Turn Me Out

Sapphire

I had been calling Violet for an hour now and no answer. I got ready for school and head to the door to take the bus, I was in such a hurry I bumped into Elijah,

"Oh good morning Sapphire." He said

"I really can't talk right now." I said walking away

"Okay I won't talk to you just let me drop you." He offered

"Ok but drive fast I'm worried about Vi i haven't been getting her from morning." I said walking behind him

I quickly jumped in and we sped off towards school, five minutes later we got there. I jumped out before the car stopped and fled to her room with Elijah behind me. I banged on her door no response, I banged even harder still none. By now a crowd had formed and Elijah sent someone for campus security, pushed me to the side and kicked open the door. I rushed in and saw a bowl full of pills, wine spilled on the floor and the glass bottom between her middle and index finger I rushed over to her and saw foam at her mouth, she was pale and cold. I lifted her lifeless body sitting her up and sat down allowing her body to rest in my hands like curdling a baby

"Elijah, she's so cold." I said crying

I covered her body rocking her and humming her favorite song.

"She's so co-o-ldddd" I cried as my voice broke. I let out a horrifying scream holding her close to my chest rocking her back and forth in my arms and broke down.

"The ambulance are on their way." Someone said

I cried so hard that Elijah tried to take her from me but I wouldn't let her go, I looked around and saw a note on the dresser telling Elijah to pass it to me.

Sapphire,

my best friend, my sister I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for abandoning you, I'm sorry for leaving you with no other family nor friend. I'm sorry for not telling you about my problems but I had been going through it and I felt like no one cared. Yesterday I'm happy I got the last day with you. I tried to tell you Sapphire but you had problems of your own and I understood that, do me a favor and put me to rest in peace by justifying what Logan did to me, he raped me the night before and i have the bloody sheet in my room to prove it along with my body, I had no choice Sapphire this was the only way to stop the pain and I hope you can forgive me baby girl. Be happy for me and live your life, I love you, Goodbye.

I looked down on her beautiful face and I felt mixed emotions to all these, anger, sadness, numbness, remorse and I sat there for a minute in total silence when the paramedics barged in and took her from me. The police came shortly after and took statements from Elijah and I, I gave them the note and they collected it and the sheet as evidence. Logan was then arrested seeing him I should be the one arrested for murder cause i wanted to kill his bitch ass. They pronounced Violet and I could feel the stares of pity and some of disgust and jealously from how Elijah was holding me but I didn't care. I just wanted my sister back and right now.

Elijah

I carried Sapphire to the car but before I could get there she fainted. The paramedics did what they could to regain her consciousness then taking her in the hospital to get a full check up and then i took her home to lie down.

"Oh your home, wait what's wrong?" Jane asked.

"Mom she's not working tonight and that's final, I'll explain to you later." I said

"Of course, no problem hunny." She replied looking on Sapphire worried.

I rested her on the bed and tucked her in lying beside her and wiped her tears as she cried in my chest.

"Shhhh, sleep baby." I said

I held her and rocking and humming to her.

"Guess what, I got divorced." I said waiting on a reply

I looked down and saw that she was sleeping. I got up slowly and went downstairs to mom in the kitchen.

"Eli what happened?" Mom asked

"Her friend that came here, Violet, committed suicide last night."

"Oh my god," she started crying

I held her because I knew why and this is hard for us, her mostly because she blames herself.

For my father killing himself.
