Chapter 2: Something's Wrong
Aidan, who snuck out of his house, is at the park. Meeting up with his soon to be girlfriend, Piper Fig. He knew he's feeling sad, but there are so many more emotions that he can't process. He knows his parents will try to sugar coat the situation, but he's smarter than that. He skipped a grade for God's sake. He just needs someone to talk to about it. Someone who he hopes will help. Aidan waited at bench in the park, Piper finally showed up about 5 minutes later. She showed up smiling, looking cute in her new outfit that she had just bought. A pastel pink skater skirt with a red cropped knitted cardigan and pointed red flats. She sat next to him and kissed his cheek. But he wasn't into it.
"What's wrong? You usually love when I do that."
"Something happened to my sister and I need to trust that you won't tell anyone."
Piper thought to herself "ugh always bringing up your dreadful depressed sister." But she just looked at, waiting for a response.
"I think she killed herself. Ambulances were just at our house and my parents kept me out."
She was shocked. She wasn't expecting to hear something like that today. She couldn't think of anything to say, just continued to stare.
"I don't know what to do or who to talk to." He did so good holding back tears, but it was no use, he began to tear up.
"Why did you think I would be helpful? I mean, I'm sorry, but I don't know what to say." She replied.
"I know. I just needed to tell someone. Someone who would just listen and not judge me for crying."
"No one will judge you for crying over this. I just can't help you." Pip got up and walked away.
She left Adian sitting there with no one to talk to and broken. As she was walking away, she pulled out her phone and texted a group chat. One with Missy Lynn, Daisy Smoller and Cole Huntly. The text read:
Omg, Aidan just told me that Kayleigh offed herself!!
D: No way! That sucks.
C: ... I barely fucking knew her, what'd you want me to say?
P: at least try to care or pretend
...
P: what should we do, Missy?
...
P: Missy??
Missy Read 7:18pm
Aidan went back home and snuck back into his room. His door wide open. "Great." He thought. "My parents are probably terrified." He went downstairs and couldn't look them in the eyes.
"Where were you? We were worried sick!" Sadie yelled.
She ran up and hugged him.
"I'm sorry I snuck out. I just needed some air."
Sebastian leaned against the kitchen counter in silence. He's never quiet, he's always happy, laughing, outgoing... But this. This is serious. As it should be.
"Aidan, your sister's in the hospital." Sadie kneeled down and had her hands tightly on his arms.
"I figured. Is she going to be okay?" I asked.
"I'm sure of it."
"She's not." Sebastian added.
Sadie turned to him. How could he be so morbid? So.. So.. Awful?
"I'm sorry. But I saw her. I found her."
Sadie was speechless. She was sad and angry. She just couldn't with anything, so she walked into her study. Leaving the silence to return. Aidan and Sebastian without a single thought. Sebastain left and went to a bar. Aidan just sat in his room, listening to music. After a bit of doing nothing, he started to feel curious. He had to see her room. He walked into her room and for some reason, he felt as if he had to go to the desk. An energy pulled him towards it. He noticed her notebook. The one she always had. He began to look through it, cautiously. Noticing that every single page was dated with every page having a note of sorts. Aidan made it to the last pages and realized she has been writing her suicide note since she were a freshman.
