Mothers Pov.

7am
My Husband, Youngest Daughter and I all leave for work. My beautiful eldest daughter is still sleeping peacefully.

.

10pm
We walk through the doors together, laughing. It's nice having a family business. We all get to work together, I hope my eldest can work with us soon. When she's feeling better.

My husband goes to use the bathroom but after the toilet flushing instead of hearing the sounds of water flowing from the tap, All I hear is this scream. Bloodcurdling scream from my husband. He never screams, What's going on?

My youngest daughter and I quickly shut up and speed walk to the bathroom.
Floor covered in this red liquid, My daughter laying on the floor.

I quickly cover my youngest daughters.. Sorry I mean. I quickly cover my eldest daughters eyes and push her away. I shut the door and dial triple 000.

11pm
Blue and red lights flood the streets, Neighbours start coming out in their sleepwear.
She should've been asleep like them? Wasn't she?
Random people drag my daughter away in a body bag.
I sob into my husbands arm.

12am
We are in the police station, They want to ask us questions. We answer everything and anything we can. What was wrong with my baby girl?
A physiologist walks into the room giving us his card. He suggests that we all go to personal and family counselings.

.

6 days pass
I stay in bed most days, But I have to plan her funeral. I walk past that bathroom. I can't bare to look inside, My eldest daughter is in her room. Sleeping. My husband is probably at the pub.

.

1 month passes
My daughters father and I seperate. It's been to hard.

.

1 year
I finally go into her room. Everything is spotless, How didn't I notice? It's never spotless.
Then I see, The letters. I quickly grab them from her bed and read them.
I sob, not trying to hide my cries anymore because it's to hard.
