"'Baby, I'm so sorry. I should never have made you get on that ride. I'm sorry. I know you can't read this but I need to say it. I am so sorry. I love you.'" Sophie read from her phone, choking back yet more tears.

"This shouldn't be happening." was all that Lollie could say. "Something's gone wrong. Something, somewhere has gone wrong."

"You sound angry... I'm sorry. The other one is from my mum. It says that she loves me.. So, what happened to you?" Sophie said quietly, slightly afraid of the hint of anger that rang out when Lollie spoke.

Lollie paused, unsure of what to say. Sophie let the silence linger for a few minutes before coughing, apologetically. "I'm sorry. I'll understand if you don't want to talk about it..." Sophie said, allowing her statement to sink in for a while. "Lollie..?" Sophie questioned.

"Sorry." Lollie said, quietly. Tears were forming in the corner of her eyes.

"You can't do this to me!" he had said, his heart breaking.

Lollie shook her head, trying to rid it of the memory.

"I won't let you" he said, determinedly.

Tears streamed down her face as she remembered the only person she had ever loved.

"I love you," he said, sticking the knife into her.
