I learned from myself that in order to deal with situations, you had to accept the fact that there was nothing you could do about them and decide to make the best out of them. And that's what I tried to do. I really did. With everything I had I struggled to look at Darren and not break down crying. And I succeeded the first and second days, but in my head the days before Darren left became pressingly closer and closer and my days became more and more stressful. Darren told me I should start to get a group together so I wouldn't be lonely. I told him he was an idiot if he thought I was going to leave him to find new friends immediately. The second week before he left, pressure was built up behind my eyes. We got together almost everyday after school that week. I wish I could say it was like old times, but we wore off quicker. We were both so stressed and depressed and whatever else you could think of that there was no way we could have been like our old selves.
I wish I could've said we finished out our final days together strong. But the situation stayed the same. I was on the verge of tears, and worse. Darren was the same, plus he had to worry about fitting in in a whole new country. I told him that a new country would be cool. He sort of laughed. He didn't believe it any more than I did.
The day he left, I told myself I had it under control. It's funny; the little lies we tell ourselves just so we can feel better about the situation at hand.
Only I didn't feel better.
And then he was gone.
And then before I knew it, our adventures were reduced to a computer screen so we could skype. It wasn't half as enjoyable as if he had been there.
Sometimes the shortest amount of words paints the best picture.
And that is all I have to say, I'm afraid.
Darren Mesworth is my best friend, yet is the one thing that caused me the most pain.
Author's Note
I know some of you are about to go fuming mad (if anyone actually reads my books) so DON't GO FUMING MAD CUZ I'VE GOT GOOD NEWS!
I'm making a spinoff of Never Walk Alone! And it will have a much better ending, you can be for sure. This new spinoff will be in both perspectives of Annalise and Darren and what their new life split up in separate countries is like.
Is this spinoff a good or bad idea? Please let me know below in the comments for this last final chapter!
