"We ain't angry at you, love
You're the greatest thing we've lost."

Tw: Angst no happy ending at all , cry about it.

    It was a secret that Lelani was struggling with her mental health. I mean how could anyone notice? She always had a bubbly attitude. That stupid Goofy smile on her face. Always cracking a joke. She could brighten anyones day , just by walking into the room.

  The team was cleaning out her dorm , you could tell she left an bug impact from leaving the world. Sniffles and soft cries where the only thing you could hear in the dorm room. The team all looking at different parts of her room. Kk , Ice , Azzi , Aubrey , and Ayanna looking at the pictures she had on her wall of everyone. Laughing at the goofy ones. Azzi , holding her favorite hello kitty plushie. Caroline , Ashlynn, Jana , and kayla looking at her perfectly made bed. Paige picking up little things on her dresser.
    That's when she picked up her jewelry box , seeing a letter under it. Her hands trembled picking it up before flipping it over seeing the words "To: UCONN WOMEN BASKETBALL TEAM & Kayla" Paige laughed a bit seeing the "& KAYLA" Part.

Yall come here. Paige said turning to the group of girls in the room , and Geno.

The girls walked over.

She umm...umm left a letter. Paige said handing the letter to Azzi so she could read it.

Azzi hesitated at first , but took the letter. She unfolded the paper and begun to read.

"Dear girly pops & the infamous Geno," Azzi read out loud before laughing a bit.

Making the group laugh with her.

"Dear girly pops & the infamous Geno,

        If your reading this it means i went through with it. Im sorry that i left , but i physically and mentally couldn't take it anymore. I know it wasn't noticeable that i was struggling with ny mental health, but that was the best part of all of this. Hiding it. I want to thank all of yall for making these 2 years the best ones of my life. Not only yall kept a smile on my face , but also made sure i was good. Theres not a single day where yall didn't check on me. Well besides today obviously.

    Azzi, i know your the one reading this so i want because you was the best reader in the group. So i will like to tell you that , seeing you walk into practice with that smile on your face always made my day. You smile could instantly brighten somebody's day. No matter if it was a bad day or a good one.
   Paige, oh paige... I hated your skinny jeans phase by the way. Thank you for loving me like i was your little sister though. Even though , you used to tease me for my height , you always knew how to make me feel loved.
   Aubrey, THANKS FOR BEING THE BEST PARTNER EVER!! Seriously though, and even though acted like i hated doing those stupid dances with you , I secretly loved them. Miss. I don't believe in deodorant, you made my last few days. Taking me around with you and Liyah like i was yall child.
   Kamorea, Hi girly pop.... Most likely your taking this the hardest. I know it hurts , I want you to know i love you. You were like the sister i never had , We grew up together, and accomplished our dreams together. But you have to finish mines and your dreams for me. You HAVE to keep pushing kk , you HAVE to make it to the W for me and you.  I couldn't finish my dream , but your gonna finish it for me  okay? And I won't you to pronise that to me. Even if im dead now.
   Ice, Thank you for everything. Even acting like you were my mother. Making sure I ate , felt good , having a good day , constantly checking up on me. Just being there honestly.
   Ayanna, i know your taking this hard love. i love you seriously. I know I didn't show it always , and called you annoying at times but , you were actually the most important person in my life. We loved each other unconditionally. And i want you to find someone who loved you just like i did. I don't want you walking around campus looking like who did it and why. You were my first and last love. I love you , baby.
   Jana and kayla , The best UCONN duo everrrr. I loved being next door from yall and walking in at any time. Kayla thank you for doing my hair before EVERY game.
   Ashlynn, Thank you for coming to every concert with me (specially hoizer's). And don't post me to pink skies by zach , girl.
   Caroline, you seriously had a very bad potty mouth. You need to fix that. But you always made me laugh girl.
   The infamous Geno, Thank you for giving me th chance to play for UCONN. It have always been my dream, and you made it come true. Even though you'll always yell at me when i stressed you out. "God damnit Lelani , i- fuck- come sit your ass down!" . You were grumpy at time , well who am i kidding all the time.  But thats what made you , you. "

"But don't be mad at me for leaving. And im so sorry. And play "skeeyee" by sexyy redd at my funeral please."

        Love,
              Lelani forbes.

   Everyone was sobbing by now , if they wasn't already. Kk sobbing in paige's chest. Paige rubbing her back crying herself. Ayanna holding on to Jana , trying not to cry. Azzi crying, a feeling drops falling onto the letter. Even Geno was crying.

The group started laughing at the last part of the letter.

We ain't angry at you love , you're the greatest thing we lost. Geno said wiping his tears.

I wrote this because September is National Suicide Month, 700,00 people in the world commit suicide yearly. I just want everyone to know that they are not alone with any battle they are fighting. My dm's are always open to whoever.
