"ONE LAST CRY" BY: BRIAN MCKNIGHT

At the cemetery

I carressed her tomb whilst crying.

I'm sorry, Brielle. I know I promised to be strong but... I just can't help it. I can't help it, Brielle. Pain is killing me slowly. Where did forever go? Was I too bad for you? Did I treat you well enough? I don't know anymore.

It's been ages since she died and since then, I've become a walking travesty; A false representation of happiness. Look at me now, i'm still a mess. Today is her second death anniversary. Til now, i can't get her out of my system.

"Ez, I'm glad you're being strong. The last time i saw you that devastated was the day she died" I didn't respond.

"May you give me a second?" I asked my friends. Brielle. Just for today, hear me out. Please.

It's funny how people think I've lost my sanity when they see me talking to a slab of marble. Brielle, as long as its you, I don't mind. My mom left me a private nurse, Mark, to make sure I'm alright in case i'll have a heart attack.

"Eric, may I ask who she is?" Mark asked.

"A friend" I said emotionlessly as I wiped my tears.

"Are you sure? 'Cause it looks like she's MORE than just a friend." he chuckled, emphasizing the word more

I sighed, "Shut up Mark. We're bestfriends. Now please leave me alone"

Did I sound too bossy? Well. This guy just pisses me off sometimes! Mark is older than me by 10 year. I'm 19 years old.

"Tsk. teenagers nowadays" he said while smirking and shaking his head.

"Dont talk as like you're not one of them. You're practically a teenager in an adult's body" I said, glaring at his direction.

"Ok chill! I'm only trying to cheer you up. Sheesh..." he placed his right arm around my shoulders.

"Well, it's not working out, Mark!" I snapped and shoved his arm off my shoulder.

"EZ, you need to chill out. You might collapse from your anger." he said, voiced laced with worry.

"Ez? EZ? EZ?! How many times do I have to tell you to stop calling me that?! Just leave me al-" I didn't finish. My chest tightened and I struggled to breathe. My heart caused my suffering. Why can't I just die so I could be with Brielle?

Mark got something from his bag. He injected a weak sedative in me to calm my heart.

"Thanks..." I said shakily.

"You ok now?" he asked.

"Yeah" I replied. "Mark, why do I have to suffer like this? I've suffered all my life..."

"Eric, you're not the only one going through this. Thousands of people have the same condition like yours."

I shook my head. "That's not what I meant, Mark," I said, "Why me? My forefathers and other relatives never had this disease. Only me."

He pat my back. "Hey... Come on, man. You know you're better than this."

We were silent for a few minutes. Minutes that felt like forever.

I sigh, "Im bored and I don't want to go home yet"

"Well, lets go to the mall and have some coffee and talk about your story" he said.

"I dont want to go somewhere. Well. Do you want to know how we've met?" I offered.

"Hmm that's a good idea." he said.

"So where will I start? hmm"

"The day the two of you had private things" He laughed sheepishly.

I glared at him. "You immature brat! Go home then, I don't need you. Just leave me my med. and I can take care of myself"

He stoped laughing. "Woah woah chill! Im just making you happy. Why so serious?"

"Tsk you're nonsense" I inhaled hardly to regulate the beat of my heart again. Maybe it will attack again.

"Ok then, I will be serious. I promise, cross my heart" he made a cross sign right at his throat.

"Naaaah I dont believe you. You said 'cross my heart' then why did you make a cross at you throat?"

He made another promise but now its at his chest. "Better?" he asked.

"Quit" I said

He made a sarcastic laugh. "Go on tell me you're story"

   "Ok" I cleaned my throat. "It was summer that time and I was at the mall when I saw my friend orshould I say girl friend not girlfriend, Scarlet. She is my classmate since grade 4. We became bestfriends because of my bullies. Scarlet is girly outside but acts like a guy. Surely, she isn't a lesbian tho Til I noticed that she's with someone.
