The moment I knew

Chapter 25

The girls arrived home from the funeral, no one spoke a word to each other, it was silent, too silent.

"I'm tired, I'm going to get some rest" Liz said

"Okay" Julia smiled "Let us know if you need anything" Liz turned around and smiled at her.

The day went by and it was now the evening and Liz still hadn't come down stairs for anything

"I'm going to let her know that dinner is ready" Julia said and made her way upstairs "Lizzie honey, dinner s ready" she said but there was no answer. Liz stared blankly at the wall with her back facing Julia, she wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone "okay, I'll bring a tray upstairs and you can eat it when you're ready" Julia smiled. Julia returned back to the room five minutes later with a tray of food and a drink of water, "Lizzie honey, your food is here" Liz didn't move, her eyes were closed but she wasn't sleeping "Okay, well ill leave the plate here" Julia said placing the food on the bedside table knowing that she wasn't asleep. Liz still didn't move, she didn't want to talk to anyone, drink or eat, the only thing she wanted was for Angelique to go back. Liz opened her eyes once Julia left and continued to stare at the wall, tears fell down her cheeks again and she squinted tight trying to stop them but it didn't work, all she could do was stop herself from sobbing and just cry silently so that no one would hear her.

Julia went back to the room a few hours later after putting Avery to bed, the tray hadn't moved and Liz was asleep, Julia took the tray away and sighed and shut the door. 

"She didn't eat huh?" Carolyn asked seeing the tray in Julia's hands

"No" Julia sighed again "the poor thing, maybe I can talk to her, ill give her some time but ill talk to her in a few days"

"Yeah, sounds good" Carolyn said, letting out a small smile,  the two walked back down stairs and spent the rest of the night talking.
