She is quiet like the sun.

She reads all day.

She sits alone.

She has no friends.

She tells no one nothing about how she feels.

She simply just sits and reads all day.


She says she understands that her mother is busy all the time.

She says she understand that her father died two months ago from cancer.

She says she understands that her mother has two jobs.

She says she understands that she has to make her own dinner every night.

She says she understands that she has to stay home alone every night.


Ring! Ring! Ring!

Molly answers the phone.


[ Hello Molly .]

[Hello Mom.]

[ Is everything good tonight?]

[ Mom everything is just fine.]


Molly why are you lying?

Molly Why can’t you ask you ask for help?

Molly why can’t you accept that everything is not fine?

Molly? Molly?Ask! Ask! Please! Please!


[ Alight baby, mommy loves you.]

[ I love you too.]

[ Goodnight.]

[ goodBYE mom.]


It has been two hours since Molly got off the phone with her mom.

She sits on the kitchen counter.

She gets down and opens the medicine cabinet.

She grabs the sleeping pills her mother takes when she can’t sleep.

It is recommended to take one a day.

But Molly takes TWENTY sleeping pills.


(9:00 am) Monday morning.

Molly’s mom enters the house.

She walks in the kitchen and sees Molly laying down on the kitchen floor.

Molly!? Molly!?

Tear drops falling out of her eyes like a rainy April Morning onto Molly’s face.

Molly talk to me ,Molly talk to me please!

Molly wrote a note and left it on the ground right besides her.



[ Dear Mom,                                ]

       I love you, everything is fine. But I just have to leave you and reunite with daddy. I’ll see you in a few years when you come and join us. Once again everything is just fine.

                                     p.s. Don’t cry , it’s fine.]



(9:30am) Molly’s mom calls for help.

(10:00am) At the hospital Molly is dead.
