I picked up the phone, Finn immediately started talking. I didn't know what they were saying, I didn't understand the words, like they were speaking a whole new language I couldn't speak. I tried to focus on the call with Finn but my brain kept producing pictures of Charley. Charley on top of a High building, ready to jump, Charley with a knife in her hand, ready to stab or slice, Charley with a ton of pills, ready to drug herself to death, Charley next to a lake, ready to drown herself, Charley in her room, all alone, cutting her wrists.. Unknowingly I started crying again. Finn's voice through the phone woke me up out of my day dream nightmare.
"Hey Alex! Are you okay!?"
"Yeah... I-I'm fine"
"I texted Charley."
Their voice sounded harsh and thick full of kept in tears.
"And? What did she respond? What did you say?"
"I told her that she had to stop it right now, that she couldn't do this, that we love her, that she has to keep fighting"
"What did she respo-..... she didn't respond did she?"
Finn's voice broke.
"No she-she didn't.."
" we lost her didn't we?"
"We did.."
We cried together through the phone until the sun raised. We knew we lost her. I asked Finn if they could send it to the Vent chat, they did and everyone was terribly sad. We called with all of us, and we all cried.
