I awoke around the time of 3am to find the whole house dead quite. What was going on?? Normally i could at least hear Isabelles brothers snoring or even Isabelle heavy breathing but this morning was different. It was complete almost deadly silence.
I looked around the room to find Isabelles bed tidied away no sign of her ever being here. But i suddenly spotted a peice of paper with a neatly scribbled note on the inside.
'Dear Hayleigh it hurts me so much to say goodbye to such a wonderful friend i consider you my sister you have always been there for me no matter what and for that i am eternially greatful i know its not been easy living with me for the past few years and im really sorry for the way i acted. I love you with all my heart and will miss you so much. But know one thing we will see eachother again no matter what i will make sure of it.
PS I dont want to leave you but you have to trust me when i say its safer for all of us if i did
Love you always
Isabelle'
I was stuck in place what did she mean it was better for everyone if she left. She didnt know what i was feeling right now to be honest even i didnt know what i was feeling i missed her so deeply and knew now the whole from my fathers death had healed but it now fealt everything was just ripped apart from the seams. My whole world was crumbling under me and i dont know if i was quite ready for this to happen all over again.
I was wide awake now no sign of sleeping i felt so destroyed that the feeling was sickly. I decided to go in to Mi Madres room and crawl into her bed which to be honest i havent done since Mi Padres death. This seemed to shock her as she jumped slightly but just welcomed me into a big hug and tucked us back in trying to help me get back to sleep. She obviously knew what happened and didnt want to say anything as she proberly guessed thats why i was here in the first place.
*the next morning*
I woke with Mi Madres arm draped around my waist but then a sudden kiss to the cheek made me jump more.
"Happy happy birthday!!!"
Oh how could i forget today was my 14th birthday but to be honest i wasnt in the mood for my birthday all i wanted was Isabelle and her brothers to be back.
I went through the day happy and excited for Mi Madres sake but deep down i just wanted to crouch into a ball and die as my life felt like nothing without Isabelle she was my sister and not only did i loose my sister but my bestest friend.
But when Mi Madre handed me her present there was a birthday card and a photo album with pictures of me and Isabelles favourite times together.
I pulled it off Mi Madre and started scrolling through it. There was the time where we were on the swing outside the house and i fell off and Isabelle jumped off her swing to kneel down beside me and laugh to attempt to make me feel better. Remembering these times was amazing eventhough it was sad it was amazing to have all those memories flush back.
I went through to my room and placed the photo album on my bed before going back through to Mi Madre hugging her and eating some birthday cake.
I must have eaten like 4 slices and now i was feeling sick tired and somewhat alone.
I kissed Mi Madre and thanked her for the amazing birthday and went up to my room scrolled through the photo album until i came across one picture that made me stop in surprise. It was me and Isabelle sitting on the fishing deck me resting on Isabelles shoulder watching the sunlight draw.
