Empty.

Void.

Hollow.

Xavier along with Liam and Talia left three days ago. It was a hard goodbye.

But goodbyes are never easy, are they?

Selena came to visit me the day after the burial and she looked healthier. She was obviously here to offer her condolences and stayed only for an hour.

Everybody's been trying to talk to me but I barely respond. I know, I'm not the only one going through it but I'm the one to blame. It was supposed to be me.

I should've been dead.
