1 day after, midnight.
Midnight on Monday, I got the news. Fucking midnight, when he died two fucking hours ago.
I scream, which is actually more myself breaking down. I curse, collapsing to my knees. It didn't make sense. It doesn't make sense!
Miles was happy! He told me he was fine!
But the question is; did he not consider how I'd feel if he died? Did it never occur to him?
Stop being selfish, Taylor. Imagine his parents, how they feel too, not just you.
By the time I manage to get back on the phone, I realise I hung up. I stagger to get to my feet, and it sinks in so deep I burst into tears.
Miles is dead.
I collapse onto my bed, planting my face into my pillow. I'm sobbing, and through the tears I'm asking myself "Why?"
I don't know how long it is until my eyes grow heavy and I cry myself to sleep.
~**~
Monday morning, things are quiet.
My mum doesn't say anything to me, except she just wishes me a good day at school.
Except by the time I walk into school, people turn to me. Eyes watch me closely, as if they think I'm going to breakdown. But I won't. Because Miles wouldn't want me to.
Instead of turning to my locker, I head straight to the bathroom.
My stomach churns and I end up heaving into the toilet. Then, tears start to fall and I lock myself in the toilet stall without another thought.
I don't go to class for the first two periods where I'd normally have Humanities. I can't stand people constantly watching me, asking me what happened. Because even I don't know.
At recess I call my mum, on the verge of tears again. I couldn't even find the point of waking up this morning, let alone going to school. Now I don't even want to face anyone in my classes.
Even so, back at home I go through the long list of school emails from people I never talked to, telling me they're sorry about Miles and they hope I'm okay.
But I'm not okay.
