Of course I'd heard from city gossip that Tilly had overdosed. I had no idea she'd actually fucking died though. I remember being frozen in shock when Paedro told me. My whole body static, refusing to move. I hadn't seen her since that one night after Jim and her broke up. I had missed that girl and now she was gone. I never made the effort to try and see her again after that last time. My heart broke for Jim, for her family and for Tilly. She was only 17. Too stupidly young to die.
I remember wanting to cry when I heard the news. I wanted sobs to rack my body and have someone come to comfort me. But I couldn't. It was too dangerous. Crying on the streets was a move short of suicide. You'd get beaten up, or worse, for that shit.
I never went to her funeral. Couldn't face it. Couldn't face Jim either. I haven't really seen him since the end of last year. I wonder if he ever got back together with Tilly, because my God did he love that girl.
Everything in my life is falling to shit. Paedro's been locked up for life. He got done for almost murdering some dude that gave him shitty H. He got so many offences to his name that they basically said "Lock him up and throw away the key". I'll probably never see that fucker again. I don't even know if I'll ever see Jim again either. I'm probably far too deep in the junkie house to ever come out again now. It's a sad waste of life to live like this, but I have nothing else to go back to. No home, no school, no friends. Nothing. I might die in a few years, who knows. I hope Jim is at least okay though. And my Mom. I hope she's okay too. And Tilly. I hope she's happy once again wherever she is now.
