Numb

Funeral

What is it like to be me? To the fact that people really don't care about you until you're gone and there's no coming back. Nobody really cared about me when I was even alive. People who I call 'my friends' never really were my friends because they forgot that I even existed. To the fact that I can't was cared upon? Many of you whose reading must be wondering and asking yourselves as to why did I even do this to myself? The answer? My life wasn't as perfect as it seemed to the public eye. Nobody knew what my real life was like and they'd never know, because I showed people what they had to see not my real true life and trust me, if I showed you what's it like to be me then you'd never even consider me as your friend. Truth be told, I was just an average teen who wanted to live life like how everyone led. Every child waits for their dad to come home from office and hug them, like how Bridget's dad is? She hugs her dad every time he comes from office and I've seen this. This would never be the case for me, why? Because my dad was killed in a war when he was in Vietnam and I literally couldn't do anything. 

After dads' death, all I had was Emma, Brooklyn, mum and my step-dad. Mum remarried her boyfriend after dating for just eleven months and I know that's messed up but we needed to be financially secure because we really didn't have much cash left. We invested so much for dads' funeral it was like spending every dime that we had. Hence mom married Johannes Cohen whose a businessman. Honestly my sisters and my mom loved him, obviously and that's how mom married him. 

Brooklyn-'SOPHIA!!!!!! Oh my baby, no no no no no no no no no, oh my baby, go baby go baby go baby go, no no no no!! Johannes do something please! She's my daughter no no no no! Oh no my baby no please no, stay with us please!' That's what mum said when she saw Sophia laying on the floor lifeless. The moment mom yelled out her name, dad and I ran up to her room hoping the least of damage that could happen. We thought that shortcake just fainted but obviously dad panicked and he ran over to Sophia and starting pressing her chest hoping that she'd revive from the dead, like as if she'd come back from the dead, but the truth be told, she never will. Nothing can bring her back from the dead, can it? I lost someone who was so close to me. Emma and I were never as close as how Sophia and I were. I lost my best friend and let's be realistic, some sisters are best friends and some are not. In my case we were. 

Meanwhile in Bridget's house- Hey guys, I just got a letter and it's addressed to me and all of us from Sophia's house, I have a gut feeling that there's some bad news beholding this in an envelope which looks like a letter. That's when Unnati said-'well, open it. Read it aloud sis, let us know what's written.' 'Yes, yes.' said Omom and then Armaan gave a long pausing look at me and he asked me-'what the hell are you waiting for, open it.' Dylan walked up to me and he said, give me that envelope. You look scared. Give it to me Briggie you're worried. 

Okay folks this is what the letter says- OH MY GOD NO! Ashleigh screamed. She was sad and she looked like as if she saw a ghost. She was scared. Well guys, the letter says- 'Dear Bridget, Dylan, Trisha, Ashleigh, Adam, Shawn, Unnati, Armaan and Omom we've addressed you guys personally because you were Sophia's friends, specially Trisha, Bridget and Ashleigh she was very open around you three. This is to inform you that Sophia is no longer with us and can never be with us because she has tragically passed away and nobody knows how. We've hired an investigator and a death officer whose gonna join your college in the next semester. Both of them are your age but has joined in late hence they will be around you because My Sophia might've held one of you responsible for her death. I've sent this letter addressing you all to come and attend her funereal today evening in Oahu Cemetery. Do come. It was our Sophia's last wish.' 

Wait, what?! Sophia died?! What! How? Sh-sh-she died? We go to the funeral and that's when her mother walked up to us and slapped me and then she started sobbing and started yelling  'IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU SHE DIED YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND OH MY BABY NO!

Officer Azriel and detective Riyan are to inspect the incident.
