TW: MENTIONS OF SU*CIDE/SELF H@RM
Kairi pov
Still remember that day, the day my heart broke.
They found him, his wrists slit in the bath tub, bloody water covering every inch of the bathroom.
I was there, when they pulled his body out of the water. He wasn't moving. He wasn't breathing. He was nothing, just a corpse.
I couldn't help the scream I let out, this couldn't be real. But it was.
An EMT pulled me away from the scene, he knew I wouldn't want to see this.
I cried into the man's shoulder as he held me out of the view of Mattia.
They took him away, I couldn't even say good bye.
The day of the funeral I couldn't stop the tears that continued to cover my face.
I went up to say good bye, and I almost threw up when I saw his body. He was ice cold when I kissed his forehead. I sat in my seat and cried silently, like I had been for the past week.
When it was my turn to make my speech I didn't bother to wipe the drying tears from my face.
I walked up to the podium and looked out at everyone, tears tracked down their faces the same way my own was.
Alejandro nodded at me and I knew it was time to make my speech, for Mattia, I kept telling myself.
"Mattia, IS my best friend. Mattia will forever be my first love. Mattia IS the love of my life. He changed my life, made me laugh, made me cry. Made me happy made me sad.
Well he got to make me sad one last time. Our daughter is going to have to grow up with out her daddy, but it's okay baby, she'll understand. She'll know you are an amazing man. She won't resent you.
I love you Mattia, I always have and I always will. And our daughter will too. She may not understand now, but she will.
I wish you were still here but I understand, you were hurting baby, and I'm so sorry I didn't see that.
I love you, Mattia Polibio."
Tears tracked down my face heavier than before and I stepped down from the stage and hugged my dad, crying into his shoulder.
He rubbed my back but he didn't say anything, no "it's gonna be okay." Because he knew that that wasn't gonna help. I'm thankful for him, for everyone, but they will never compare to the love of my life.
