I was excited to go to school today, I was going to ask Richard the big question 'will you go out with me'. I got ready in a hurry and was at school a half hour early. When I was aloud in I rushed to my locker to find no note from him. I Sadly grabbed my binder and went to English. I looked at Richards desk but it was empty. I knew something wasn't right I had a feeling. I knew it was wrong but when the transition bell for second our rang I went right out the front doors and to Richards house. I knocked on the door and it opened with the face of mrs.Stevens. " oh hello are you one of Richards friends?" " yes may I see him?" " He's sleeping dear" " would you care if I woke him I need to ask him something important it's for a project at school." " oh go ahead dear his door is the third upstairs it says do not disturb on it" "thanks." I rushed upstairs and ran to Richards bedroom throwing the door open. What I saw scared the shit out of me, Richard was laying still on his bed but his wrist hung off the side, it was cut several times, the knife he used lay bloody on the floor. I rushed to him trying to rouse him but he wouldn't move. " mrs. Stevens come quick it's Richard" I heard pounding footsteps and then heavy breathing behind me " no no no not Richard not my baby" she sat beside me and cried over his body. I got up and left the room, I dialed 911 and ordered an ambulance to hurry here. They came quickly within 10 minute the sirens were coloring the house and the paramedics were swooping Richard onto a gurney and into the ambulance. Mrs. Stevens jumped in the front and I slid into the back beside his cold body. The paramedics placed a breathing mask over his face and inserted some IVs into his arm. We were at the hospital within 10 minutes. They rushed home into a room and told us to wait at the front desk and foil out some papers. " mrs Stevens if they say family only can we say I'm his sister I need to see him I've fallen in love with him" " oh of course dear" she said and wrapped me in a hug. She finished filling out the paper work about Richard when the doctor said we could come back now. All the nurses and doctors left and gave us some time alone. He lay motionless, a breathing mask in his face wires and tubes hooked to him just to keep him alive. " damn it if I wouldn't have said anything we wouldn't be here or anywhere near here" " no sweetie it's not your fault don't blame yourself" mrs Stevens tried to reassure me but it wasn't working. I sat down beside Richard and held his hand, i cried. " mrs Stevens may we have some privacy please?" " oh yes you take all the time you need" she parted my back and walked out closing the door gently. I sang to him the song he had sent me one day and I dubbed it our song.
"You are my sunshine
My only sunshine
You make me happy when sky's are grey ..." I cried and wished he'd wake or stir or do something to tell me he was still alive.
