I'm Okay

11:47 PM

I sit there on the bench, my long platinum hair all disheveled.

My breath could be seen as I exhale slowly, the cold wintery night wrapping around my small frame.

I pull out my phone, opening up a message. My thumbs glide across the screen easily, as they tap out specific letters.

tae:

i hope you know i'm sorry. 

and that ill miss you 

i hope you'll miss me too

sent. 11:51 PM

A small smile curls on my lips as I notice all my capitalization mistakes.

I set down my phone beside me, my darkened brown eyes looking up at the empty rails that sat a couple feet away from me.

I lower my eyes down to my body, looking over my last minute outfit.

An oversized pink fluffy sweater. Black leggings. Black sneakers. 

So simple.

I stand up, walking over to the rails and standing in the middle of it.

I could hear the train from a distance.

I look down the tracks, seeing a small light slowly growing bigger and bigger.

My breath hitches as I think about the last seconds I had.

I closed my eyes as the train's wheels scream at me to move as it tries to stop itself.

It was deafening, but I didn't raise my hands for a second to cover my ears.

"Tae!"

I hear a couple of voices scream my name, all of them belonging to males.

Belonging to 618. My family, specifically.

I hardly turn my head to face them, as my lips curl into a small sad smile.

"I'm sorry."
