Not Her

When I get home I eat lunch then go to my room. My mom comes in and sits down. I look over to her and say hi. She looks at me and says " Hello, so I found out your name is hope. I love it. My name is Amelia or you can call me mom, your new dads name is Ben, and your brothers names is Zach. I wanted to talk to you to see how you are." I put my head down and say " I'm doing fine I guess but um could I go outside. My friend Racheal hasn't been talking to me." She says "of course and if you ever need anything just come to me."

I walk down the street to my friends and ring the doorbell. No one answers. So I do it again. When no one answers the second time I text her. I then get a text back saying,

                   Hey this is her mom. We are at the hospital. When Racheal was playing soccer she fell and slipped into a comma. I don't know if she is gonna live.

When I read this I dropped my phone, fell to the ground and started to cry. I never thought this could happen. She is only 12. I'm only13. We are so young, she can't die now...

I get back up and run home. I accidentally slam the door and run upstairs to my room. My mom comes upstairs and asks what's wrong. I show her the text and she wraps her arms around me and says " Racheal will be alright. And if you want I can drive you to the hospital." I look at her and ask if she would really do that. She laughs a little and says of course I would.

We rush into the car and on our way to the hospital I get a text. When I see it I died inside. I can't believe this happened. Today, why couldn't it have waited until we were friends again. I will always have her in my heart and on this date, I will remember my best friend Racheal died!
