A Letter From Holly

knock knock

My stomach twisted and turned. The reason for this I don't know. All I knew was something wasn't right. I grabbed my headphones from my side and blasted my music on full volume. After that I couldn't hear anything, but I felt the movement of my family members and I could smell my mother home cooking. I sang along quietly until I heard something. It was loud as if it was filled full of desperation and anguish. Slowly, I stepped out of my bed and pushed my ear against my door and once more I heard that strong sound...

*knock *knock. Then I heard my Dad ask this someone to come in. I decided to come out my room, but the further away from my room I went the more I felt I was in steak. I was Shaking like a hurricane so I decided to stop and sit. At the top of my steps I tried to listen , hearing more than I needed to.

The first voice I heard came from a woman who I do not know, but she spoke with such sorrow. She said "I'm so sorry Mr and Mrs cooper, we have reached out to Holly's family and they would like for you to know that holly had passed away because of a terrible tragedy".

I couldn't move. I couldn't even cry. I stopped shaking. I stood up - slowly and walked into my bathroom. Well I knew why I came , actually I had been in this position before. This shiny blade had once before touched my arm, but at that moment did no harm. I took me less than a second to plunged trough my skin, but my memories were alive and would move across my mind. Once I kept a promise to a girl, even though it was more like a deal.

" why " she said about 100 times" .
I cried
"If you ever even think about doing that again I will do it to myself ten times worse".
I could tell she wasn't joking so I said I would never again cut myself.
" promise" she said
And so I promised.

Thank you to everyone who read this. I will try to actually finish this story and also update it maybe every day.
