The New Beginning / Brennen Taylor

Chapter 4

I sit outside on my tramp looking at the stars like I always am. I just don't understand Brennen. He acts all nice to me when we're alone then he is an ass at school.

" I thought you would be out with your friends." My mom says coming outside.

" uh what friends." I chuckle.

" well you should make friends Alex,  make a best friend."

" do you not understand mom I can't have a best friend I can't replace Alice. I can't trust people because once I do, something will happen something always happens." I explain to her.

" Alex you're not going to replace her, nobody can replace her. How do you know you won't be able to trust someone if you don't give them the chance. What happened to Alice was tragic, but you can't have that hold you back from doing stuff." My mom says.

" I miss her" I cry into my hands.

" I know you do we all do." She whispers.

" you know why I look at the stars so much." I say.

" why is that."

" because I feel like she is right up there looking at me." I smile looking up at the stars.

" she is." My mom smiles.

" mom why do the best people die?"

" when you're in a garden which flowers do you pick?"

the most beautiful ones.

" I have to go inside to make sure dinner isn't burning." She chuckles.

I nod.

Flashback.

" Alice we need to get out of here." I yell so she could here me.

" why the party hasn't ended yet." She says and she is sitting on a random guy.

" let's go I'm your ride home."

" I can't drive." She slurs.

I grab her arm ranking her to my car.

" what the hell was that for!" She screams at me.

" your fucking drunk out of your mind and your trying to sleep with every guy you see, like a slut." I yell back.

" I'm sorry your jealous of me because I get all the guys and you don't." She snarled back at me.

" shut the hell up and in the car bitch." I say.

That shut her up.

It was silent I could feel the awkwardness in the car.

" I'm sorry what I said." I say.

She didn't say anything.

" Alice." I beg for her to answer.

" I don't think we should be friends any more." I look at her ready to cry.

We've known each other since we were baby's. How could she just say that just because we had a small fight? She is drunk maybe she is just not herself.

I was blinded by the huge light coming towards us I knew this was the end. As soon as I looked at my best friend for the last time she took my hand and said " I'm sorry " then everything went black.

Flash back over.

I blame my self for what happened that night I replay what happened that night in my head. I should of listened to her and just stayed at that party I was so worried about getting my home work done that night I was being selfish.

I don't know if I could have a friend in my life because I would never want them to go.
