Today is a very sad day for me. Today marks a year of me without my sister. She was sick, just like my mother but was worse. She was sent home because she said she wanted to die with her family, not strangers. Well while I was in my room and my dad was in the kitchen, she snuck into the bathroom and had a razor and pills hidden. Well let's just say she wrote us notes days before the incident that said she was in a lot of pain and couldn't take it anymore. She was hurting to much and didn't want to feel that pain anymore. She told me to be strong for dad and the worst thing about it is, I found her. We were so close and I don't know why she didn't tell me she was hurting. She didn't need to tell me though, I seen it in her eyes.

2 days from now will be the 10th year without my mom so it's gonna be a hard and tough few days. I've stayed in my room all today except when I wanted something to eat. Matthew and Cameron were still here with Abby but when Abby would come see me, so would they. From what I know, Matthew doesn't know about my sister, and I'm hoping it stays like that. I don't want him to know just yet. Today all I've been looking at was a picture book of all my sisters pictures. I made this for her when she was getting better. It has 1 or 2 pictures of every one of her birthdays, pictures of her in the hospital, as a baby, and some pictures of me and her. There were about 50 through 100  pictures of her. She was only 15 at the time of her passing. She would've been 16 in August but this year she's turning 17.

I wiped the tears from my eyes and walked downstairs. I seen Abby talking with the boys. "Hi." The word barely came out of my mouth. Matthew was the first to look up at me then Abby then Cameron. "Are you okay?" Matthew asked. "I-I wi-Ill be" I said stuttering. Abby came over to me and hugged me. I needed it.

"Thank you." I whispered in her ear. "Don't thank me." She said softly. "Want pizza? you've only ate a bite of an apple and then went to bed." She said holding my arms down. I nodded and we walked into the kitchen.
