When my mum and Alicia went for Nate's trials and court hearings, I spent most of my time in her room, playing dress up or getting manicures.
I knew I could not be with Lily anymore but still, a part of me could not accept it.
I walked into the room. It was painted purple. Everything in her room was the same as it was the last time I saw them.
Her collection of sneakers was still intact but one pair was missing. It was definitely the one she wore to the hospital.
I sat on her bed and looked around the room, reminiscing everything I had done with Lily in there.
I went to her desk and opened the drawer. There was a letter addressed to me there. That was very typical of Lily.
'Kassy, I know how you feel knowing I hid so much from you. I saw how you were hurting with everything going on in your family and I did not want to be an extra problem.
