We stayed in this position for a long time. Maybe minutes? Maybe hours? I had no idea.

I cried into Luke's chest until there were no tears left. He sat with me, stroking my hair and occasionally offering me a tissue.

After a while, I looked up at him. "Why are you so understanding?"

He sighed. "Everybody goes through hard times. But never forget this. Even the darkest night will end and the sun will rise."

"It's just... I don't know. Three days ago, I was living a perfect life. I was happy. And it all came crashing down, destroying everything I've built in less than a day."

He nodded. "Only know you've been high when you're feeling low."

I looked at him, amazed. "You know Passenger?"

He smiled down at me. "Of course I do."

My stomach grumbled and Luke smirked. "Hungry?"

I nodded. "Wanna order some pizza?" He asked.

We had eaten pizza while watching several movies, and it was starting to get late.

"I don't want to go home." I stated.

Luke smiled at me. "It's ok. You can stay here if you want."

"I don't know. I mean, I don't want to bother you. You already did a lot for me." I rambled.

"You would never bother me."

"Thank you. It means a lot." Than a thought crossed my mind. "I should probably contact my parents before they call the police."

He chuckled. "Probably."

I grabbed my phone from the coffee table and turned it on for the first time since I left the hospital.

17 missed calls. 21 unread messages. 7 new voicemails.

Shit.

I didn't open the messages or listened to the voicemails, I just sent a message to my mum.

Please don't worry about me. I'm at a friend's house. I'm okay.

I turned my phone back off.

Luke wanted me to sleep in his bed, but there was no way in hell I was letting him sleep on the couch.

"No. No. I am not making you sleep on the couch. I am not sleeping in your bed. I'll be just fine on the couch."

He sighed. "Fiiiine."

It was dark. It was cold. A circle of people all dressed in black were standing in a circle around something I couldn't quite make out.
Where was I?
Looking closely, I realized I knew the people standing there. Mum. Dad. Em.
Were they crying?
That's when realization hit me.
A coffin. Flowers.
A cemetery.
A funeral. My funeral.
I screamed.
