"Tris, please come out!" The shouts continue and I keep staring forward in the darkness.

"Tris!" This time it's Ben and more tears sip out.

14,791 seconds.

14,792 seconds.

"It's been two weeks." Ben urges pounding on the hallway closet door.

Two weeks. Two fùcken weeks since I broke. Two weeks of hell since I have been left.

Two weeks since I've been left alone.

I sob into Dale's army jacket that I took as I rock back and forth over and over.

Crap, I lost count again.

1 second.

2 seconds.

3 seconds.

4 seconds.

"Tris please," My chest tightens and I break down into a fit of tears. I can't do this. I can't do this alone.

I'm broken. I want to die. I want to go with them.

"I know it's hard, but this isn't healthy." Christina begs twisting the door knob that I had locked after hiding in here.

"I w-want him." My voice cracks and the taste of salty tears invades my mouth.

"Honey, please." I shake my head and keep quiet as I continue to clutch onto a picture of her.

"Make them come back. P-please, it hurts." I sob trembling at the pain in my chest.

"Tris.. I'm here." I hear a voice I have missed so much and that's the only thing I responded too.

"Caleb!" I cry out finally opening and coming out voluntarily for the first time in the past weeks.

"Shhh... I got you." He assures hugging me while I cry onto his shoulder.

"I missed y-you." I croak. I haven't seen him every since I left my house which was over five years ago.

"I miss you too. Everything will be okay. I promise." He whispers soothingly and I start to tear up again.

"Caleb, it hurts so much. It's all my fault... My baby girl..." I whimper holding him tighter.

"No, no. It's not your fault..." I know he's lying. If I hadn't of gone to see Tobias none of this would've happened. Josie wouldn't of been crying for me, Dale wouldn't of promised to take her to see me. They wouldn't of crashed.

The memories bring back the pain as I weep on my brothers shoulder.

"I can't take it Caleb. I want my baby girl ball. I want Josie! Dammit!" I cry out angrily. Why did this happen to me? Why?

"You have to stay strong Tris. For the baby." He says motioning to my stomach and I frown.

"I can't have a child. I couldn't even care for my own daughter." I spit out ashamed as the tears kept flowing.

"Your a fantastic mother. It wasn't your fault." I don't care what anyone says. I can't movie on. I won't.

I lost my husband and little girl, I don't want to live anymore. They were my whole reason for being alive.
