One:

" I'm fine, I'm fine. Everything's going to be okay." I sobbed to myself, my tears blinding my eyes.

I sobbed, my chest shaking with the force of my tears. They ripped me apart, even further, something I thought would be impossible.

I shook my head, they thought I was just bitter, and angry. But couldn't they see through my lies? I was broken, beyond repair, I don't think I can make any more of an effort.

Suddenly the sadness that coursed through me was terrible.

One word left my mouth with a bitterness and vulnerability that was in no other.

I threw the vase of flowers Emily sent me against the wall, the glass cracking and the water dripping leaving stains on the wall.

" LEAH!" cried Seth,

He ran inside my room, took one look at me and then at the vase and shook his head.

I fell back against the wall, my body shaking and my face crumpling up in sadness.

" Lee." Whispered Seth, he was crying too. He lost his father too.

" Come here." I called to him, he ran into my arms and we sobbed together.

Our tears collecting and our breaths shaking till we both fell asleep.
