My dear sweet Amberly,
I would do anything to go back in time over and over again to the day where you left us. The fact I we had texted the day before and how I saw you a few days before breaks me knowing that you were struggling, and I was stupid enough not to notice.
I didn't find out about your death until days later. for some reason deep down i knew something was wrong by the way my parents were acting. they sat us all down and said that someone we love has died. they said that this person is really young and had taken their own life. as soon as those words left their lips, I knew it was you sweet girl. I'll never forget that day it was the worst day of my life. I stayed up the whole night trying to figure out what was happening.
It hit me hard, like really hard but for some reason it didn't feel real I couldn't believe you were gone, I didn't want to believe it. I went numb, I felt like I was floating out of my body. I couldn't eat, drink, sleep, cry. I kept asking my mum "are you sure it wasn't an accident?" "Are you sure it wasn't a misunderstanding of some sort?" I would think I'm not believing anything until I see a body...
