It's been a month since Anthony's funeral, and Serenity has been very distant and closed off ever since.
After his death, she decided to move back in with mom and I.
I was happy to have her back because there was nothing she needed more than someone to be there for her during these hard times.
But she wouldn't let me.
She'd never come out of her room unless it was to use the bathroom or get something to eat.
Sometimes I can hear faint cries coming from her room late at night.
I've tried to talk to her many times, but she'd just ask me to leave her alone.
It broke my heart to see her like this.
I know she's hurting, but driving herself into depression isn't healthy for her neither the baby.
She shouldn't be going through this alone.
I sighed deeply before getting out of bed and making my way over to her room.
Sixty-eighth times a charm, right?
A knocked on her door lightly.
"Hey Reni, it's me again. I just want you to know that I love you so much. You don't have to go through this alone. As long as I'm here, you will never be alone. I got your back through thick and thin. I hate when you lock yourself in your room and cry yourself to sleep. Reni, you don't have to wipe your own tears, that's what I'm here for, I want you to cry on my shoulders until you can't cry anymore and let me comfort you. Serenity, please let me be there for you." my voice cracked.
I was so afraid, so afraid that depression would get the best of her and influence her to take her own life.
I refused to let her believe that she wasn't loved. If nobody else in this world cared about her, I needed her to know that I cared. I always will as long as there is blood running through my veins and air in my lungs.
"Trinity I just want to be left alone,"
"We're twins for heaven's sake. You weren't even born alone. I'm always going to be here for you, so stop trying to get rid of me. You've been pushing me away for an entire month! Please talk to me, Reni."
