Join Us

Author's Note: I do not own Girl Meets World. Disney does.
It all started when Lucas died on Riley's 18th birthday. He had been on his way to the party that night when a shootout between a cop and a robber who stole $500 from a convenience store broke out. A stray bullet meant for the cop hit him straight in the head. He died instantly.
Next came Riley, who shut herself out after Lucas's death. She refused to see anyone but me because we were best friends and she got worse and worse every time we talked. She talked about how she could hear Lucas calling to her in her dreams, begging her to join him. I tried to get her over Lucas's death but, nothing worked. Her heartbreak hopefully ended when Topanga found her body in her bed; her wrists slit with a pair of scissors.
She didn't leave a suicide note.
Farkle was devastated, which wasn't surprising 'cause we all knew that he had a crush on both me and Riley. His mind started to slip further and further and further each time he heard Riley's name; said that Riley and Lucas called to him too. He talked to himself a lot and his grades started to slip before that night. He held us hostage and shot Topanga before turning the gun on himself.
Right before he did it, he looked me straight in the eyes and said, "Join….".
Both Cory and Auggie were worse than how Farkle and Riley were, Cory kept on crying after the funeral. Auggie kept on praying and praying for God to give him his sister back. I never really talked to them or tried to help them due to fear of causing them more pain. It wasn't until I walked in on Cory's and Auggie's bodies slumped at the kitchen table one morning that I regretted it. Arsenic. He gave Auggie and himself Arsenic for breakfast.
He wrote five pages of the word, "Join", for his suicide note.
I'm hurt too, I'm wounded like an animal in a trap and the feelings are eating me up inside. But there's no-one to talk to, not my therapist and definitely not my Mom. I still hear Riley and Lucas and Farkle and Topanga and Cory and Auggie calling to me in my nightmares. I can smell the fire and the burning smoke. I don't want to do this but, I can't take it anymore. If you find this, please, just tell my Mom one thing.
Tell her that I joined them and that I'll see her soon.
