Anna's POV

Anna’s POV

Dear Anna,

I know you’re angry. You have known for a while what I’ve been planning. Bet I surprised you with this letter. You were always my rock. We had a deep bond and a connection like no one else. We have rhythm. We just click so well together. I know you’re probably furious. It’s okay. You have every right to be. I mean honestly, who am I to leave you alone to fend for yourself? But remember you have Eliza, Zander, and Kara. And I always am looking down upon. Just because I was a waste it doesn’t mean you are. I want you to live your life to the fullest. I want you to go out and have fun. I want you to be so happy. I love you Anna. I hope in time you’ll come to forgive me.

Sincerely, Brooke

I missed her so much. I was angry. How could she leave me? She was my rock. When my parents called me useless Brooke was always there for me. When Zander and I fought Brooke listened to both of us and made us work it out. When I called her crying about something my mother had said she walked to my house, even in the pouring rain. She never cared. In school she would cut class for me, she would stay home with me. She never complained once. I had always felt bad, and I was sure Brooke felt like my babysitter. I wanted her back. Brooke didn’t deserve to be bullied. She didn’t deserve any of the pain those five girls had caused her. All because of Jenny Wilder, Brittany Davis, Hayley Hayes, Katelyn Benson, and Marie Smith. Those girls had ruined my best friend’s life. I remember back when Jenny, Kara, Eliza, Brooke, and I had all been friends. But then Jenny began to get mean. She dropped Eliza as a friend and didn’t care. She called her fat and a lair and didn’t care about all the tears that Eliza had shed over it. Then she had dropped another one of my friends, Nina Hicks, and then she had dropped Brooke. But Brooke was too fragile. While Nina was strong enough to handle Jenny, Brooke sure as hell wasn’t. She lost all her friends to Jenny and only had Kara, Eliza, Zander, and me. Zander was barely around though, due to the fact he had no classes with Brooke. Kara had been Jenny’s best friend since kindergarten. She didn’t care what Jenny had done until now probably. Jenny had also been my friend but now she was dead to me. I hope she knew all the suffering she caused. I now realized it. Jenny Wilder was like a virus. She pretended to be your friend; she pretended to be there for you. Then when you were vulnerable she stabbed you in the back. Brooke had been having problems with a boy she liked and had lost a couple of friends due to it. She had been upset. The boy, Ryle Jennifer, had broken her heart. At first he acted as if he liked her. He talked to her, laughed with her. Hugged her and flirted with her. Then he stopped talking to her. HE ignored her in the hallways. Although his locker was only six away from hers he always rushed past her as quickly as he could. HE wouldn’t even glance her way. She tried calling him. He never answered. Then she tried texting. She never got responses. She tried talking to him in school but he would always turn away. He wouldn’t even be around her unless one of his friends was there. I knew Ryle was part of the reason for all of this. Brooke once told me it was so hard for her not to burst into tears every time he snubbed her and walked away. I hope you’re happy! I yelled to all the people who had caused my poor Brooke so much pain. Now because of some mean high school girls and a boy who didn’t know what he wanted. Because of these people Brooke was lying in a home for dead people. In a few days she would be rotting away in a grave. She was wasted. Brooke had always been so pretty. People used to always like her. She had a way of lighting up a room with her smile. Now it was shattered.
