scarlett:

i just came back from the hospital, where they officially pronounced aiden dead.

i could barley even drive back, my hands were shaking and i couldn't see because of the tears streaming down my face.

i was currently in my room, not doing anything but looking up at the ceiling. i was lost in my thoughts, and i couldn't help but day dream about my life before all of this happened.

(daydream in italics)

"aiden! we've missed you so much!" my mom yelled, giving aiden a bear hug.

he just came home from college for christmas break, i was more than excited.

"how's school bud?" my dad asked him, giving him a hug.

"good! everythings good. i did good on my exams, great actually." he smiled, proud of himself.

i was next to get a hug from him.

"scarlett, my favorite sibling!" aiden laughed, pulling me into a hug.

"im your only sibling." i said, faking a frown.

"yeah, well you're still my favorite." he said, laughing at his own joke.

"well, you're my least favorite." i joked with him.

wow, my family was close to perfect back then.

i had a family back then...

as i looked at the ceiling, i could literally feel my body aching.

have you ever had such bad emotional pain, that you could feel it physically?

my parents are dead, my brother's dead, who's next? who's next to be taken away from me?

i looked at the time on my phone, 11:34am. i also had texts from grayson and kathryn, and snapchats from everyone.

i decided to open everything, just so i had something else to think about for 5 minutes.

grayson

me

grayson

me
idk

i opened my texts from kathryn...

kathryn

me

kathryn

yeah, for real this time.

me
mhm, he wont he back for a very long time

kathryn
dont say that, he always pulls stuff like that he'll be back in a couple days

i then went on snapchat, and all my other social media. after that, i went through every app on my phone, even the ones apple puts in themselves. i was trying to stall, to think of something else, but it obviously wasn't working.

i tried to sleep, but it didn't work. the images of aiden in the bathtub were haunting me, and i couldn't deal with it.

all i could do was lay in my bed, and do nothing.
