Prologue:

I ran, ran until my lungs hurt. I ran to the place, where I lost him. Tears streamed down my face, and I dropped to my knees. Glass was still crowded around. The gravel bit into my knees, searing me with pain, but I ignored it. I closed my eyes as the awful flashback started. His smile, screaming, glass shattering everywhere. I winced at the pain in my heart, everyone says it will get better that the pain will ease up and go away. I know it won't, it will never go away.

It's been almost two months but it feels like years. My heart just keeps on breaking and it won't be mending anytime soon. A loud clap of thunder made me jump, it started pouring then. Soaking my clothes, the rain felt like icicles hitting my skin. I don't feel it though I'm numb and I will always be numb. " I'm sorry, I'm so sorry Alex." I whispered through my tears.

I picked some flowers that were growing on the side of the road, and place them on faded white cross. I traced my finger over his name. Flashback hitting me like pictures ran through my mind.

"I miss you."

I heard the soft sound of gravel being driven on. I heard the car slow down and come to a stop a door slammed. Hoping it's him I look up, but it's just my brother. A wave of sobs hit me, for being so stupid, because Alex is gone and is never coming back.
