At the time, I didnt understand that I was doing this for both of us, but I'm glad I did. We were there for eachother, and we both wanted, needed to get better.
"If you're not doing it for yourself, do it for my sake", she told me when we were sitting at lunch.
I remeber nodding at her words.
I remeber promising myself that I would try crawling out of this dark temptation that was always, and still is, nagging at the back of my mind.
I owe her everything.
My health, my freinds, my need to live.
My need to persevere.
I know they are gone, but I know.
And if you're reading this, I'm telling you.
Tyler and Liam are smiling at you from where they are, and I promise you they are thanking you from not letting my sorry self end up like them.
Thank you.
I am happy, and you finally cannot say otherwise.
