last night at about 10pm i was upstairs in my room eating some curry and watching a really horrible horror movie, when britt came up to tell me and meredith that something was wrong with slater. we immediately dropped everything and ran down stairs.
as i walked out the front door of the HotBox i saw slater lying on the sidewalk at the foot of the stairs and i saw meredith clutching hannah about 15 away. i ran to the bottom of the steps and put my hand on slater’s body, she was dead. i ran over to hannah and meredith and hugged them as they sobbed into each other’s arms. i went back to slater.
there she was, lying ever so peacefully on the sidewalk, like she’d just plopped down for a little nap. she wasn’t bruised or bloody and her body was still warm. me, mere, hannah, britt, and brophy sat there at the bottom of the steps petting her and crying together. we still aren’t quite sure what happened.
i carried her inside and sat with her on the couch for a few minutes. i cried and petted and cried and petted; it felt really good to hold her. eventually everyone made their way inside; bookis, brandon, drew, and crystal came over. we talked about her and laughed and cried and joked. she was such a big part of the HotBox, and it won’t be the same here without her. i will miss her a lot.
