I said

The sobs became quiet after a moment

"Alright Emmit. Funny joke, now where is she?" I asked him

There was silence for a minute before a ragged sigh

"She's gone, Sarah killed herself last year on her birthday" I heard him say in between sobs

I froze, he wasn't kidding. I just said he was lying to his face. My friend, my best friend, my sister, my girlfriend...... she was gone and I just told her brother I thought he was lying and didn't take him seriously.
