You'll never know how shocking a news can be when it come through email. Somehow the impact is different although it's meant to be the same. There's this eerie silence when u read it, even the music is drowned out and the world will stop n u think for that split second, and then the fact hits you in the face. You open your mouth to reply to it but realise that it can't talk. U can't ask why or what on the spot, then you start thinking what happened and where we'll go from here. The next thing, everything flashes across your mind and the first tear comes out in the corner of your eye. Your body feels different, you start to soften and somehow your bones lose a bit of their support. Before you know it, you have to start pulling yourself together again.
