Meeting the Demigods

•14• Jasmine

Hey guys! I actually just turned 13 a few days ago and I'm still in the mood. So I kind of wanted to do one that featured a birthday thing... However you want to say it.
ANYWAYS! This chapter is a little bit depressing but I hope you like it!

Bianca was my best friend. We were always together, like peas in a pod... If you're into that sort of thing.

She died over a year ago. We used to go to this boarding school with her little brother, Nico. We had a few dances during the year and at one of them, she and Nico disappeared. One minute standing off to the side, the next gone. She was missing for a few weeks and when I heard the news about her death, I broke down completely.

Poor, sweet Bianca. They told me that there was an accident including some kind of a machine. I can only assume it was a car or some other transportation device. I mean come on, what else could it have been?

Anyways, snapping out of my thoughts now and concentrating on the task at hand. I sneak out of the window in my dorm and fall a few feet. I hope I didn't wake up my roommate!

Brooke is nice enough, but she's just not Bianca. After Bianca left I had moved schools... Too many bittersweet memories were left behind. Brooke doesn't know about Bianca, no one does and I'd like to keep it that way.

It's her birthday today, Bianca.

Before long I'm nearing the meadows. Bianca loved flowers. I remember and I smile a little.

I lay down in the flowers and sigh. I close my eyes as tears trickle down my cheeks. For a while I just lay there, inhaling the scent of orchids and fresh, green grass. And by the time I leave. Its already sunrise.

Four thirty. Four and a half hours past midnight, the beginning of the next day. My best friend's birth day.

I run my hands over the grass one last time, get up and whisper to the rising sun.

"Happy birth day, Bianca."
