"Bye Anden!" I say in a fake chirpy voice and a smile that feels plastic. I step out into the brisk Denver night and give the valet boy my parking ticket. I wait in front of the Elector Primo's mansion and I absent mindedly touch the teardrop ruby necklace around my neck. I wear it almost constantly now, even though it brings back the memory of Day, and just picturing him shatters my heart over and over again. I just can't bring myself to abandon the only part of Day that I can hang on to. "Ms. Iparis? Ms. Iparis? Your car is here" The words of the valet boy snaps me out of my daydreams and reply simply "Thank you" I tip him and get into the car.
Once I am in the car with the safety of darkened windows, I finally allow myself to let the act drop. I start the fairly short trip home and turn on to the back roads that I always take home, even though it makes the trip longer, it helps me calm myself so I take it as often as possible. I take a few deep breaths relieved that I don't have to plaster any fake smiles on anymore, at least until tomorrow at 7:30. T he memories of the beautiful boy I used to be able to say was mine envelop me. I remember the first time I saw him, and his shockingly blue eyes threaten to overwhelm me. Tears well up in my eyes but I dare not let them fall, because once that first silent tear falls there will be no going back. For now, I am forced to compose myself because quiet jingle of my phone's ringtone is going off in my pocket.
I flip open the small republic issued phone and answer with my fake chirpy voice. "Hey Anden. Whats up?" Anden sounds sad when he answers "Hi June, are you sitting down right now?" This statement makes me cautious of what is coming next. Just to be safe I reply "Ya, why?" with a light breathy laugh. "Well, I'm really sorry you have to find out like this, but I have some bad news." He pauses for a short amount of time (23 seconds), takes a deep breath and continues "about six months ago, when you and Day were getting examined by the doctors, they found an irregularity in his brain. It turns out that after Day's trial, the scientists took a piece of his brain to examine. He was expected to die quickly after that, but he didn't and by the time our doctors found out about it, the healthy brain tissue and unhealthy brain tissue were too intertwined. They never had a chance of saving him. He died earlier today, this is the first I have heard of it. I'm deeply sorry for your loss"
