•After the funeral •

"How ess doin" juice asked
"She ight she takin it hard"
"Mann that's crazy tho we literally just seen her now she's gone."
I nodded and looked around at everybody
After the funeral Essence went up to our room and we haven't seen her since . I just told everybody to give her some space.
Sharmane was one of her childhood friends so she's really going through it
Even though I didn't get to know her all that well I still feel a sadness.
The kids might go to Sharmanes great aunt so we might not have them as much as we did in the past
Ms. Holden (sharmanes Aunt )walked In with the kids (Aaron & angel)
"How are you I asked her"
She had tears in her eyes
"I'm trying to pull it together I just can't believe that someone would kill her like that we should've got her help sooner"
I hugged her
"The detectives are gonna find out who did this don't worry you just make sure to call me if you or the kids need anything"
I looked down at Aaron .. I just want him to understand what's going on
"Odell"
"Yes ma'am"
She dug in her purse
"Here a letter sharmane wrote for you and Essence they found it at the crime scene"
She handed it to me
"Should I open it now"
She nodded
I began to read

••
I put my head down and broke down
"What goin on" Mr. & Mrs walker came over to me and ms. Holden
I handed them the letter and put my hands on my face
Mrs. walker covered her face as she read it
Then tori and Jarvis came over
I felt a weight lift off my shoulders when I read that
"I'm gonna go show Essence"
•••
Essence pov
I was lying in bed crying my eyes out
I feel like this is all my fault
I maybe could've helped her out more
*knock knock*
I wiped my face
"Come in"
Mama walked in with a slip of paper
She sat next to me
"I know this is hard for you but I want you to read this"
I started reading
^^^
To Essence & Odell

By the time your reading this I'm probably already gone . I just want to tell you Essence I'm sorry for everything, truly not because I know my time is coming but because You deserve an apology . What I did was wrong and below the belt and I want you to forgive everything I've ever did to hurt you ...You and Odell are amazing to my kids you care for them like like they are yours. so I want to leave them with you two because they have a bond with you. I failed as a mother a friend a sister a daughter etc and I don't want my children to fail like I did . I know the both of you will make sure they are straight no matter what .
Thank you for everything
