"S-Son, she's gone." "What do you mean she's gone? I survived, mom. She's alive too!" "We found her body last week, Pierce. You saw the body with your own eyes." "NO!" I shouted and grabbed my hair. "That's not her, mom! That's not her!" "Then who was it? You saw her face. It was her!" "IT'S NOT HER!" I shouted again and fell on my knees. I felt tears streaming down my face as I felt my heart ripping apart.
Mom ran toand wrapped her arms around me, comforting me. That's when I lost it. I started crying painfully in her arms as I continued grabbing my hair, blaming myself.
