Today was a very upsetting day for Dude a year ago today his best friend Ryan died in a car crash all because of a idiotic drunk driver. Dude went shopping to buy some flowers and some decorations for Ryan's grave Sprout went with him to help him pick some stuff out knowing it was very hard to think about it. Dude bought Ryan a Red basketball as it was his favourite colour and him and Dude played basketball together all the time he also bought him red Rose's to keep with the theme. Dude had previously ordered an engraved ornament for his grave it was a basketball that had fancy black writing in it that said
"Dear ryan my best friend since day one today is the day which Mark's a year since we lost you your friends and family all miss you so much and today is going to be a very hard day for all of us
We lost you too soon,
Lots of love
Dude ❤ "
Sprout and Dude went back home and the rest of the gang were sat on the couch waiting for them dude walked in and sat down in the middle to show the gang what he got they all looked and smiled. Dude said "I suppose I'd better go now... umm I'll see you soon". The gang all nodded and got up to give him a hug before he left. Sprout went with him the car drive was silent for the whole 30 minuits it took to get there. Dude got the stuff out of the car and coached sprout to get out of the car. Dude I think it's better if I stay in the car hes your best friend and I think it's only fair you go see him by yourself sprout smiled. Dude just nodded and continued to walk towards the gravestone.
Hey buddy dude spoke. I know you probably cant hear me but I miss you... alot losing you was one of the hardest things I've ever gone through and i cant imagine having to go through pain like that again. I bought you some stuff I got you some flowers and of course a basketball both are red your favourite colour. I wish I could stay here with you all day like I did your birthday but I dont think I'd be able to sit here without crying and you know how much i hate to cry especially out in public. Anyway I need to clean this up a bit it's a little bit run down eh?
Dude cleans the grave*
There we go all clean I'm afraid I have to go now man but i miss you and I'm carrying you round all day and every day in a piece of my heart.
Dude started to walk back to the car his head was facing the floor this is what made sprout know he was on the verge of tears. Dude got in the car and out his head in his hands. He wiped his face and sniffed before driving home. Sprout waited till they got home to say anything knowing that dude would feel alot safer there.
When they got home dude walked in and candi was at the door she had made him a card a blue one !! sighned by her and the rest of the gang sprout smiled knowing this was made as he had already sighned it previously it had basketball on the front and his name in big Bold letters.he smiled at candi and mouthed the words thank you whilst on the verge of tears and gave her a hug. The rest of the gang were sat on the couch and had made a cup of tea and cookies for dude.
Later on that evening Dude and sprout went to their room and spoke about it and sprout comforted dude the best he could then they heard the letterbox who delivers post at 11:30 pm they looked at each other in confusion dude went to pick it up it was a letter from.....Ryan
