Lily wasn't home yet. I liked the peace and quiet. That was all I wanted right now. My head was pounding and the last thing I wanted was someone asking me a million more questions. I threw my keys on the counter and walked to the bathroom. My eyes were red and starting to swell up. I sighed and turned to the shower.
"Bath or shower?" Hearing my voice was weird. It was lower and very groggy. It must have been from yelling at the officer. I stepped into the shower and turned the hot water on. It ran down my back making me relax like taking hot showers always did. I leaned my head against the wall and let the water go down my face.
"I'm so sorry Hannah." the lump forming in my throat hurt. I couldn't hold back the tears anymore. Hannah was gone and there was nothing I could do about it. I let myself cry for not only the pain I was feeling but also for Hannah. It wasn't her time. This wasn't right. I let the water continue to go down my face blending with my tears.

I pulled into the drive way. It was well after eleven o'clock now. Chris' car was here. How long had he been home? I wasn't gone that long. Was I? Inside the house was quiet. Well all except the shower being on. I figured he would be taking one. He always did when he was stressed or upset. I went into his room and sat on his bed. Next to his bed was a picture of him and Hannah as kids. My stomach twisted into a knot. I hated how much he cared about her. It seemed like he loved her more than me. Guilt instantly filled me. I shouldn't think like that. Especially now. I got off his bed and walked to the door taking one more look around then shutting the door. The shower was still running so I went to my bedroom. things were different now and with Hannah gone even more. I looked up at the ceiling.
"This sucks." Chris was already distant from me and most likely would be even more now. Everything was always about Hannah. Never me. I needed to do something to get his mind off of this for awhile. I smiled, I knew exactly what to do. I grabbed my phone and jacket. This idea would take care of all our problems. Then maybe for once he would look at me like he looked at Hannah. This would be perfect.
