You once told me that everyone would die, no matter how strong or weak they are. You were strong, brave, intelligent, a fast thinker. You were competitive..you were my best friend and i never wished of losing you.
It was a Sunday at 10pm in December a week before the last day of school, we were so excited to school on Monday because we would get to see each other. i hadn't seen you since last week as you had gone away to Scotland with your dad. I called you all week and all weekend but you never answered.
It came to Monday. It was a chilly morning, my dad started the car as a I got ready and ate my breakfast. I packed my lunch into my bag and got my coat on and rushed to the car, shivering. I get to school and wait for first period so I can see you..you aren't there. I hoped you were just late to school and i would see you in period 2 but once again, you weren't in your seat.
It got to the end of the day, I ran to the car and buckled myself in. The minute I get home I run to my room and sob for hours and hours, I didn't eat that day because I was worried about you! I called you and you didn't answer again so i left you a paragraph. You finally answered and called me yelling through the phone and your dad screaming at your mum in the background. I cried so faintly you couldn't even tell I was crying. I hung up on you and then chuck my phone to the floor and cry into my pillow.
It was midnight, My phone buzzed and i checked the notification, it was a message from you. The message read: "i hate you cora! you always have to ruin things. I came to Scotland for a week to visit family and I don't come into school one day later and you start worrying about me!! keep out of my life."
I didn't understand what i had done wrong? I was just making sure she was okay but somehow i ruined her trip?? I felt bad and wrote back.
"I'm sorry lily, I didn't mean to ruin your trip, I just missed you." I sent the message.
I realised it hadn't gone through...she blocked me.
It was Tuesday morning, I wake up to see lily's parents crying in my kitchen with my parents? What was going on?! Had I done something wrong? AGAIN?!
Turns out, she passed. My best friend since birth had hung herself in the corner of her room last night all because of me.
You were right, But I didn't think I would've lost you this fast.
