Ari is dead. (@ Chris bc I'm curious and mean)
“I’m sorry--what?” The words out in disbelief, half chuckled in his inability to believe them. He stares at his parents, expecting...something (no, no, no, no). A familiar twinkle in his father’s eyes, a twitch of his mom’s lips but there was nothing...no smile, no light, just a hollow blank look only outdone by the pain in their eyes (nonononono). Chris got to his feet, not even realizing he was standing up, rushing out the words and almost as if he was trying to deny it everything with the power of his own disbelief. “That’s ridiculous!! I just talked to her this morning! She-she had plans! She was gonna...she was gonna...she was gonna...she-she-she was gonna go shopping with Ryan!!”
It said a lot that Chris actually used his name (nonononono). The young man fumbled around, pulling his phone out of his pocket and dialing his baby sister’s number with shaking fingers. Desperation was starting to leak into his voice, eyes wide and panicked and in denial, “You’ll see! Look, I’m calling her right now!”
It went straight voicemail (nonononono). This is Ari, leave a message or whatever it is you came to do. He dialed again. This is Ari, leave a message or whatever it is you came to do.
And again.This is Ari, leave a message or whatever it is you came to do.
