Sucide Letters

"What's going on out here?" Erin's mom called as she came bustling down the hallway. "Courtney?" She called.

"Everything is just fine," I answered quickly stepping off of Tennessee. "We just needed to have a little conversation." Tennessee stood quickly and keeping her head down low, avoiding looking into anyone's eyes. "Sorry to disturb you."

"Tennessee what are you doing here so late hunny? And Courtney don't worry you didn't bother me. I don't sleep much anymore." Her voice cracked and I sensed that sleep evaded her for the same reason that it evaded me.

"I just needed to give this to Courtney, sorry for the inconvenient hour mom." Tennessee responded shoving an envelope into my hands. Erin's mom nodded and went outside to smoke. "This is what we call a suicide letter. She asked me to give it to you the day she killed herself." I took the letter carefully and watched her walk outside and drive away. Hopefully for good.
