She hadn't left her bed in twelve hours. She hadn't slept, eaten, used the restroom. She just stared at the ceiling, hoping they'd barge into her room and tell her it was a cruel joke.

Honey sat on the end of her bed for an hour before leaving her a tray of food on the bedside table and leaving. She knew he was hurting just as much as she was. He'd just lost his best friend, after all. She knew he'd cried all night last night.

She couldn't find the strength to shed a single tear.

The thoughts flowing through her head were dangerous, deadly, poisonous. She just wanted them to go away.

All of them vanished when Aiko barged in through the door, arms spread wide, tears already flowing.

"Daddy isn't coming back, is he?" Aiko sobbed. Sophie felt a shuddering breath let its way through her mouth before she erupted in terrifying, guttural sobs of agony.

"I want daddy, Soph." Aiko cried after an hour of just sitting and hugging.

"Me too." Sophie whispered.
