I held her close while she cried. Even while crying she looked adorable. I turned her face towards me, and looked into her eyes. I gently brushed the tears that were streaming down her soft cheeks.
“Please stop crying Kat.” I begged. “Please don’t, tell me what’s wrong. You can trust me.” It broke my heart to see her so distraught.
“What if I told you I did something that can’t be erased?” She questioned, her gaze held mine and I saw a glimpse of fear in her eyes.
I softened, “What, Kat? What did you do?”
Kat sighed, “I took some pills. I swallowed some pills Nick, I didn’t mean to do it. I was so upset over Jake breaking up with me. I just-wanted the pain to end. I couldn’t handle it, I took a full bottle of Advil and Tylenol. I didn’t mean to Nick, really I didn’t!”
I didn’t understand at first. Then it hit me,”No Kat. Please no. Tell me you didn’t, tell me your joking!” I cried, and I cried and held her even in the ambulance to the hospital. And I was still holding her the moment she died.
