Crazy in Love

Kat and I had brought everything to the hill. When I was first digging up the grave, I made her sit in the car and wait. She didn't need to see her best friend's skeleton. I took the blanket from the back and wrapped it up.

We got to the hill and started getting it ready. While I buried his body, she sat in the car again. Kat has already dealt with seeing his lifeless body in front of her, she doesn't need it again.

"Kat, I think you should say something."

"Sebastian, you were my best friend for years. You were the only know who knew about my father and I trusted you for that."

I saw some tears falling down her face.

"I remember one time when we were little. You were decoding the newly built treehouse. I asked you if you've ever been in love. You shook your head and said that we were too young to be in love."

"I then asked you what it's like to kiss someone. You shrugged and went back to decorating. At that moment I decided I wanted you to be my first kiss. You were surprised that I kissed you but that made me realize that your my best friend and would do anything for me."

"God, I miss you so much. Why did you have to try and talk to my father? It's my fault for staying at the house later. I would have been at the treehouse and you wouldn't have come looking for me."

Tears were now streaming down my face and hers. I didn't even know him, but I can tell he was really important to her.

"Sebbie, you'll always be in my heart forever."

Kat then got on her knees and started humming. I knew the song she was humming so I quietly sang along.

"I know there's nothing I can do to change it
But is there something that can be negotiated?
My heart's already breaking, baby, go on, twist the knife

Hey, hey, hey
Oh, why you're wearing that to walk out of my life?
Hey, hey, hey
Oh, even though it's over you should stay tonight

Hey, hey, hey
If tomorrow you won't be mine
Won't you give it to me one last time?
Oh, baby, let me love you goodbye
Oh, baby, let me love you goodbye"

We stayed kneeling on the ground, staying silent in memory of Sebastian. Kat was still crying when we left, but I think she felt better knowing that his grave is in a good place other than a forest that could get burnt down or chopped down.

The weekend is over and I'm back at school. Kat has been quiet since we made the grave, but I think it's because she is dealing with the memory of her best friend. I hope she is doing all right, I want to be there for her, but I have school.

My parents would kill me if I skipped school. They know how important school is for my future. I want to graduate from school with terrific grades so that I can get into a good college.

There's a lot of drama/gossip going around in school. Most of the time it's about someone sleeping with someone or how someone has drugs for a party. I don't listen to it because it dumb and over half the time it's not true. This time I heard something about this car crash that happened that week. It seemed real so at lunch I searched it up.

On the road, by some forest, there was a car that crashed into a huge tree. They rummaged through the wreckage and found 4 bodies, 2 men and 2 females. The police still haven't figured out who they are, but they know that the driver, the older male, was under the influence of alcohol. The older female was found to be carrying a child for about 4 weeks.
