A Friendship Cut Short

Chapter 9

He went upon to her house to see where she was. Once he had got there, Hazel's mother had answered the door. He asked where Hazel was, and her mother said up in her room. So he walked up to her room, and heard crying. So he opened the door to find Hazel on her bed, crying her eyes out. He asked her what's wrong, but she wouldn't tell him. So he went and sat beside her, put his arm around her, and comforted her as best as he could.

She cried on his shoulder for a good long ten minutes. Once she had finally calmed down, he had asked her once again why she was crying. She told him that everyone at school bullies her and calls her names and such. He looked at Hazel right into the eyes and told her not to let it get to her. He told her that they were just getting jealous of the beautiful girl that she is becoming. She smiled at this and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Then they both went down to his house to celebrate his birthday and eat some cake. The school year went by, but the bullying didn't stop. A couple months after his birthday, he was going to the store. He asked Hazel if she wanted to come since it was a Saturday, but she said no. She said that she had some chores to do. So she sadly went back to her house.

It was about an hour before he had got back, but when he did, he ran straight up to her house. He asked Hazel's mom where she was, and she said up in her room. So he ran up to her room, and heard music playing. Nothing out of the ordinary he thought to himself. So he opened up the door, and screamed at what he saw.

Hazel's mother came running up the stairs, and she also screamed as soon as she saw what he did. She ran back downstairs to calk an ambulance and her father. He walked into her room and just couldn't believe what he was looking at.

There, in the middle of the room, lied Hazel in a puddle of blood. She had cut herself so much all over her body. He picked her up and held her in his arms. He looked around and saw that she had a note in her hand, so he picked it upon and read it.

Dear Moony,
I'm so sorry that you had to see me go. I just couldn't take this life anymore. My depression got the best of me. My parents kept expecting me to be this perfect child, when I just couldn't be. And then there was you Moony. You would've done anything to see me smile. But the one thing that you couldn't see was that I loved you. I loved you so much it hurt. It hurt me so much that you couldn't notice how I felt about you. I wanted to be with you so badly. I wanted it to be us against the world. Just you and me Moony. I kept hanging on just so I could be with you. I tried to push past all of the bullying. I tried to ignore everyone who called me names. All because I loved you. But you never noticed. So I just gave up. I let everyone bully me and call me names. I let my depression get to me. I'm so sorry Moony. I love you. Goodbye.

He started to cry, and the next thing he knew, a hand was reaching up and wiping the tears from his face. She pulled his head closer to hers and kissed him on the lips. Once he pulled away, she said with her final breath, I love you Cameron. And then she had passed away from losing too much blood. She had literally died in his arms.

He wouldn't let go of her, even when the ambulance came. They were too late, she was already dead. He went back to his house and locked himself in his room, clutching the heart that she had given him all those years ago, and the ring that she got him for his birthday. He cried himself to sleep that night. He woke up the next morning, only to find that it wasn't a dream.
