I hung myself over my once breathing best friend. It was to soon for her, she deserves another chance. It should've been me. I caused her death, she ran because of me.
"It should've been me!" I screamed into the air.
"why are you still here? Its been a day and a half. It's time to head back." A calm voice called from behind me.
I slowly turned my head only to find Liza and Zeus.
"I cant leave her. It is my fault she is here, and it's only right that I stay." I said, hugging Echo's cold body.
"why hasn't she changed yet?" Liza whispered to Zeus.
"I don-
I cut him off.
"I handled it."
"Why are you doing this all on your own? You need to open up, you need to be with us. Stop being so cut off and secluded from everyone." Zeus said a tad bit aggressive.
"Because, if I care about something then it's to much trouble, if I care, then it will die." I slightly stuttered, in the midst of trying to stand.
I knew the moment I looked up and saw them both crying that they cared for me. But for some reason, instead of feeling relived, I felt guilty and shameful. They were there for me and all I did was shut them out.
"What the hell is wrong with me?" I said squeezing my head and falling back to my knees.
"Liza, walk back, but be careful." Zeus whispered.
Liza glared at Zeus but soon understood and walked away.
"Avery, there is nothing wrong with you. You simply just need a friend." He smiled and sat next to me.
"I know she was close to you, but you need to let her go. I'm not saying forget her, but you can't always cling to the thought that it was your fault."
I slowly looked up to him now standing and holding his hand to me. I took hold of him and said one last goodbye to Echo.
In that moment, I knew someone cared, and I cared to.
THE NEXT DAY...
I slowly walked back to Echo's "grave sight". I left her a white rose and said goodbye for good.
"I'll miss you."
Then I walked back.
I'll always care.
