I set my alarm for 5:30 am. I needed some time to temporarily erase yesterday. I check my phone and see a few texts. Cym. Mama. Mom. And Jay, Cym's older brother.
Cym 🧐🧐
Happy birthday I love you.
Mama🖤
Happy birthday, sweet girl. we can't wait to celebrate another year with you, honey!♥️
Mom
Happy birthday baby, there's a surprise for you in your bathroom. I hope you like it. You deserve it. I hope you have so much fun with Cym, Jydin, and Jay. I want you to always remember that I love you with everything I am and everything I ever was. You are my world. ❤️
Jay🌌

I roll my eyes and head to my bathroom. I see a beautifully wrapped gift box on the counter. I walk to it and pick up the card I hadn't seen before.
Abigail,
Today, your life is going to change forever. And it is not your fault. I love you. Goodbye.
Oh my god. She's going to kill herself.
I pick up my phone and dial her number.
"Hey Baby,"
"Mom please don't do it," I say, voice shaking, tears burning the carving on my cheek.
"Baby, it's not just me. It's Cason too."
With that, she hung up the phone.
My dad?
I open the box, afraid of what's inside.
It's an amazon box.
Inside, a new Mac book Air, Samsung Galaxy 10s, a credit card, a bunch of giftcards, and a manila folder with the words 'my will' written in Mom's beautiful cursive handwriting.
