I got out of my taxi and headed to Maya’s apartment. Tears formed as I was about get out of the car. I couldn’t believe that I have to come here. Here today a week before her funeral.
I took three huge deep breaths and then went inside. I hated myself for not knowing that she could kill herself. Why did she do it? Why did she do the one thing that she knew could break my heart.
I mean what could I expect from her. It's not like she would talk to a sixteen year old girl about her problem.
As I enter the key onto her apartment door I close my eyes and hoped that she would pop in front of me and say it was a joke. But I knew it wouldn't happen.
Memories started rushing back into me mind like a bleeding cut.
I opened the door and went inside.
“v, can you believe I got an apartment.”Maya squeals
“I’m happy for you.” I hugged her from behind.
“see when you graduate you can live with me.” She expressed.
“I hope I do get to love with you.” I smiled.
We were happy that day. My sister always wanted her own apartment away from my mother and there are reasons for that. But I can't blame her my mother is not nice to her.
Maya saved up a lifetime for this apartment and now she had it. It's sad that it was gone before she could even imagine.
I started packing up some of her decoration me and her put out a year ago.
“No this one match the theme you wanted.” I told her as she picked up a decoration that didn't match at all.
“I want this one though.” She whined.
“no, unless you want to change for theme from modern to emo.” I say.
“fine,” she gave up.
She would never give up. She would never kill herself. She always kept herself together and I knew for a fact because he always stood up for me.
I went looking around her apartment and saw an old picture of me and her when we were younger. Thoses days we were the unstoppable duo. Sometimes I wish we were still kids and maybe we wouldn’t have the problems that we had.
Those times Maya wouldn’t give up on me when I got bullied. She would stick up for me and she of course like any other person does threaten them so she could make sure it wouldn’t happen again.
I picked up the picture and put it in a box. Then I got the rest of them and added them in. Tears streamed down my eyes and I tried to keep it together.
Knock Knock
I wiped my tears and headed to the door as I opened it. A tall man was at the door. His eyes were green as grass. His handsome oval shape face was formed.
“Hi, I’m the landlord.” He waved. “I’m Max, Max Ford.” He said caused chills down my spine. The deepness of his voice electrocuted me.
“I’m -I’m Vanessa Maya’s sister.” I stuttered.
“It’s nice to meet you and I’m sorry for your lost.” He stated.
I hate people saying I’m sorry for your lot because they don’t even know what there sorry for they are just sorry because they think that’s what we want to hear. But that’s not what we want to hear.
“T-Thanks,” I smiled as in the inside I wanted to go off him.
He shrug up and I could tell that he is nervous because he shrugged up and he kind of forgot what to say.
“I’m just here to say you have two months before all of this stuff has to be gone.” He growled.
Bipolar much.
How can once flip. First he was nice and then he was mad just like that. That is impossible. He must be bipolar.
“Get out please.” I shouted at him because he really pushed a sensitive button that made me want to throw him out of the window. I don’t know why but he irritate me for some unknown reason. Maybe I should throw him out of the window because I hope it’s true that a cat land on it’s paws because if that’s not true then he will be the next humpty dumpty.
He left the room and I was please because I hated him without even knowing him. I never want to talk to him again.
I closed the door and he
aded for the couch and saw pills. A full bottle of pills. It read Maya Blake. I never knew she took pills. The medication name was scratched out so I couldn’t read it.
My mind race after a second of silence. I knew my sister wouldn’t harm herself in anyway but I don't know how to understand. Has she changed so much I couldn’t even see. Was she really the girl who killed herself or was it more to the story.
I hated the thought of my sister giving up her life.
After an hour of packing I went to my hotel that's a couple of blocks away from here. I fell asleep soon as I got on my bed.
