Amelia's POV
Adam was really upset when I saw him before. He wouldn't tell me what happened. I really want to help him because he looks absolutely devastated. His eyes were red and he looked as if he was crying.
I went downstairs and saw Claire who looked like she'd been crying as well. I went to her and hugged her tightly.
"What's wrong?" I signed to her.
"I think I should just tell you now, but Nicole is dead, she killed herself," Claire signed, her face softened.
I stood frozen and was saddened by what she told me. I wanted her and Adam to marry each other when they were older and they'd have kids with each other. She's gone. Tears fell down my face and I sobbed into Claire's arm. I let go and started walking towards my room.
"Wait, she left something for you" Claire signed.
Claire went to the counter and picked up a DVD disk and handed it to me. It was inside a plastic case and it had my name written on. I went upstairs and to my Dad's room. He had a DVD player in his room. Adam was sat on the couch, upset as ever. I hugged him tight before placing the DVD disk in. Nicole's appeared on the screen and I pressed play. She started signing to me to my surprise.
"Hi Amelia, I'm sorry to say that I won't be here when you'll be seeing this. I just wanted to say that I love you so much. You're literally an amazing girl who never fails to make me smile. You're adorable and extremely talented. I love all of your paintings you've done. They're so beautiful. You should start selling them. More importantly, I want you to take care of Adam. Make sure that he carries on with life because he doesn't need me. I trust you to do that. Also, I have been learning sign language of YouTube for the past couple of weeks so I can talk to you, it took me a while though. Bye Amelia, I love you," she signed.
I noticed that Adam was watching as well. I saw him as he stared at the screen as the tears fell down his face. I went to him and sat down in front of him and wiped them off with my thumb and hugged him tight. I never let go and we stayed in that position for a long time.
It's sad that she's not here anymore. The thing that was bugging me was why did she do it? There must've been a reason to why she felt like she could not live another day. There must've be something that was causing her a lot of pain.
I looked up at Adam.
'Why did she do it?' I signed to him.
'Because people were bullying her, and I had no idea of what they were doing.' He signed.
'It's not your fault, it's the people who were bullying her fault,' I signed.
'I swear down they will pay one way or another,' he signed back. He stood up and left the room without another word.
What's he going to do? I can't lose him. I stood up and went after him but he had already gone. I went back to my room and grabbed my iPod and texted Adam.
'Don't do anything stupid' - Amelia.
I got up and put on my coat. I put on my shoes and stepped outside. It was extremely dark but I needed to see Stacey and Mark and the rest of the family. I felt really bad for them. I wiped the tears that were rolling down my cheeks and began walking.
I felt someone grab my shoulder, making me jump. It was Dad. I hugged onto him and I cried into his arms. He picked me up and took me back inside. Nicole was the nicest person ever. It hurts to think that people were being horrible to her.
'I heard what happened,' he signed.
'I don't know where's Adam's gone, I'm scared for him. I was going to go see Nicole's family,' I signed.
'You need to sleep now, they must be upset, let's visit them in the morning. I'm sure Adam will come around, I'll go find him, you go to bed now,' he signed.
I hugged him once more and went upstairs. Dad left the house. I went to my room and got ready for bed. I took off my hearing aids and put them in the tub. I went to bed thinking of Nicole. I couldn't go sleep. I went to Dad's room and watched the DVD of Nicole again, hoping the inevitable. Hoping that she'd come back.
