Tears Stole The Heart

Chapter 5-Mhmm,still heartbroken

I woke up the next day, and when I first grasp hold of all my senses, I was thanking god it was a Saturday. You see our school semester this year started off on a Friday so that meant we’d have two extra days to live up our life to the fullest. (Im secretly screaming and crying right now, HALLELUJAH.)
But as soon as I indulged in starting my body’s engine, I heard sounds of wimping, sirens filled the entire atmosphere, so I jumped out of bed with a shock.
I saw Piper, crying, embracing Jin Wei’s hug as Jin Wei ushered Daniel to get a glass of water for Piper, while Jason was talking to one of the policeman, providing a testimony I think. But to lighten up the tension a bit, they were wearing their pajamas. But to tensify it even more, there were policemen, at 8 o’clock, in my basement, testifying all four of my best friends in their pajama’s, and Piper was crying her eyes out.
I was stunned at the spot, what the hell just happened.
The policemen didn’t really give any attention towards me, they just snapped a few pictures of our basement then they proceeded upstairs to my dad for more information.
I stumbled across the room like some 5 year old boy at the shopping mall who lost his mommy. I guess I was stupid to approach Piper first cause she was crying her heart out, she could barely breathe. All I could say was: ‘What happened?’ in the flattest most ridiculous tone.
Daniel was slowly feeding Piper some water when Jason pulled me to a side.
‘For fucks sake Jason, what happened.’
Jason said, while trying hard not to let out his man tears.
‘She’s dead.’
‘Wha…. What?’ I  tried not to believe my ears even though I heard every single word he said.
‘Piper’s mom is dead.’ ‘They found her dead at 6 this morning when the landlords men came to check up on the house as usual.’
Are you sure was the only thing I could think of.
‘How the hell are you sure it wasn’t the landlords who killed her? There is like a damn 90% that they just brought this up to the police to hide their traces?’ I bursted.
‘Its under investigation, but Piper’s mom was declared dead when they found her. The cause of death was because of a sharp shard of glass pierced through, aiming to her heart. Forensic department hasn’t brought her to their headquarters because when they found her the police was already investigating, so Piper’s heartfelt demand to see her mom one last time before they send her off is whats making her cry out every goddamn tear in her body.’ Jason blattered it all out as he shed a tear.
I think I was shaken by this news too, but there’s no way im going to cry here, it will make the situation worse. So I just remained silent.
A policeman, then approached us.
‘Heartfelt sympathy and condolences we send to your family. If Ms. Piper Lawrence wishes to see her mother for the last time, she is welcomed to now, Mrs. Lawrence hasn’t been touched since the time of her accident.’ He said.
‘Thank you, I’ll inform Piper.’ Jason said sorrowfully.
‘And please make it quick, the forensic department is going to take it from here soon.’ He reminded.
‘Okay’ I said while tapping on Jason’s shoulder.
We approached Jin Wei who was still hugging Piper and Daniel who was by their side.
‘Its time.’ Jason mumbled.
‘Come on Pipes.’ Jin Wei brought Piper out of her hug. But Piper refused to look at anyone of us.
‘Now or never, you will regret if you don’t’ Daniel added.
Piper looked at us with her eyes full of tears and cried even more. We all could only stand in place, helping her get up to her house. What humans are only capable of, sucks. We could only see as her heart shatters into pieces, and what we could only say was: ’Its okay’.
Piper’s house was already under investigation, it was already closed off.
We crouched under those ribbon thingy used to close off houses under investigation as we walked through the egg coated doorway from yesterday. Piper then rushed up on her own, upstairs leaving all of us chasing after her.
Piper
I was crouching at her side, with absolute nothing to say, nothing left, all of my energy is strained. After crying my eyes out, after the scars my dad left, I walked the path that my mom created for both of us. Until halfway where she just gave up, I had to mend the broken pathway. But now, she just stopped, she ended the road.
I looked at her face that is still stained with tears, I look at her hands that are coated with wrinkles, I look at her eyes that are looking right at me with the unbearable stare of sorrow, I look at her heart, now its officially, broken.
All the times she came back drunk, all the times she left me on my own, all the times she made me get down on my knees and beat me, all the times she would try to cut her wrist, all the times she would purposely puff her cigeratte in front of me,  I never once complained about it, why did she leave?
A few hours ago, this body, in front of me, was alive, has senses, had her own soul, had her feelings, was so full of energy going clubbing, but now, as if she would stop doing all of the things she swore she would never stop doing, she stopped.
She’s gone.
I was bursting into tears when Jason, Bryan, Daniel and Jin Wei caught up with me, tears dropped on my mom’s hands which she used to beat me with, but also the hands which she used to pat my forehead with when I was younger.
‘Piper….’ Jin Wei said, crying as well.
‘Why….’ I said while I heard my heart breaking and shattering inside of me, and its broken pieces are cutting and hurting the rest of my body.
‘Why the hell did you leave!?’ I yelled while shaking that cold, lifeless hand.
Jin Wei held on to me as I continued pouring out tears.
‘Piper…’
‘You said you were born to make me hate you! You said you would never stop doing the things I despise until one day when I took my bags out of the house and swore that I wont come back! You purposely puffed that cigerratte in front of my face and said it would be a pleasure if I abandoned you! You whacked me, yelled at me and screamed that I should despise you! You came home drunk with other men and said your enjoying life! Now let me tell you! I absolutely despise you! I hate you, words cannot describe my hatred for you!!! I hate you! I hate you! Why didn’t you allow me to let me say it? Come back! I haven’t said it yet!”
Tears my friend, tears are all left. Words can’t describe sorrow, but a tear concludes all of it.
I couldn’t help my tears, they just fell on my cheeks, they made me feel as if their corroding every part of my body, because it feels as if its acidic, I feel more and more hollow as tears flood out of me.
I buried myself in Jin Wei’s arms as she cried with me, holding me tight.
‘Why, why do you want me to leave you….’ I said with every ounce of my might.
Now, Jason, Bryan and Daniel are all hugging me.
Yes, that’s right, hug me like this, protect me like this, hide me like this. I’m too fragile now I might shatter into pieces.
How the hell would the world understand this torture, who knows what the hell I’ve been through.
I didn’t lose hope on you, I had a part time job just to help you out, I didn’t want to hate you, I didn’t want you to leave me.
But I guess it was one way or another, because you chickened out and took you own route.
Bitch, you mother fucking bitch. I hate you.
Jin Wei
Piper buried herself into my arms, all she could let out was tears. It stained my arms, my clothes, everything, but there’s a permanent stain right in her heart. I felt horrible, all I could do was just hug her, all I could do was hope she can remain fighting there. All I could hope was my hug was enough to melt away all her troubles, all I could give to Piper was my emotional support. But honestly who the hell can understand another person’s pain? That pain that devours someone’s self, that pain that burns off anything you want to do, the pain that kills to even talk about it. Painkillers are all goddamn bullcrap, they take away your pain temporarily, but they don’t know, when the pain seeps through your soul, its there for life. I feel so stupid, I can’t do anything to help Piper. I know that no matter how hard I try to put myself in Piper’s position, I can never ever understand the pain she is going through. All I am capable of is giving her my support, but sometimes people don’t fucking need support, they need someone who understands them, whom they know knows the damn burden as well. Carrying the weight of the world on her shoulders, all I can do is carry such a small part of it, and stand at the side telling her she can do it, what the hell.
Jason
I couldn’t stand it, I had to leave this place, seeing Piper this way does not make me the slightest bit comfortable. Bryan, as if he read my mind, he grabbed my arm as we headed downstairs outside and away from the investigation, I called Daniel to come along with us.
‘You can handle Piper?’ I called out to Jin Wei. ‘Yea, you guys go ahead, I’ll call you when I need anything.’
I gave her a weak smile as I was being pulled out by Bryan and Daniel.
‘Holy shit I swear if I continue being in that situation I will faint.’ Bryan let out a deep, long sigh.
‘Poor Piper… and what are we capable of? Just sitting here supporting her when she is dying on the inside.’ Daniel looking fairly depressed.
‘Support is all we can offer her now.’ I said, feeling stupid. No actually I take it back just kill me.
‘Its not our fault we can’t understand her pain, she has to fight it off.’ Bryan said coldy.
Instantly, me and Daniel just stared at Bryan. So basically your best friend is in pain and that’s all you can say?
‘We honestly can’t help that much, but what is this case labeled as in now?’ Bryan still answering like he didn’t know Piper that well, instead of knowing her for 17 years.
‘Labeled as unknown obviously.’ I answered him, looking abit pissed.
‘I think it’s a murder.’ Bryan said with some certain in his tone.
‘Why? What do you know about it Bryan?’ Daniel asked.
‘Just trust me, I think it’s a murder.’ Bryan scowled.
Bryan just answered the most stupidest question. Basically you tell someone you want ice cream, then you just answer again that you want ice cream, you never actually answered the question!
‘What do you know about this?’ I continued to pry.
‘You will know sooner or later.’
‘Are you gonna provide a testimony?’ Daniel asked as he sat down.
‘No. There’s no evidence, and there’s 55% chance it was an illusion.’ Bryan seemed as if he was joking.
Bryan is just so cold sometimes. I mean I understand his previous relationship with Alexis was the remake of ‘Conjuring’ but that kind of changed him. It changed his perspective of many things. There was also a drastic change in his behavior. I guess these are what you call scars from previous relationships? It kind of prevents Bryan to be caring, sentimental and actually being warm to anybody around him, because he thinks he is overdoing it. And it kind of prevents Bryan to actually believe the existence of love too. If I were a girl, Bryan would be those kind of guys who I thought would be very caring at first but then breaks your heart 365 times before you can actually begin to forget him. You see, maybe it would be easier for girls to communicate, because girls actually understand girls, but the matter of fact is that boys don’t understand boys. What one boy thinks or does is not necessarily what another boy would do, so when you come and ask a certain boy about a certain question like: How would he react? or Should I text him first? We really can only provide you with our honest opinion, because some boys hate girls who text them first, but as a matter of fact, I’m absolutely ok with girls who text me first, I mean, it’s not some huge mistake texting a guy first, is it?
No matter what it is, or what Bryan went through, I just know he has to get something working in his brain or I will never be seeing little Bryan’s, EVER.
