The Light We Lost

Chapter 6

I and Julie got inside our house and I laid on the bed while she was bathing. I knew I was not gonna sleep today and maybe I was not gonna get a good nice sleep as long I was here. I lied on my back and stared at the dark ceiling. My mind was full of thoughts about Maggie. I knew it was not fair to Julie, but I could not help myself. I started to remember all the moments I had with Maggie. Her beautiful smile, and long hair. Her jokes were not funny, but if I did not laugh she would get angry at me. Her beautiful gum-smile always made me have bubbles in my stomach when she showed it. When she got embarrassed her face was like a tomato, she was just too perfect, too nice and always acted like she was okay...

I don't know why I'm thinking about her. The look she had on her face was too much to bear. She looked so astonished in a sad and bad way. What is she thinking right now?

Maggie's story:

Tuesday 8:42 pm

-mom, can you stay with me until I'm asleep? Esme asked while lying on her bed.

-of course, I can.

-thanks, mom, and can you read a book to me or sing me a song?

-I'm not the best singer, but I can read a book, I said sarcastically and looked for her favorite book

-Do you think this will do? I asked her and showed her one of her favorite books "The little prince"

-yes! Esme shouted and smiled.

-okay, here we go. Once upon a time, there lived a......

I kept reading and reading not realizing she was already fallen asleep.

-Esme, Esme... I whispered checking if she was still awake. Her long eyelashes were so beautiful and she looked so cozy. Just looking at her makes me smile. The way she was sleeping was so funny. She slept like a star, only that both her right hands and leg were not on the bed. Her head was a little on the left side and her mouth was open. Her tongue was out and she looked like a dead person. I bedded her and went to my room. I looked at my phone to check if I missed any message, but there were no messages. I looked at the phone empty, I did not know why I was looking at my phone screen. My heartfelt heavy, I felt broken... I was broken....
