My head falls down as she closes her eyes. She doesnt open them again.
The tears dont stop as they finally begin to fall down my face. Warm and salty they climb down my face.
It feels like everything has emptied from inside me.
My crying becomes silent. "Nia." I say with a breath.
I open my eyes, looking at her. Shes so beautiful. "Ni'awtu!" My voice is worried. Her eyes arent opening. They should be. Shit.
My hand tightens on her hand as I wait for her to wake.
Our dreams. Ruined.
Shit. Shit.
"Dad," I look up to him. He sits across from me, watching as everything unraveled. He heard everything. They all did. "Dad." I say again. "What do I-" What do I do? Its like I need to do something. But I cant do anything.
Ive always been able to help. To do something.
It should have been me.
"Son, come here." His head grabs my head, pulling me into his chest. I sob. I dont stop.
I dont think Ive ever cried like this. I dont think Ive ever loved anyone like I love her.
"Dad, I didnt-" My sob cuts me off. "I didnt watch her!"
"Shhh." He whispers.
Tsireyas sobs come from behind me. Tsireya.
Ni'awtus sister. No.
What will her family say? What will they do? What is going to happen?
None of this can be real.
My love is still right there. Shes here.
