Trigger warning!!
- Mentions of death & suicide
---------------------------------------------------
I was sitting on the roof, I stared up at the sky "why did things have to happen the way they did?" I asked myself. It's a very cold but humid night and I just want to go home but there was no home from me to go to, well not anymore because I couldn't protect them.... My breathing started to get heavy and I began sniffling causing water vapor to appear in the freezing cold air, before I knew it cold tears began running down my pale face.
I brought my knees to my chest and began shouting.
"Why did they all have to die?" "Why couldn't I save them?" "It's all my fault." "I'm the reason they died and I'm all alone."
I'm crying and ugly crying at that, they hated when I would cry but now they're gone and I can't help being sad and angry. I've failed them and I'm disappointed at myself. I wish I'd died instead but they'd be sad, however I know they're in a better place now. "Please take good care of them." I prayed.
I just wanted to shrivel up and die right then and there but I have to keep living for their sake because I don't want to make them sad. Sunlight started to peek through the naked trees."It's dawn." I said as I climbed down from the abandoned cabin, I didn't realize how long I was up there because my mind was so occupied.
I landed on the crunchy fall leaves and wiped away my tears. Then I took a whiff of the fresh air, and started to find my way out of the slightly lit forest, " I can't give up just yet or they'll be disappointed." I said to myself.
