Ribbon In The Wind

Introduction

Introduction:

I remember the night like it was yesterday the night my best friend died, he meant everything to me and it was out of the blue and this is what happened. 

I was at Luke’s house because it was the day before my 17th birthday and he wanted to give me his present first before everyone else we were sitting on the lounge watching movie after movie when he gave me my present, it was a box with a red ribbon tied around it but I can’t open it yet I have to open it tomorrow on my actual birthday, the suspense is going to kill me.

After a while we decided to go down the street to the near by park. As we walk down the street hand in hand everything was perfect he was my best friend and no one could ever take his place.

I see the swings in sight; I let go of Luke’s hand and start running to get to the swing first.

‘Oii Grace wait up, oh don't you dare take my swing you know what will happen’

Luke shouts after me, I laugh and quicken my pace because he has started chasing after me. I reach the swing out of breath and laughing.

‘Oh look at that I win again haha its my swing now’

I poke my tongue out as he reaches the swing; he’s got a frown on his face probably mad at me, which is kind of cute. 

He walks around to the back of the swing and begins to push me; I smile because I couldn't picture having a greater life then what I have right now. I laugh and give out little screams as he pushes me higher and laughs at me.

From the corner of my eye I see a group of black figured shapes walking towards us I immediately stop laughing and turn to look in that direction, walking towards us is a group of about ten guys giving us a look of distaste.

‘Well Hello princess’

One of the guys towards the fronts calls over to me he must be the leader considering none of the other says anything.

I’m afraid to say anything but the only thing that I can manage is a simple

‘Hi’

My heart is beating 100 times a second and its so silent I swear they can all hear it. They all do a little laugh.

‘So princess is this your boyfriend?’

The same guy nods in the direction of Luke who is now death staring them with a look like he’s about to say something to them, oh please don’t say anything don’t make it worse please.

My voice is stuck in my throat but I choke out the only words I can.

‘No not my boyfriend, he’s my best friend why you ask?

‘Oh no reason apart from the fact that you don’t need him in your life’

By this one comment my confidence rises and I’m able to say the things on my mind.

‘Umm excuse me, who are you to tell me who I need and don’t need in my life. You don’t even know me and you sure as hell don’t know him’

This is the moment Luke decides to use his voice, which may as well have been the worst idea possible.

‘Ok nice conversation there but we were just leaving if you don’t mind’

He takes my hand and starts to lead me away from them when one of the guy’s jumps forward and grabs hold of my arm.

‘No, no sweetheart, now where do you think your going’

I try to pull my arm free from his grasp but its so tight that my arm doesn’t even move the slightest, I whimper in pain but try as hard as possible to compose myself but just as Luke hears the whimper it sets him off.

‘Take your f**king hands off my girl before I do it for you”

When the guy doesn’t release his hold before I can blink Luke punches the guy in the face, which sends him falling backwards in shock not prepared for it. That set of everything in motion, I felt hand rap around my waste and pull me away I scream and kick as I’m lifted from the ground, two guys are holding my face and I am forced to watch the rest of the group beat and kick the crap out of my best friend, to listen to him cry out in pain. Tears stream down my face as I scream for them to stop but they don’t.

Luke is quickly covered in his own blood and is lying on the floor trying to get up, he looks at me his deep blue eyes burning into me as he opens his mouth and begins to speak.

‘I love you Grace’

I didn’t see it before but one of the guys is holding a gun, he holds it up directing it at Luke’s head, I scream and that’s when I hear the bang of the gun and Luke take in a sharp intake of breath, his last.

Suddenly the guys let go of me and I run as fast as I can over to Luke who’s lying motionless the life drained from him.

I feel a tap on my shoulder I slowly turn and it’s the leader the guy who spoke first.

‘Don’t worry sweetheart you didn’t need him, soon or later your going to forget him’

I can’t believe he still has the nerve to state that while I’m crying sitting next to my dead best friend. 

I then scream at them all.

‘F**king leave me alone!!’

They all laugh but slowly start to walk away and the last thing I hear the leader say as he’s walking away into the darkness is

‘Forget him, forget all about him sweetheart you’ll find better’
