Our last goodbyes

Chapter 11: our last goodbyes

"Ok, when I was in first grade I had a friend. His name was Mathew, he had dark brown hair with blue eyes. Which I loved about him. For awhile I liked him, until I caught him trying to pick a fight with tony. So I decided to call him names, he started to cry and I had to say sorry. After that we were like twins, always played and never left each other alone in the dark. Then middle school came, he started to act weird and he never called or walked with me anymore. So I thought he had forgotten me. Then he saw how the other kids were treating me and he stepped up to them. We became friends again and it felt nice. We made a promise to never leave each other and well....."

He hugged me "it's ok I don't need to know the rest" I shook my head "no you need to know ok, he played baseball and I guess he was under lots of pressure so he started to take steroids. They got to his brain and made him feel all of these emotions and it got out of control. When ever he was sad he would cry, when ever he was mad he was like the hulk! and when he was happy. Oh my god, it's like giving a kid a pound of ice cream. His dad was really hard on him so I guess he was sad and mad all the time. I guess he thought that it would be bet if he just left. So he hung himself in his room.

He had sent me a letter that said he was sorry that he broke our promise but that he couldn't take it anymore. And inside was a bracelet that I made him, so I decided to throw it in the lake. But I ended up diving for it. I always thought it was my fault that he killed himself that he did it because I never asked if he was ok, or if he wanted to talk. But one day I realized it was his choice to die and I couldn't stop him. Your dad choose to look for you and he was just so worried." He nodded. "Then I guess this is goodbye" he placed the yo-yo in front f the tomb and kneeled. "see ya around dad" I smiled and walked with him home.

I opened the door to see my brother on the couch with Molly and Charles, and tony in the kitchen making some smoosh. "Hey! want some?!" I took a hand full "Luke you can sit down ill be right back" he nodded and sat down with the rest of the family. I walked upstairs and started looking through some boxes. I flipped threw some books and paused. I flipped the page and saw what I was looking for. It was a picture of me, max, tony, and my parents sitting at the park.

I took the picture and opened my window, I took a deep breath and ripped the picture and let them fall. "bye, I love you" I cried a little, I went back down and sat next to Luke and watched my family have a great a night.
