After my death, the whole family began to love me Chapter 9

(Epilogue

I fell back asleep. I didn’t know when they left

Tom was sitting there

He was playing with something

I smelled something bad

He saw I was awake. He came to me with 

what he had been holding

Laura, I was going to come yesterday, but

was looking for something.” 

I found your letters. Why didn’t you tell me 

there were stamps in them?” 

It’s me, your brother. I like stamps.” 

I smiled

Tom liked stamps. Dad thought he was 

wasting his time, so I put the stamps in the 

letters

Tom never opened them

I took the letters. They were dirty

I opened them. Tom stopped me

The letters had stamps, and they were my 

secrets

I wrote something in each letter

Tom, do you like Sarah more? You’re a liar

You said you liked Laura best.” 

Tom, why aren’t you talking to me? I want to 

play with you. As long as you’re happy.” 

It’s my birthday. My first birthday since

came home. Did you get me a present?” 

It’s okay if you don’t like me. I’ll always like 

you best.” 

They were all my secrets

Tom looked at the letters

く 

The last one said, Laura will never like Tom 

again.” 

I held it up

Do you remember this? It was a week after 

Sarah died.” 

You made me kneel and apologize. You 

made me say I killed her.” 

You weren’t my brother anymore. I gave you 

to Sarah.” 

Tom was shaking. Laura, will you ever 

forgive me?” 

I didn’t say anything. I put the letters on the 

table

I lay down and closed my eyes

The Millers and Nick came to the hospital

talking

I didn’t want to talk to them

The sun was shining. I felt good

I looked at Maria

Take me outside.” 

I feel better. I have more energy.” 

Maria shook her head

I got out of bed

Maria hesitated, then teared up

I knew

It’s okay. They’re not here. Please.” 

The sun’s shining. Today’s a good day.” 

Maria stopped me in the hospital garden.

closed my eyes

It felt good

Something touched my hand

It was Nick. He put his head on my hand

I wanted to move. I didn’t have the strength

く 

Laura, say something. I’ll die if you don’t.” 

I shook my head

I’d said everything

I didn’t have anything to say

I closed my eyes

I saw Mom, Dad, and Tom running toward me

They were yelling

I didn’t want to hear them

I looked up, wanting to feel the sun

I felt a tear roll down my face

I was tired

Don’t meet me again

Mom, Dad, Tom, and Nick

Don’t meet me again

After my death, the whole family began to love me

After my death, the whole family began to love me
