Chapter 05

Sofía POV

―No. ―I sighed, hugging myself. ―It can't be true, there has to be some solution.

She can't leave me. I'm not going to be alone again. If that happens, they could hurt me. They are capable of doing anything to see me sink. No, please. Not again.

―I'm sorry, miss. ―The doctor in front of me spoke. ―Her sister had a heart attack. It has been impossible to do something about it.

"Why me?"

―You will be alone forever. Remember it. ―They said while laughing out loud.

I could barely keep my breathing calm. The news had hit me like a great stone hitting my face hard. They took away the only person who had helped me in my darkest moments. They took it from me like a sweet is taken from a small child, only I was not so young now.

―Keep crying, you coward. ―They yelled.

My sister disappeared. Everything was going so well, I thought that I could get out of this, that I would become someone normal for once in my life. Now she had gone very far from me, I had lost the only thing that really mattered to me, what motivated me to stay alive. I had completely lost happiness.

No one is more devastated than me, no one is having a worse time than me, no one is more alone than me. There should be a darker color than the black of the dress I am wearing now because that color would describe the current state of my soul.

I left my letter on that headstone and ran away from the cemetery before falling apart for the tenth time that day.

―I'll go wherever you are, little sister. ―I whispered. ―It doesn't matter what happens. It doesn't matter if they stop me from doing it.
