The music playing out of the speakers was sounding louder than normally today. The two girls sitting in front of me were laughing but to my ears it sounded like yelling. Everything was just too loud. Everyone was just too close to me. I felt like I was being crushed by the cafe I was sitting in. I stared at the screen of my phone, reading the same message over and over again, my brain not fully picking up the meaning behind it. It didn't want to pick up the meaning. "I'm sorry, your mother didn't make it." That couldn't be. I don't want this to be. I'm not going to survive if this is true. I felt like I was about to throw up, I already felt the piece of cake I just ate come back up. The girls in front of me were still laughing with each other, not noticing my probably heavily distressed expression. I couldn't stand to keep sitting here, so I excused myself quietly and ran into the cafe's bathroom.
To my luck, the restroom was completely empty. I ripped open one of the bathroom stall's door and dropped down on my knees. I let out everything that was left in my stomach, tears flowing down my face. This couldn't be happening. Suddenly I heard the door to the restroom open. "Sonya, are you okay?" Shit. It was one of the girls I was here with, my best friend Christina, to be exact. "Yeah, I'm okay" My voice sounded weridly compressed and I felt like I was going to choke on my tears. I don't know how I'm going to survive this.
