the soft hum of my ceiling fan fills my ears as i lay in bed replaying that night...
november 13
11:26 pm
im awaken from my sleep by the buzzing of my phone. groaning i lean over and look at the bright screen squinting.
its corey. why is he calling? he's supposed to be at the lake with his grandparents...
l: corey?
c: leslie its mrs. lockwood.
she's crying...why is she crying. she never cries.
l: mrs. lockwood, whats wrong? is everything okay? why are you crying?
im definitely awake now. something is wrong very wrong.
mrs. lockwood: c-corey was hit head on by a drunk driver. he didn't make it.
*
in that moment my world crumbled at my feet. corey and i have been best friends, siblings practically, since we were born. our parents always said even in the womb we were best friends.
he was always there for me and i was always there for him; we understood each other when no one else did.
just the mere thought of that night pains me. it's like someone is driving white hot irons through my heart. even if i try to distract myself of the troubling memories, my mind always finds its way back to that night.
i can't take this anymore. the pain is too much. i walk into the bathroom and find my moms migraine medicine. after this all my suffering will be gone...
•••
that was depressing and hard for me to write...things will look up in the next couple chapters.
