Listen to the music while reading to get a deep feel of this part.

It happened so fast. It seems like yesterday I had saw her. I know everything happens for a reason but sometimes I wish I knew what that reason was.

Sophie Summers, died thirteen days after the last visit to the hospital.
The days got colder and colder. I missed Sophie so much, the fun days and happy times.

My favorite memory of Sophie and I was when she came out of the hospital and mom planned my first date for us. It was nothing special, just her visiting my home and playing video games together. I remember  beating her in Mario kart 8. I felt so bad for her, I lean in and kissed her on her lips, for the first time. It was a magical moment but now I had to attend my first girlfriend's funeral. I combed my hair, put on my glasses and wore my new tuxedo. After getting ready to leave, I grabbed a quick snack and headed into the car.

Once we got to the funeral we sat on the cold benches, listened to a few hymns and prays. I was going to say a speech but I was too sad to do so. I looked at my mom and dad with tears running down my eyes. My little brother, Ethan hugged me and I just started crying more.

Sophie's parents came towards me when she saw me in tears. Her mother stood next to me and handed me an envelope, then I asked,"What's this?"

 "After the funeral, I want you to read this. It's from Sophie." She responded

After the long funeral services we all went home. I felt empty, I felt like their was no reason to live anymore. I lied on my bed, took the envelope Mrs. Summers gave me and opened it. I started reading the letter that was inside:

Dear Kaleb,
If you're reading this I'm probably dead. I know this might be sad for you but don't cry darling. Everything would be alright.

To cheer you up a bit, I will tell you a story before I met you. Lunch times, at school, I saw you sitting by yourself, all alone. I thought to myself how a cute guy like you could be all alone. I didn't had the courage to talk to you so I sat with a group of classmates and watched you from a distance. One day, I finally had the courage to talk to you but as I was going to talk to you, I saw a group of my friends surrounding you and picking on you. I didn't know what to do so I just ate quietly. For weeks they continued, I saw tears in your eyes so I got up and shouted at them because ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!

"Be my friend or not I don't care. You're hurting an innocent boy. For what? To laugh, for games? What if he was you!" I shouted. They watched me with their mouths open and mocked me. A guy came up to me and throw food right in my face so I slapped him so hard. They never bothered you again. I looked at you and smiled.

I want you to be strong. Make me proud. Over the passed months, being with you has made me forget about the pain I had. You made me feel as if I didn't had this problem.
Even though I was giving trouble to walk, I tried, but I end up falling down. I ended up with tears in the hospital. I wanted to be able to live a normal life so I took a risk. I wanted to do surgery for you .

You're an amazing boyfriend and best friend but I want you to move on. Go out and find someone who makes you happy. A person who makes you smile. I love you Kaleb. Goodbye.
From your love,
Sophie Summers.

"I love you too Sophie." I sobbed.

"I-- Wish you were here-- with me once more." I sat on my bed while tears ran down my face.
