Sara's Mother walked over to me and put
her hand on my shoulder, her other hand
tightly clenching a white handkerchief.
There was mascara smeared all under her
beautiful emerald green eyes and tears
running down her face like the raindrops
on a car window during a stormy day.
Sara's Mother had always been a very put
together women but today it was
different, she was wearing sweatpants and
a sweater that swallowed her entire torso
and part of her upper thigh, but this wasn't
what surprised me, what surprised me was
her hair. Sara's mother always had the most
besutiful hair, she cherished her hair and
always made sure it was done neatly, but
today it was tangled and unfixed, like she
had just woken up. As for her father, he
was wearing his work clothes, which was
only suprising because he worked nights.
Sara's mother looked me in the eyes and
tried to collect herself enough to form a
sentence. She cleared her throat and
managed to sputtered out the words "callie
dear, theres been an....incident" I froze "this
morning we went into Sara's room and...
we found her hanging from a rope tied to
her ceiling" she broke down crying, as she
could not muster up the courage to say
another word. Soon reality hit me and I
realized what was happening, my best
friend, the person whom I told everything
to, the person who I thought would be by
my side forever, was gone. I didn't know
what to do, I locked up as every emotion hit
me and I didn't know how to react , I
couldn't even cry, or find any words to say.
I fell to my knees and everyone was around
me trying to do something, anything, to
comfort me and tell me it was okay, but I
didn't care, nor did I hear them, all I heard
was the echoing sound of silence and
realization that she was never coming
back.
