My eyes were swollen, and my vision hazed with the tears that threatened to fall.
My gaze fixed on the photograph i held in my hands, this was black and white and the ends were already moist from the tears that had soaked the paper.
"Sometimes i wish you were here. With me" I sobbed, shaking my head before turning away from the photo.
The photo of both my dad and mum in her wedding dress, the only photo i had of both of them.
I turned look at my snoring grandmother who laid so peaceful with her eyes closed.
It was as if every direction i turned was just pain, each moment, i felt

AALIYAH"You were the last person she came in contact with that night" She started with a glint of suspicion in her eyes."And from the content of the text messages you exchanged, you didn't seem too happy about Jeff?" She said, laying emphasis on that night. "You said and I quote, you lying son of bitch" She said again. "I didn't do it, I swear" I interrupted.

JACQUELINE"I can't be here again, you don't understand, I'm innocent" I yelled as they pushed me into the poorly four cornered room with the only thing fixed, her gaze.She ruffled through some papers before adjusting her glasses to get a good glare at me, it was adms if she patiently waited."So what's your story?" She asked, terribly frustrated on sighting me.It's like she was tired of the corners of this case that she wanted it to close so badly but bye grin her partner gave as i walked in, he seemed the opposite.He was intrigued, almost excited."Actually, we want to know less about you and-" He paused."And more of Wu and her involvement in the murder, there's no covering up" He said with a sheepish grin.

She asked a simple question as my hands quivered on the other side of the table."Maria Esteban Ramos" The investigator fluently called out.In a frail attempt not to make eye contact, she stood before walking over to me."Which of them?" She asked."It was none of them" I replied."None of my girls are capable of murder" I said, mostly to convince myself."Then maybe you are" She replied as she crossed her legs."You all had lots of enemies, probably even amongst yourselves" She said, lowly."She jumped, didn't she?" I lied, wiping my tears."I don't know what you heard, but she was murdered" She walked back to her seat.

"You're contracting, baby's coming out soon" You could hear the sound of her hands against the gloves.Jacqueline's head was tilted and her eyes faced the ceiling, refusing to look at Harry who was barely holding himself together in his blue scrubs and the napkin he had against her sweaty forehead.She was weak, feeble as if it were her first time. She couldn't believe she'd have another this soon, and all she could hear was the sound of their voices the night they talked about it.NINE MONTHS AGOThere was still a box lying on the kitchen counter.

You could hear his brief chuckles and my loud giggles as i almost tripped.He halted to catch me in his hands. His arms wrapped around me as the winds breezed into my face, swaying my hair to the sides. I wore a smile on my face as it all moved slowly——i was here, not mentally but in this exact moment. Physically, in a short white dress and a veil that had fallen along the aisle. And i wanted to stay here. I wanted to always be here.He gripped me a little hard that it began to tickle and i pushed him away to the ground before making a run for it. I ran towards where the sun was setting and where i could still see Maria and the other people and the wedding canopy that we had set.Just a few of us, family. That had always been here for the big and small moment

WUI had always wanted to bring her flowers, but not like this, not at her grave. It was shimmering with snow that dropped to the ground.And my boots were buried in it whilst i stared at the red flower i had dropped it. I looked to the chair that was beside, snow on the seats before i sat in. My gloved hands wrapped my elbows as i moved my head warmer. Each breath i took gave accompanied with a chill. It was freezing out here.But i didn’t care. I just wanted to see her.“Anyways Fox is going to spend time. Life probably, i just don’t want to know or get myself involved in anything like that” I said, as if we had been talking for a long time. Silence dawned as i looked to the gatekeeper. He was already used to me coming here since the past few months and talking to a corpse. I wasn’t crazy, he knew it.He would often say how i wasn’t the only person that came here to do it. The truth is,

JACQUELINETWO MONTHS LATER"The loss of a someone close to us is perhaps one of the deepest and most sensitive we will ever come to experience. It can be difficult to process these emotions and work through the stages of grief" I had started out, calm as if i’d gotten my emotions in check. You could hardly believe that i was the same one that broke out in tears a while ago.I cleared my throat, staring Wu in the eyes, who had nodded to give me a sort of encouragement. I then breathed heavily before i carried on."To say Aaliyah was selfless would be an understatement— She was more and to a lot of us, even more. She tried her best to brighten our lives even when she was living in the dark" I paused.I had read all the articles to prevent me from crying when i passed the eulogy. I had read about remembering to breathe, eating befo

WUEverywhere was silent, the door had finally stopped swinging as the nurse went back out. The same nurse that had wheeled me in. I sat in my chair in front of the bed in which she was laid open.The nurse had raised the sheets over her head but i was sure that she was listening. I had hoped that she was listening.Jade.Tears overwhelmed my eyes before they fell down my cheeks. The tears that were more than enough to ache the throat and make the voice disappear. I searched for the words to say as i finally saw her unconscious body, laying across the bed. I didn’t know it was going to be this hard to do this.“J—” I couldn’t get passed the first letter of her name as my voice quivered. I was shaking, as i buried my face into the tissue in my hands. I snorted in it before heaving in a deep breath.“Hey Jade” I broke into uncontrollabl

I could hear my slow groans as i was intubated.But alas, my eyes were open and i could see Leila walking slowly towards me with Wu beside her and the only question asides who wouldn't have thought——Was the inevitable one of whether or not i was willing to let go. But the choice was not up to me.If not, maybe i would have chosen to stay and then my eyes fell her. With whom i shared so much of a striking resemblance with. Who would've thought?My own sister, Ayeesha.-There was a light that flashed behind my eyes. The light, before my eyes shut wide open. Dele was beside me and Diane, and Wu.“I’m so glad you’re awake” Dele said, clenching my p

JACQUELINEAaliyah walked towards the door, twisting the knob to slide the lock out of place. I could see her shadows from beneath her door. It had approached after knowing merely twice. And then the door swung open to reveal her in an apron——and a half wide smile. “Jacqueline, now what are you doing here?” She asked, sticking the tips of her fingers into her mouth. “I just came to see you” I replied as i walked in, closing the door behind me.NOWI walked in, brushing shoulders with the sheriff that was just about to take his leave from Wu’s room. I trailed him with the corner of my eyes as the door closed behind him. They were scattered around the halls i had noticed. And Wu was seated up, against her pillow which was against the wall.She looked better.She was better. She had a bandage wrapped around her left wrist and one around
