Dearest Petunia,
You have always been our brave and strong girl. I was hoping you were going to visit before it was too late, but it seems you were busy. Your father passed away last night in his sleep. I don't feel like I have many days left either.
Know that I have always loved you as much as your sister,
Mum

Tunie,
I need you. It happened. You didn't believe me, you never had. Mum and Dad have passed away. Dad passed away first. The doctor said his heart gave out on him during the night. There was nothing they could do for him. Mum passed the day after, they suspect she was too heart broken to continue. Whether it was the loss of Dad, or the breaking of our family -I don't know. I saw a letter addressed to you amongst Mum's things at the hospital. I've attached it above.
Please write back to me,
Lily

Petunia broke down. This was all her fault. Her family fell apart, and she had abandoned them when they needed her the most. Blinded by jealousy, she allowed her parents to slip away with the thought that she no longer loved them. All they left behind for her was Lily and as much as she didn't want to face it, she knew that she had to mend her relationship with her sister.

Lilith,
I am sorry. For not believing you. For abandoning our family. For treating you terribly. For making you feel like an outcast. Recently something has been happening and I need help. Vernon he h---

She couldn't do it. Petunia crumpled up the letter and tossed it into the trash bin. She buried her face into her arms, sobbing. It always ended this way.
