He found the video of her only a day after her death. Her grave was outside of the house, covered with fresh flowers. Krystal was there with him as well; she had not stopped crying since he had contacted her. Looking through all the photos they had taken together, he suddenly landed on a video that Jessica had taken. Surprised to find this unexpected surprise, he pressed on it and her voice flowed out of the speakers.
"Today is my last day being alive."
He stared at her bright and healthy face. Her large brown eyes eagerly looked into the camera.
"Does this work?" She fiddled with the camera for a little while and he smiled.
"The previous days I've been hanging out with Krystal and Kris. Yesterday, Krystal left but..."
He paused the video and walked over to Krystal. "Jessica left this behind for us," he said quietly. He restarted the video.
"Today is my last day being alive. Does this work?"
Krystal laughed slightly, remembering her sister's in-adeptness with dealing with electronic devices.
They watched through the film silently.
"...you are an amazing person Krystal. I-I really love you..." By the time Jessica had finished talking about her little sister, Krystal was sobbing into Kris' shoulder. He hesitantly wiped away tears that started to form in his eyes.
"...I really hope that after I go, you'll find someone that'll stay with you for the rest of your life. I love you Kris..." Wet, salty drops of water rolled down his face in an endless flow. He missed her so much, he longed to feel her body again, to feel her warmth, to hear her voice, to smell her scent...He would never love anyone more than he loved Jessica. She would always stay with him for as long as he lived.
"...Bye everyone. I love you all." The recording ended with Jessica holding her hands up in a heart shape. Kris sobbed, covering his mouth. Krystal had stopped crying and was staring blankly into space, unable to accept reality.
"J-jessica..." he shakily breathed her name. Getting up from the couch, he walked outside to her grave and fell to his knees. "Jessica!" He angrily grasped tufts of grass. "JESSICA!"
