Alexis pov

2 days and she didn't pick up the phone, came online on Whatsapp or answered my text. I was worried, is her phone broken or is it lost? Every minute I looked at her last seen but it's still 13-09-2015 18:30.

Her last text she sent me was: 'I'm going out, talk to you later.'

I knew where she lived, I didn't thought about it twice and parked my car before her house. With a deep breath I stepped out and walked to the portier. I searched for her last name Martinez and pressed the bell. It went open and my heart almost came out of my chest. She must be home! I almost flew over the stairs to her apartment flour and with a heavy heart I knocked on her door. When the door opened, I felt butterflies all over my stomach what made me want to puke.

'Alexis?'

'Hey, I didn't knew you were here in londen.' Her brother stood in front of me. I gave him a hug but there was something different about him. He suddenly hugged me tight.

'Is Sophia here? I called her but she didn't pick up.

'You don't know?' His face went pale in just one second what scared me.

'What do I need to know?'

'She... She died two days ago, in a car crash. I thought you knew and...'

I felt my heart breaking in million pieces, It was suddenly hard to breathe. I grabbed the handrail from the stairs so I won't go out of balance or fall from the stairs and pass out.

'Are you ok?' I heard David voice. 'How? Who was in the car with her?'

'She had a date.'

I didn't knew it was possible, my heart broke again. She didn't told me she had a date, or seeing someone.

'But there is something she wants you to have. She has it like when you two were little.' He opened the door and let me in. I walked in and the whole house was almost empty. There were boxes on the ground with her name on it.

'Why are you guys taking her stuff so fast?' I asked him.

'I'm going back to Chile with my parents and we are leaving tomorrow. Nobody wants to do this so I thought someone had to do it. At least I'm alone and don't have to see anyone else or hear another person cry.'

He gave me an envelop and looked at me. 'She told me that, the day that something happens with her that I need to give this to you. And when you loved someone else I had to burn it.'

I frowned my eyebrows.

'Read it and if you have any questions. I am here.' He said. When I grabbed the envelope the tears were falling from my cheeks and when I saw him looking at me. I dried my tears quickly and apologized.

'Don't apologize, I cried too.'

I gave him a hug again. 'You can also come with me to Chile for her funeral. At least you guys won't have to fly with a public plane.'

'No It's ok. You don't have to and we already have the plane tickets.'

'No David, at least I can do something.' I stopped him and he nodded.

'Thank you Alexis.' He said soft but hard for me to hear.

'I am sorry, again.'

I will be always sorry that she never told me that she had a date and I never told her how I felt. Maybe that would've stopped her going to that date, in that car.

Could've I stopped this? All these toxic thoughts got me feeling more terrible than I already was. I looked at the envelope and opened it.

Should I read it?
