the aftermath // iots

Friends forever

Katie had to put ice on her eyes from how swollen they were from her tears. Her body was aching, her hygiene was declining, she hasnt taken a shower in weeks, her room is begining to smell like death, the flowers Sadie gave her are beginning to rot.
Just like her body.

Katie will never forget the screams she heard come from her bestfriend that night.
Katie will never forget the cries she heard. Sadie repeatedly calling out for her.

"KATIE!!! KATIE COME BACK! IT HURTS!" She'd scream. While Katie hide like a coward in the tree. Katie remembers what it was like in the hole of that tree as if it had happened to her yesterday, the feeling of smns cold arm, and muscle tissue touching her hand when she tried to get out, the smell of Sadie's dead body while she hugged her and cried, the feeling of Sadie's body becoming lifeless in Katie's arms. The weakness in her knees when she tried to go back to the camp to tell everyone what had happened, but not even being able to speak because she couldnt stop crying. When she woke up the next morning she had to put icepacks on her eyes. Its getting harder to do normal day to day things, living has become a struggle for Katie as she has no reason to anymore, her bestfriend is gone. She lets it sink in, before on the Island she tried to see hope even after Sadie's death, her and Heather bonded a bit, she was really hoping they'd make it out together, but life will always have other plans. Whatever Katie wants, she loses, just as quick as she wanted it. Heather was gone, Sadie was gone, DJ was gone. Why did Katie have to survive? She tries, she really is, she wants to keep their memories alive but how? How can she continue on? How can she have the courage to continue living after everything she had witnessed? Katie sits in the corner of her room, its dark, and she is all alone.
She begins to hear things, words of people that are not her, but how could that be when she is alone?
"Its all your fault" One of the voices say.
"You killed her, you killed her!" Another screams. The voices are getting louder, disorintation, she feels cold hands on her skin, something peircing her soul.
"IT HURTS! IT HURTS, IT HURTS, IT HURTS, IT HURTS, IT HURTS, IT HURTS, IT HURTS!" Kacy screams putting her hands on her face, drawing her knees closer, the deep feeling of lonliness stepping deep into her bones.
"Don't leave me..." She begins to sob. Lonely, she is ever so lonely, she is alone. She has no one.

Why wont anyone she love stay? Why cant she just be with Sadie again? It hurts. She doesn't wanna be here, not anymore.

Her once thick, beautiful hair was now knotted, her hair has been thinning from pulling at it for so long, her head is throbbing, her eyes are puffy, snot is running down her nose, her arms are bloody and cut.
She stopped wearing pigtails because that was only a bestfriend thing, and her bestfriend was gone, and she wont ever come back.

Katie felt as if the room she was in was suffocating her, killing her slowly. She rushes up and hurridly unlocks her door, leaving and closing it loudly behind her. Katie wobbles down the stairs, and walks to the front door. She puts on her slides and walks out the class, the sun is bright, it hurts her eyes. She blocks the sum with her arm, and begins to just walk, walking for what felt like for hours. Not paying attention to whats around her, she bumps into someone

"Oh, I'm sorry" Katie says.
"Its fine." A guy says, she recogonizes his voice and looks up.
"Duncan?"
"Katie?" Duncan says, Katie looks up at him. He looks different, he grew his hair out, his green hairdye is gone and its all black, his blue eyes look dull, his close look more like something Courtney would wear. "So, you decided too leave the house?" He asks. Katie just stares.
"I-" Her voice is dry and hoarse, she puts her hand on her throat. "Oh my God, my voice." She attempts to clear her throat.
"Are you okay?" He asks her.
"I am fine... I just haven't used my voice in awhile I guess." Katie sighs, amd Duncan looks at her with sympothy. He was going to say something, tell her something but his phone started ringan
"Hold on." Duncan says to Katie."Да, мама?" Katie gives Duncan a look, she didnt know he was bilingual. "Что?  Что вообще произошло. Мама, я ничего не делал, у Стефани просто проблемы." He rolls his eyes as if he was speaking to her in person. "Почему? Серьезно? Хорошо, мама, да. Хорошо, пока, я люблю тебя." He moves his phone from his ear and hangs up, then he looks back at Katie.
"What language was that?" She asks.
"Russian, I have to go. My sister got into trouble." He starts walking away but then he stops. He turns around and faces Katie once more.
"Try to do stuff that'll make Sadie proud okay?" He runs off and Katie's eyes widened, she let his words sink deep into her bones, running them through her head.

Make her proud.
Katie begin to think, Sadie wouldnt like how Katie is right now, Sadie wouldn't want Katie to be this sad all the time, she would want her to keep going and move on.
So Katie will do what Sadie wants her to from now on.

She wants to end it all but she wont, because Sadie wouldn't want her too.

She stopped cutting herself because Sadie wouldn't want her too.

Her entire life will forever be built off of what Sadie would or wouldn't want.

She sat there thinking, Sadie would want her to leave her house. Sadie would want her to live without being held back.
Sadie would want her to move on...

So Katie will try to move on, but she will never forget, her bestfriend will always be with her.
Always.
