She's not gone.
She's my best friend, she'll be in her room like she always is.
Tyler thought as he rode his long board to you're house. His parents suggest he not go, because you're mom is still upset, but he didn't believe what he had heard last week at the dinner table.
He had cried. And cried. Just like he did when he found your blade. He didn't believe someone so beautiful would hate herself so much. He didn't believe the things the people at your school said to you.
Slowly he knocked on the door to your house.
The thought finally filled his mind.
What if it's true?
What if she really did it?
What if you were making a fool of yourself?
"Tyler honey." Your mom said in a tired voice. Has she slept at all?
"Mrs.(y/l/n) can I-I see (y/n)'s r-room?" Without realizing Tyler's eyes where misty and he had trouble seeing.
"Of course. I found some things for you. Things she wanted you to have" for some reason her voice didn't change with every sound that came out. It stayed in the same full tone. Tyler stumbled to your room.
He sat on your still messy bed.
"I know you're here. Please tell me you're here. You have to be here. (Y/n) I can't do this. I need you. Why'd you have to leave me? Did you think about me? Did you think about anyone? Did you think about how we feel? Did you think we were ok with it?" The questions came in shouting form. It was finally processing through Tyler.
You're dead
Through the tears dropping into what was your bed, Tyler spotted a bag with your name.
"You left this for me?" Tyler asked as if you were right beside him.
He wiped the loose tears and grabbed the bag on your desk. The first thing he pulled out was a small camera with a sticky note on he back.
Dear Tyler
  Remember when we played in the sprinklers and took those sick pictures?
He switched the dull pink camera on and looked through the bad pictures of 11 year old kids playing in water. You both had huge smiles as you jumped through the spraying water.
The next thing in the plastic bag was picture of two ukuleles with writing on the back.
Dear Tyler
The jam session was fun. You probably won't she this tomorrow. But thank you for making my life better. Like you said we find our worth in giving birth and stuff
Tyler let a tear fall into the photo. This was the day before you committed. How long where you planning this?
His hand went back into the bag to find a CD case.
The 1975
The writing was on the inside this time.
I was thinking of killing myself don't you mind don't you mind.
"I mind." He whispered and reached back into the bag. The only things left were two pieces of paper.
Dear Tyler
3 weeks ago when you showed me your songs, I've thought about them every night. Friend please is my favorite. Did you write it for me? I'm sorry. I'm sorry about tonight.
"Friend please remove your hands from over your eyes for me I know you want to leave but friend please don't take your life away from me."
Dear Tyler
    Im thinking about you. I want to leave. You have saved me so many times before. I hope you don't cry. I hope you aren't too sad. I know you don't want me to leave. We are dying with every breath we take. Stay alive for everyone. Tell them I love them. Tell them I'm sorry and I didn't want them to see me. Tell my dad I'm sorry. Tell him I'm sorry for lying. For saying I'm fine. I'm sorry Tyler. The hardest part about this is leaving you. I know you deal with these thoughts. You will help so many one day. Just wait. I'll be watching. You and josh will do great. 18 years was enough life for me. I love you Tyler.
"I love you too." Then Tyler wiped his tears and went to deliver your words.
"It's hard talking about you (y/n). The day you died, I got signed to a label. I was going to take you to the park. I know it's your favorite place. I was going to show you more songs. I'll stay alive. I want you to be proud."
