It's been three days since Bella slipped into a coma, and she still hasn't opened her eyes. The strange part is, I'm worried. Deeply worried. I thought I'd want her gone, that I'd feel nothing but satisfaction, but instead, I find myself watching her chest rise and fall, afraid it might stop. The doctor says she'll live, that it's just a matter of time.
I stood by her bed, my fists clenching at my sides as memories flashed through my mind. That day... the day Cherry took her own life, I was in a meeting when my phone rang. Her mother's voice came through-broken, trembling. I remember the way my whole world went blank when she told me Cherry was gone.
I was destroyed. Completely. I couldn't understand how the girl I loved so deeply could give up like that, until I found her diary.
