silence1540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5SVQhAh8sf
I'd like to think, that once the night sky spreads its wings and brings the dancing stars to light, and wretched, sinful Isabelle still hasn't returned home - I'd like to think that perhaps her parents might regret the words they said, might regret the palms of their hands stinging red against my face.1540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZmaGfGLsG
I pray for them. For Isabelle. And for Maddy. I pray for answers.1540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdA10njZyoT
A hundred days have made me older1540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV49sNhW71G
They told me that God loves us all, and will always be with us; but now, tears streaming onto my clasped hands and down into the river, silence is the only response.1540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj4rNeEmXvD
A thousand lies have made me colder1540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVRSh6MQRVH
They never met her. Never met Maddy. They heard her name, spoke to her parents, but they never met her, and I hate them for that, more than I hate them for the scars on my cheeks.1540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4L2I4aowpI
They just heard about her. And when they did, they forgot about Isabelle, that poor girl became me; the one they couldn't love. Their daughter was killed by a phone call.1540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSFFdOTZ8Nz

We were lying about why I was there, and we were lying side by side - lying side by side, earphones in to maintain the charade of studying - I could've lived in that moment forever. Just holding her hand in mine, knowing she was right beside me, seeing what I was seeing, hearing what I was hearing, feeling what I was feeling.1540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaNSRAS0wUo

And then Maddy's parents called mine.1540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfjTLFFjAf
The memories tear at me from the inside out, trying to escape into a reality that I lost so long ago.1540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrlMHZ7fxhN
I lay my head down in the river, floating hair making a red halo on the surface of the water, newly sprouted reeds grasping desperately at my scalp.1540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHcZwWaOP7n
The touch of the water makes me gasp - but it's no colder than I've felt for the past year.1540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIz30AJdIHP
I slowly push off the bank with my feet, and as my ears submerge, I can hear her singing the song, the song we both loved so much -1540Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmULqqyDwfx
