My Special Spirit

III

*Janessa's POV*

It has been three days after the funeral. It was the last time I saw her. We weren't as close since I moved schools, but she was a huge part of my life at some point. I don't understand why someone would want to hurt her. She was the kindest and sweetest person I have ever met.

Her name was Amber. We met in band back in middle school. She was chubby, but in a cute way. She was a talented French horn player and her singing was gorgeous. She inspired all of us to practice and to never give up. If you needed her, she was there. If you would fall, she would pick you up. If you were sad, she would hug you so tight and tell you how wonderful you are.

She had committed suicide due to cyberbullying. I don't understand why someone would do this. She didn't not deserve such a thing. She loved being herself and always being so loud. She filled the band hall with her laughter. She laughed and laughed like if there was no tomorrow. She gave advice and always got along with everybody. I wished she were here to make the crying stop.

Before she passed away she left me a note. Her note said, "I am sorry for causing you all this pain. Please don't be sad. I am in a better place. Just remember that you are my best friend. Don't forget all our memories and the advice I would give you. I am sorry for leaving this world without an explanation. Just remember that I love you and I will take care of you." My tears were running down my face twice as bad as last time I cried, with the guy from band. I felt bad that I didn't know his name. I shouldn't worry about that right now. I know how much Amber would love to hear about the guy I just met three days ago. We would probably be fan-girling right now.
'God, you don't know how much I miss you Amber!' I thought to myself.

*Jayce's POV*

I haven't seen her in a while. I wished I knew her name. I wonder how she's feeling? I may not know her, but I felt such a strange connection between us. It felt right though. She hasn't been coming to school for almost a week already. I am getting worried. If only I knew where she lived. Should I ask her friends? No that would sound creepy. I will just wait till she comes back to ask if she's okay.

I was walking to my second block class when I see Myrtle, my best friend since middle school. She has been there for me through almost everything. We were practically siblings. We would always sit together and chat about our day. I haven't told her about my crush, yet. Should I? Hmm.

"Hey Myrtle, guess what?" I say. "I have a crush!" I burst out saying it.
Her face brightens up and asks "Who is she, huh? Do I know her?"
"No... I met her a couple of days ago. She's the most beautiful girl I have ever seen!" I try to break the awkwardness.
She tried changing the conversation by asking me if I did the math homework.
Was she upset because I didn't tell her sooner?
"Hey is everything okay? Are you mad?" I ask, worrying about her change of moods. Is she on her lady days? I wonder why she's acting weird.
She gives me a mad face and says 'bye'.
I hope I am wrong here, but I think she was jealous.
Maybe because she thinks that I might start drifting away from her. That would never happen though. She's my best friend. I hope she knows that.
