too much wine

Kaylee’s funeral was heart-wrenching but beautiful. In her casket, she lay there wearing a white dress with a pink scarf around her neck. I’m sure they added it to hide the bite marks from the wild animal.

I cried hysterically and sat next to Liam with my parents on the other side. Many memories were shared, among laughter and tears. I managed to hold it together until I thought I saw Constin standing behind her casket. When I blinked and looked again, it was someone else. I didn’t understand why he wasn’t calling or texting me.

The day after Kaylee’s funeral was the first day back at school. I wasn’t done mourning, so I called the office and told them I needed a few more days.

Wednesday came too fast. I wasn’t ready to go back, but I had to. Before class, I saw Maria and Liam talking. I approached them.

“Why are you talking to her?” I said looking at Liam.

“What?” Liam said.

I stared Maria up and down. “How do you know Constin? Huh?”

Her eyes widened. “I met him a few days after I moved here, and we started dating. Didn’t he tell you?”

Liam backed up with his hands up. “I’m not in this girl drama. I’ll talk to you two later.”

My heart sank. “No, he didn’t. Why did you tell him about my dreams?”

“He asked about who my new friends were, so I told him about what happened to you in the bathroom. I’m sorry.”

I sighed. “Do you know where he is? He’s ignoring me.”

She stood there thinking. “I saw him yesterday walking hand and hand with someone his age. He’s a player. That’s why I dumped him.”

“I have to go.” I walked to class, digging my nails into my hands, trying to hold my tears back.

I sat there listening to the teacher talk and couldn’t help but look over where Kaylee used to sit. The empty space produced such an overwhelming wave of sorrow within me that tears came out like a raging waterfall. Between her death and Constin seeing another woman, I rushed out the door and drove back home.

After throwing up from crying so much, I sat at the kitchen table and tried to eat oatmeal to coat my sour stomach. I felt a little better, so I walked to my room and lay down, looking at pictures on my phone of Kaylee and me being silly. I continued scrolling through and came to the photos from the vacation in Romania. I felt at peace staring at them, especially the ones I took of the mountains.

I wanted to call Constin and tell him off, but I chickened out. He wasn’t worth it. I turned over, fell asleep for a few hours and woke up screaming and crying. I needed to talk to someone. I called my parents, but they didn’t answer, so I drove to their house.

When I arrived, they weren’t there. I looked at my phone. It was 6:30. Where are they?

I called Mom, but she didn’t answer, so I called Dad, and he didn’t answer either.
