I need to tell Charlie
it's going to be bad, but he needs to know
I reluctantly pull out my phone and open my contacts. I take a deep breath and sit down on the curb of her street. I click call and smile.
'bro, why you calling at this time? it's the middle of the night' he laughs
'Charlie don't be mad' I whisper
'Leondre, you know I love you, you can tell me anything and I will support you, we are best friends' he reassured
'I asked' I laugh
'Leo? are you going crazy? what the hell is that supposed to mean?' he says in a jokey note
'Charlie I asked Lydia to be my girlfriend' I said hesitantly
'oh, what did she say man!' he almost shouted
'no'
'awh too bad, don't be upset man, you'll find someone' he said
'I'm joking char' I laughed
'wait, you didn't ask her?
'no, she said yes you dingbat' I smiled
'Leonard Devoroes get your posh bum over to my scrawny little mansion this minute' he chuckled
'be there in 5 Charls lonehen' I replied
I ended to call and slipped my phone into my back pocket. I ran the short way to Charlies house and I was about to knock on the door when the upstairs window opened and charlies head popped out.
'leondre, stop you dumbass. you'll wake everyone up and I don't think my mum would want you here at 2 in the morning. you'll have to climb my tree and grey in through here.'
'for gods sake man' I sighed
'Leo quit your complaining and get your ass up here so we can talk.' he smiled
his head disappeared back through the window and I started climbing not slowing down til I got to the top
'we didn't think this through, how am I getting from this tree to the window.'
'jump it' he said not bothering to turn around
'dude it's a good two metre gap, are you crazy?' I violently whisper
'do it Leo, you pussy' he laughs
I have to jump so I may as well do it now before I have the chance to stall
'FINE'
I turn to face the window and hold the tree behind me
*3...2...1...JUMP*
I push with all the strength in my legs and I throw my arms in front of me.
'LEONDRE' is the last I hear
Charlies PoV
'LEONDRE' I scream
the inches he is away from the window quickly go and he smacks his head on the ledge and I hear him fall.
'MUM.' I cry
'MUM...MUM HELP'
the door swings open and my mum runs in
'what is it Charlie? are you ok?' she panics
'no no no'
'Charlie tell me what's happened' she sits down on my bed
I look over to the window and put my head in my hands
'mum call an ambulance or something. just save him' I sob
she gets up and runs over to the window she puts her hand over her mouth
'omg. LEO'
'call the ambulance mum'
I get up and run down the stairs. I open the door and get over to where leos body is lay and grab his hand.
'MUM QUICKLY' I scream
'Leo... your going to be ok. it's going to be ok. this is going to be just fine. we will be just fine' I whisper down his ear
there's a big cut on his head and mouth and nose are both bleeding
I did this to my best friend.
*•|5 minutes later|•*
<the ambulance arrives>
'what's his name' the paramedic asks while searching for his pulse
'it's Leondre. his name is leondre devries.' I cry
'OK, and your name?'
'I'm Charlie Lenehan' I reply
'right, Charlie tell me what happened'
'he jumped from the tree trying to get through the window but he hit his head and fell. please help him. he is all I have left'
'OK Charlie I need you to calm down. I think he is going to be just fine. we'll get him to the hospital and try and get him better.'
'I'm coming with him'
'no Charlie your not' my mum says
'MUM I DID THIS NOW LET ME MAKE IT RIGHT. IM GOING WITH HIM.'I shout
'OK' she says turning around
they get Leo on a stretcher and lift him Into the ambulance onto a bed
'jump in sir' the paramedic smiles
I get in and reach for leos hand
'this is all going to be ok. I'm sorry leondre.'
