The Words He’ll Never Forget…
Lily had locked herself in her room shortly after sending that message. When her mom got home and couldn’t get a response, she forced the door open. Lily was unconscious. Paramedics arrived within minutes, but it was already too late. No one knew how long she had been there. Later, David went through her phone, trying to understand what he missed. There were messages she never sent. Drafts. Lines she typed and deleted. “I just needed someone to talk to.” “I didn’t want to be alone today.” “I wish you came home.” David sat there for hours, staring at that last message she actually sent: “I’m fine ❤️” Two words he will never hear the same way again.
