Kelly rose

I reached for her hand gratefully ,we stood face to face for a moment. Her eyes were bloodshot, ghosts of tears still hovering
her face was drained of colour
her cheeks were tear stained
I didn't think she'd slept in weeks or maybe this ordeal had taken it all out of her
her hair was messed as though she kept running her fingers through it
i looked at her and wondered whether I was looking in a mirror
our eyes where exactly the same shade of green
our hair fell the same way
her black nails where chewed to the skin
she smelt of sweet flowers
and before I knew it we were both crying
tears streamed down her cheeks
I was finally letting it all out, and I wasn't alone any more
"I'm sorry," we snuffled simultaneously
I wiped my eyes with me sleeve
"that bad?" she asked
"the worst" she mumbled in reply
"wanna grab a drink?" she asked
I wasn't sure where it had come from, I didn't know this girl, but there was something about her."
I nodded in reply, biting my lip, but glad someone was finally here for me, and they didn't have to be
we walked up to a small cafe, we both reached for bottled water then veered away to a juice
we sat at a nearby table that was tucked away slightly
"family?" she asked me
"yes," i replied
"family?" I asked her
"yes," she replied
"my brother," we said
"took an overdose,"
