Dragged

The tears

Ring ring!

I search for my phone on my desk, my eyes still shut.

"Jesus Christ! Whoever this is have some sympathy towards those who try to avoid getting called at 2 O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING"

"Sorry. Oh and btw this is Kay

"Oh hey! hows it going,"I answer

"Well nahla I gotta tell u somethin" she said

"Sure what is it."

I could hear her crying.

"Kay, Hunny talk to me"

"My dad died." She said

" I'm so sorry do u want me to come over?"

"No I couldn't ask u to do that! It's 2 am"

"Im not taking no for an answer And besides u only live next door"

"If u must" she hung up the phone

I walked over to my closet and pulled out my thongs.

My hand manages to turn the door handle and as tired as I am I really have to surport her.

As I get outside I walk to my the gate that joins out 2 property's.

Knock knock!

Kay opened the door and she didnt look good. Her eyes were red and puffy and her hair was a mess.

I pulled her in for a hug as she sobbed into my shoulder

"It will be alright Kay. You can't have a positive without a negative. I will surport u through this." I told her

"But Nahla, that's the thing! It won't be alright. You don't know that!!! He didn't just die he... He killed himself.

He told me never to give up and what did he do? He gave up! I loved him with all my heart and about 10 minutes ago seeing him dead on the floor with an empty bottle of pills was the most depressing thing ever!! He left a note on the bathroom sink. Here read it" she said shoving the crumpled piece of paper in my hand.

Dear Kay, koby and Julia,

I'm sorry I had to do this. I didn't want It to happen and it was for your own good. Let me explain why it happened.

About a month ago I witnessed a murder. After he murdered the guy he saw me there and started running after me. He beat me and threatened to kill me. After that day he was giving me strange letters in the mail, the last one I got said that if I didn't kill myself he would murder you two and I love you so much I would never let that happen.

I dont want you to forget me but I want you to move on. Please don't just sit around sobbing all day over me. Don't tell everyone that I killed myself ok? Just tell them that when u got home u found me on the couch and I wasn't breathing.

Kay, I love you with all my heart and I didn't want to leave you at all. The same goes to you kobes and Julia.

I will be watching down on you.

Love Gary/dad xoxoxo

Ps when you get old I can't wait for you to join me up here.

I wiped my tears away from my eyes.

"Kay, im so sorry babe. We will get through this. I don't know what it's like to lose someone you love but right now I am absolutely gutted."

I pulled her In for a hug.

"I have an idea," I said. I took her shaking hand in mine and led her to the door.

"I'm taking you somewhere you can let out all of your emotions."

We ran and ran until we reached it. A cliff. " just scream Kay. Scream until you are out of breath."

She looked at me strangely before opening her mouth.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

"Now you do it" she said. I really didnt want to do it but she is really upset right now and I have to do it for her. I open my mouth and scream as loud as I can."AAAAAAAAAAAAHAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" It felt like I was screaming for minutes. It felt good doing that. I just everything that I had bottled up inside me. "I should go home now," Kay said. "Mum'll be worried." I nodded my head as I took my hand in hers and we ran back to our homes.
