This was how it was going to be, this was the new normal. Like after her mom died but without the resignation. Like after her dad but now she didn't have anyone to be strong for, she didn't have anything to keep her from crumbling.

Getting up just to grab more kleenex, Chris drops back down on the bed, turning over her phone. Ryan had called earlier, leaving her another message, asking about Caiti and she hadn't called him back. She should turn the phone off, in case he calls again but she can't do that. Even though she knew Caiti was gone, Chris kept hoping for that phone call that would prove her wrong.

"I'm sure," she manages to say, barely moving her lips in a vain attempt to keep from sobbing. Eventually, she'd have to tell Ryan and soon they'd start planning for a funeral just like thousands of people were doing now and all she wanted was a miracle but that wasn't going to happen. This was it. Everything Caiti had wanted in life, all the plans she'd made and all the things Chris had taken for granted had died with her sister.

Covering her face with her hands, Chris cries.

"I'm so sorry," she says quietly and runs her hand up and down Chris's back softly, rubbing like her dad used to when her stomach hurt, trying to comfort Chris when she knows that there's nothing she can say or do to make things better.

When she finds the person responsible for breaking her friend they won't have a trial.
