The Reason Why

Tay

It was another day at school. You know when you come home and your parents ask you what you did today. Then you just smile and say nothing much. Then they just ramble off about how you need to be more descriptive? Yea well that's my every day. I am abnormal girl, in abnormal school. Why can't I have normal parents?

This day was normal too. Until I came home. I just switched friends and I don't know I had a feeling we were growing apart. Of course I couldn't tell my parents this. Whatever, I was used to it. They were going through a hard time. My sister and I were really close, we told each other everything. Everything. It's so... Big. Why did we have to tell each other everything? Believe me, I loved it until that day. I got a text from her saying to come home. I thought to myself "okay she wants to talk about something." Mom and Dad have been pushing her about her grades and some other things, her boyfriend just broke up with her. I thought nothing of it really, she just seemed a little depressed. I came home.. And I saw her first. Her body was lying on the floor. Dead. There was a knife on her hand and blood dripping from her neck. Her head hung loosely from her body. She cut her throat. It looked disgusting , but I didn't care. I could see all of the things in her neck and I didn't care. All I cared was that my best friend, my sister, was dead. She was dead and I didn't know she was there. I could never have imagined this. I cried, my tears mixing with her blood. I laid on her dead, bloody, body and cried. My heart ached and my head spanned. Why me?!? Why me? I called 911 and then my mom. Both came at the same time. They loaded my sister on and then took her to the hospital. I don't know why, she was obviously dead. My mom made my sign up for therapy and crap. I don't really know, I just go and try to smile. We moved to a new city and we don't talk about her. Its like we just forgot about Taylor. Tay, my sister, my best friend. The last time we talked about her was at her funeral... 5 months ago. I keep my head down and try not to cry.
