Savy's P.O.V

During my third subject, I can't stop myself from reminiscing. And I didn't realize I zoned out.

_ _ _ _

“Savy where are you going?” my mom asked.

“Something important mom, sorry I can't talk to you right now, I'm in a hurry.” I wear my converse shoes and stripe black and white t-shirt, then went out on our house.

Our house is not located near the road, I need to walk on the muddy path just to reach the road. Last night is raining that's why it's muddy.

When I arrived on the road, I didn't see any vehicle so I walk further and keep looking back at the thought that vehicles will showed up. I am few meters away from our muddy path when I finally saw one.

I raise my hand to a hand signal so that the driver will know that I wanna ride. Thankfully it stop. I went in and said,

“To the hospital”

The vehicle driver just nod in response. My heart beats too fast thinking what happened on my best friend, Aria. Her brother called me earlier that my best friend needed me, she is on the hospital. Her brother didn't tell me the reason why his sister is on the hospital. And that's what makes me nervous.

A few minutes passed I arrive on the hospital, I paid the driver and run towards the entrance. I saw Arwel, Aria's older brother. He is 4 years older than me.

“What happened to Aria?” I asked when he saw me.

“Accident. She is hit by a truck..and...s-she's dead.. she died Savy..and I-I don't know how will I tell mom about this..” his tears fall on the his cheeks.

I am speechles, I can't move my feet. I just stood there and watched him. My tears  build up on the corner of my eyes.

“Before she died she mentioned your name, that's why I called you...I didn't know that it was her last day today. She didn't give a sign...” he continued speaking.

“I-I don't believe you... Where is she?” I ask finally recovered from shock, I sniffed and started to sobbed.

“On the ER” he stood up and lead me towards where Aria was.

I followed him, we went in to the room that is probably the ER.

There, I saw a figure lying on the bed covered with a white  piece of cloth. Unconsciously my feet walk towards it. I remove the cloth that covers the upper body, when I saw that it is really her, the sound of me crying echoed in the room. I hugged her body and cried so loud.

A memory of her words played on my mind,

“Don't worry Sav-Sav I won't leave you, I will always be here for you. You can always share your problems with me..I am always here ready to comfort you anytime...”

“Aria!! I thought you won't leave me.. I still remember everything you've said. You know you are the only one I have. What am I supposed to do now? Ar-Ar, I can't accept this, yesterday you told me that we were going to do Island hopping, because it's your 18th birthday next week. You lied, how would we do Island hopping on your 18th when you are here..please wake up, stop this nonsense acting, please..!” I sobbed and have a difficulty of breathing because of too much crying.

A hand tapped on my shoulder and slowly pulled me up. I let go from Aria, when I saw Arwel's serious face.

“That's enough Savy, let her rest. Let her go, even if we don't want to, we have to.”

I wiped my wet cheeks even though my tears are falling uncontrollably. I can't respond to him, not wanting the idea of letting go Aria.

“You need to go home now, your parents might be worried because it's already late.”

I just nod and looked back to Aria, she's still unconscious. Is she really dead? I can still feel her presence.

“Aria I know you hear me right now, don't worry, you are always keeping your promises to me since we became friends.. that you're always here for me...now, its my turn to be there for you..”

I said on my mind.

I face Arwel again, and said...

“ Okay, I will let her rest, but that doesn't mean I will let her go.”

He seemed confused, then later on he looked shock.

“W-What do you mean?”

I just shooked my head, and went towards the door then went out. He misunderstood me for sure.

My tears are falling non-stop as soon as I closed the door. I lost my only bestfriend, my sanctuary, my comforter and like a pillow I always cried on whenever I have family problem.

_ _ _ _

When I arrived at home, dad is mad. He is shouting at me like a madman. He calls me names that makes my ear bleed, like; where did you go?! It's already late!! Are you started flirting? You b1tch! There's no normal woman went out this late!!

Tssk.. typical father.

I didn't mind him, I just went directly on my room and continued crying. I still can't believe that this is really happening.

I look up to my wall clock, It's already 9:47 pm.

I cried all the pain I'm feeling on the pillow to subside my sobs. Tomorrow is another day, and on that time I will face my everyday without my bestfriend. The pain is bearable but it still bothered me.

Too many thoughts went inside my head. And all are negatives. I overthink too many things that I didn't notice I fall asleep.

I woke up in the middle of the night gasping for air. I have a nightmare.

Aria shouted my name before he got hit by a truck, then her creepy crying sound echoed everywhere.

My sweat run down to my neck, my tears are falling from my eyes again. I sat up and buckle my knees and hug it then I leaned on the headboard of my bed. I am sobbing again, Aria is very important to me and I love her as my sister, not by blood but by heart. She is my very best friend, my walking confession wall. I told her everything of my problem, I didn't keep secrets to her and she is not keeping secrets towards me too.

3 Weeks later...

I went to school alone, as usual since Aria died from accident. In class I'm so quiet, not so me, when I was with Aria-- I laugh and talk a lot. I am comfortable with her because she knew the whole me. And now that she's gone, I'm left alone.

Every after class I visit her on her grave and clean it. I bring her favorite flowers too, and our favorite junk food. While eating I can't stop talking to her, telling her what happened during my class and as usual sharing my problems, like we were talking face to face-- like the usual.

For the past 3 weeks since Aria died, I was silent all along in the class. Sometimes I caught myself drown in oblivion.

Like now, I zoned out again. I just realize it when I heard someone is tapping my arm chair.

“Hi Savior Yreen Colonell!” a guy waved his hand.
