Alicia: The girl who wasn't expecting this ✔️

😈 Chapter 28 - Alicia's mothers POV 😈

• Alicia's mothers POV •

Josie had posted a letter into my letter box which I was surprised to see.

I picked up the letter and made my way to the kitchen.

"Mail?" Eric asked.

"Yer, Ali's friend sent it over." I said.

"Well, are you gonna open it?" Eric asked.

"Okay." I said.

I looked at the front of it, "it's signed for the both of us." I pointed out.

"Then read it aloud." Eric said whilst slipping his coffee.

Hey mother and step- douche Eric,

I want you to know that I wasn't happy.

I always wanted my real father back.

Sometimes I felt like you were really ignorant about my happiness and only concentrated on your own.

Now I realise that was just selfish of me.

I'm sorry I couldn't be the daughter that you always wanted, I'm sorry I was a pain, I'm sorry I said all those hurtful things and I'm sorry for being so ignorant.

Just know that I love you all and I hope you can understand why I did what I did.

It's just father had always been that missing piece of the puzzle that I needed in my life.

But I need you to know that the reason I did what I did is not because of you, but because of the 'hell' of everything.

School, the lot.

I just felt so shitty with my life and I felt this was the only escape.

Anyways I love you with all my heart,

Alicia x

"Why'd she write that?" Eric asked.

"I don't know." I said honestly.

I quickly called up Josie to figure this out.

"Hello?" Josie asked.

"Josie what's the letter about? Where's my baby?" I asked panicked.

"Ali made the letters because-" she paused.

"Because what?" I asked impatiently.

"Because she killed herself." She blurted out.

"She killed herself in the school girls bathroom, using a shotgun to the head." She said.

I looked over to Eric, "how do you know?" I asked.

"I was walking by when I heard the gun shot. I ran into the girls toilet and saw her laying on the floor with blood splattered everywhere." I heard her cry.

"Oh god." I said.

I then pulled the phone away from my ear.

"I told you not to keep a gun in the house?!" I shouted at Eric.

"What?" He asked confused.

"My daughter killed herself today, using your gun?!" I shouted.

"And now she's dead." I said whilst dropping to the floor.

Tears poured down my face, causing my vision to blur.

"Josie?" I asked.

"Yes." Josie replied.

"How did you find this letter?" I asked.

"She left them behind in a box, she asked for someone to hand out all the letters which I did." She said.

"Was there anything else?" I asked.

"Yes, in the box was all her favourite photos she hung up in her room and there was one letter left which she gave specific orders for." Josie said.

"And that was?" I asked.

"She said that for her one wish she wants the letter that says 'Everybody' to be read at her funeral, and that she wants you to read it." She finished.

I choked on my own tears, "she wants me to read it?" I asked.

"Yes, it's what the sticky note said in her box." Josie said.

I just nodded my head and said 'ok'.

"Thank you." I said then hung up.

I let the tears and the continuous sobs ruin me.

My baby is gone! My own child is gone!

I felt Eric rub my arm but it didn't comfort me.

My baby girl has now been taken away from me.

My own baby!
