Chapter 15-Lana's POV
Sadie. Gone. Never to smile again. Or laugh. Or sing. Or dance. Or cry. Or anything. Ever again.
I fall to my knees and cry. Cry and cry. More than before.
I don't think I'll ever be myself again.
"Alana? Are you in there still?" Either Connor or Karter says.
"No," I grumble.
"Ok I'm coming in"
The boy walks in, and I notice a lighter brown strip of hair.
"Connor. What do you want?" I say
"I'm guessing you figured it out?" He says, looking upwards again.
"Y-yeah. Why?"
"We're having a funeral tomorrow. I just wanted to know if you wanted to make a speech or whatever," He said.
"Yeah, I w-will do it."
"Ok. Oh, and mom says you can stay home from school if you'd like."
"Great."
"Well now I'll be all alone," I look upwards and see a boy version of myself. Well, only in looks.
"J-Josh? What are you doing?" I say
"Just came to see my sister. You know I can tell when you're upset. And even Karter knows you're a wreck right now," he says. I guess it is obvious.
"How long has it been?" I ask.
"Since when?" Josh says.
"Since you guys got home. How long?"
"Few hours maybe."
"Ok," I sigh.
"What time is it?" I ask no one in general.
"'Bout 2:00," Josh answers
"AM?"
"Yeah."
"I'm gonna go to sleep. Please get out," I say. Truth is, I'm just gonna start crying again.
"Ok, good night," Josh says leaving the room.
Connor pulls up my fuzzy round chair, and sits down.
"Connor I said get ouuuuuuut," I groan.
"I know you aren't tired and that you aren't going to sleep. I'm not going anywhere," he says sternly.
"Connor,-" I begin
"No." He interrupts.
"Please!!"
"I'm not moving."
"Fine. But I'm going into the bathroom," I say, running into my bathroom and quickly locking the door.
I hear Connor sigh, "Fine. You're depressed. I respect that. I'll leave now, bye. Don't do anything you'll regret."
I hear him exit the room and close the door. Slowly, I walk out of the bathroom.
'Don't do anything you'll regret,' he said.
The words won't leave my thoughts. Anything I'll regret? I look around the room and notice a bottle of Advil. I walk towards it, and grab a handful.
I get a glass of water from the bathroom, and hold the pills out in front of me.
I shake my head and place them back in the bottle. I can't do this. I know that things will get better... At some point.
