My high school life

Chapter 14: Death- The End

He hung himself.

We didn't see each other for a month. We all dwelled in sadness on our own, alone. A letter came in for each of us in the mail. After reading the letter, all of our perspective of life changed.

David:
David, the deductive bastard. You are like freaking detective Conan, your too sharp but you are completely dense when it comes to love. Despite everything you are probably Zara's favourite. Always stay sharp yet understanding, because Zara as well as the others will probably need you most during now. Have you ever noticed how the sky changed colours during the day but you can never see the moment the colour actually changes? I think that's how we were. We all changed but it's almost impossible to pinpoint moment we did. But now that we've changed, instead of wishing we were our previous colour, let's show off this new colour to everyone.

Sebastian:
Despite the cold face you always have with your glasses on, I know you care for all of us. This must have hit you hard. I just wanted to say to you, I didn't do this because of anyone. You could say it was my own agenda, it was my choice and nobody affected that. Just live your life happily, I don't want any memories of me to drag you down in life. The wind only blows forwards, never backwards because there's nothing for it behind it, but there's a whole world in front of it. Things in the past can't be changed, but things in the future can be, change the future.

Anthony:
There are so many things I could say to you, but to be honest despite your personality you haven't done much. When Henri first did that Zara I thought you would have murdered him but when it comes to her, and then when David proposed such a "test" you tend to be more tepid than you normally would be. To be honest I'm not sure if it's a good or bad thing. Now my one wish for you is to stay strong. You can choose to follow her forever or quietly watching from the sides, but promise me to always stay as strong an you are. Never turn weak like me.

Henri:
Wow, the amount of trouble you have caused this year. You really know how to piss off people. You need to grow up, stand on your own two feet and find confidence in yourself. I know why you did that to Zara that day. You lacked the confidence to fight for her and instead you tried to steal her from everyone. Well now I'm telling you to do something. Fight for her fair and square. If you lose, then at least you can hold your head up high because let me ask you. If you had done it with her, got pregnant and married you, would anyone be happy?

Robert:
The Rock of the group, always standing tall and strong to catch us when we fall. We wouldn't have become such good friends if it wasn't for you. But I've always had a question for you, even now I think my only regret is not asking you in person. Are you happy? Despite your smile and kind words I've never really known. Are you happy with life now? My wish for you is to be happy and if you already are, then stay happy.

Zara:
My Dear Zara. There really is a lot that I want to tell you, but I can't. I feel like anything I want to tell you is something you need to figure out for yourself. Something I know you know is that your more than a friend to all of us and now I feel you should decide on your own without any influence from me. I love you. Wherever I end up, I want you to know that I love you. Whenever you feel down, just look outside and adore the beauty of the world. I know you loved nature as much as I do. Always smile ok? I never want to see you cry again. Life is beautiful, and I don't want you to waste a second of it in grief. Forget about me, move on, that would make me happiest.

After reading the letters, all our perspectives of life changed. We looked forward to seeing the world with these new filters on life.
