LEETEUK

13 Nov

Today was Lizzie's birthday.

My little sister was finally turning fifteen. It was so hard to believe. It seemed like only yesterday she was still begging me to carry her up on my shoulders or bring her to get ice cream. Looking at the Lizzie now, she was much more quiet, a sweet girl with a sweet smile.

I was proud of her.

We had taken her to a nice buffet dinner and a movie, but she was even more quiet than she already was and didn't seem to enjoy the celebration much. I wondered if it was due to the lack of presents, but Lizzie would be getting her much awaited birthday present soon, a polaroid. My parents and I had it all planned. Once we got home, we would bring the cake and polaroid up to her room and surprise her.

She would love it. We got home around eleven at night, and Lizzie headed up dtraight to her room, silently climbing the stairs and then shutting her bedroom door gently. I was beginning to think that she was upset because of something more than just presents.

Was it to do with Kibum?

Kibum was my basketball junior and Lizzie's love interest. She was obsessed with hi. She lived and breathed every single second just because of him. To make things worse, Kibum already had a girlfriend. I could never understand her obsession, but whenever I suggested she give up on him, she would look so mournful that I would shut up and change the topic.

Ironically, today as Kibum's birthday too, and I knew for a fact that she had made him cupcakes. She had tried so many times to make the perfect ones for him. I remember peeking into the kitchen and seeing her sobbing over her burnt batch of cupcakes. I had wanted to go and comfort her, but she had suddenly sobered up, dumped the cupcakes away, and then started on a new batch.

She was that headstrong. She had always been, since birth. When we used to go to the beach and the sandcastles we made wouldn't stay, she insisted on making the perfect castles before leaving even though she knew the sea would just come and wash it all away later. But that was Lizzie and I was proud of her for being so determined.

"Ready Teuk?" my mum asked. I nodded, grabbing my camera to photograph her expression later. Together, my parents and I crept up the stairs and tiptoed to her bedroom. My mother put one finger to her lips and we all grinned at each other.

11:11:05

My mother throws Lizzie's bedroom door wide open.

11:11:07

My parents start to burst into the tune of happy birthday.

11:11:10

I raise my camera quickly, wanting to catch her very first emotion, but the singing suddenly stops.

11:11:11

Click, goes the camera. 

And then suddenly my mother is screaming, so loudly that the window panes have started to tremble. She drops the cake and it falls to the ground, splattering into a myraid of colours; white, blue, purple, red.

Red.

That is the colour Lizzie is now. It is the colour that is spilling from her wrist. The colour is sticky and thick, and it is forming a puddle on the floor.

My father starts to yell too, and together with my mother they lift Lizzie off her chair and fling away the penknife in her hand. My father takes out his phone and dials for the ambulance, and he is talking so fast I have trouble understanding him.

I am aware of my mother running towards me, Lizzie in her arms. I am roughly knocked aside as my mother clatters down the stairs with Lizzie and I hear her wails. My father hurries after them, brows creased with worry, and I am left alone. noticed by no one. My mind is blank, except for one image.

Lizzie, sitting on her chair, facing the door.

Lizzie, her black hair falling around her shoulders.

Lizzie, her head cocked to the side.

Lizzie, her eyes glassy and empty.

Lizzie, her wrist sprouting blood.

Lizzie, her frail form.

Lizzie, dead.

The image shines brightly in my head, because I have captured it on camera. I reache for the camera, and it is still there, haunting me. I want to delete it, and I move my thumbs over to the delete button. But yet, I cannot delete it. The image of Lizzie just me in, right into it, and I am left in a daze, slumped onto the floor, foolishly gazing at the camera.

Lizzie, dead.
