I know it sounds selfish that my friend is in the hospital and my friends are broken up about it, but I honestly don't see the point in living.
At about 10 Toby and I start walking back home after saying bye to everyone.
We go in the gas station and we both get a monster.
*in the woods*
"I hate this" I said dully taking a sip of my drink.
"What?" Toby said sounding sympathetic.
"All of my friends seem so depressed, and I hate seeing the like this." I looked down.
"Yeah.. Sorry" toby said.
"Don't be sorry, I understand." I half smiled at him.
"But hey, at least Carter gets  out on Tuesday.." Toby smiled.
"Yeah, I can't wait" I smiled back hoping the smile didn't look too fake. Don't get i wrong, I really can't wait, but I guess its just hard to smile without wanting to cry. Damn, I'm selfish.
When we get home, we go on my room and lay on my bed. Just like we did at Roxy's. I wonder if this is normal, feeling depressed after your friend attempts suicide. What if everyone else feels the same. No, i- they can't feel like this..
Without thinking the words that I instantly regret fall from my mouth.
"Is it normal to feel so depressed after something like this?" I asked biting my lip regretting it.
"Well, in my opinion, there is a fine line between sad and depressed. So I would say, yes it is normal to be sad, of course. But I think depressed would be exagerating." He looked at me
"What is your idea of life?" I asked.
"My idea of life? Well, you only have one life to live, make the best of it. Don't waist it away being sad all the time, make people smile, be your self." He had his eyes locked on the ceiling.
"And yours?" He asked.
"I think life is pointless. You live and dye. What's the point of living if everyone just dies in the end." I looked at him.
He studied my face before standing up and grabbing a cd and putting  it in, he changed the track and held out his hand to me. When I take his hand the music starts. He played someone, somewhere (the acoustic version) by asking alexandria.
He started dancing. He lifted my feet onto his.
"West?" He asked.
"Yes?" I asked as I studied his face.
"these are moments to live for." He said before kissing my cheek.
I layed my head on his chest and I felt myself falling asleep, I guess he did too. He played me in bed and layes next to me.
"Sometimes, the smallest things in life are the greatest, and I can promise you, I will remember this moment for the rest of my life."
Was the last thing I heard before falling asleep. Maybe he has a point..
