The Way She Smiles

20

Dear World,

She's gone.

I didn't get to her fast enough.

She hung herself in her closet.

She left me a letter with the art teacher at school.

I cried.

She died.

It's all my fault.

It took everything I had in me, every ounce of energy, to tear open the envelope. When I finally did, a picture fell from it. It was a picture of her smiling.

This was the first time that her smile ever made me cry.

This is what the letter said:

I just want you to know that I love you and that it's not your fault. I think I loved you before you loved me so it's more of my own fault. I also didn't have to tell him but I did.

These past few months have been the best in my life. Even running away with you was fun. I've been getting worse but I want you to be fine. I'm fine now.

Please be fine. You didn't fail, you did save me. I'm ok now. I'm safe now.

I know how much you loved to see me smile, even though you never said it, so I took a picture and left you that. I hope you like it. I took like five hundred of them before I found the perfect one. LOL

I know you're crying right now so please stop. I want you to be happy. I want you to laugh. Please read the stared parts out loud, ok?

Knock knock

*Who's there?

I eat map

*I eat map who?

LOL eww

:)

Remember? That was the first joke you told me. I spent the next few periods laughing at it.

Anyways, I'll miss you but you're not allowed to miss me, ok? I'll watch over you. I love you very very much.

Lots of love,

Her

I can't. I just can't not miss her.

My heart feels like it's shattered into a billion pieces. Just like her dad's recently fixed windows will be.

He's going to pay.

Her mom is going to pay too.

She could have stopped it but she didn't.

I could just kill them both.

But I won't. They deserve to suffer.

Physically and emotionally.

Maybe I'll just hurt them a bit.

Maybe.
