Hard Times Will Always Reveal True Friends- Lanceardo

Dreams may change but friends are forever

Staring at him from my bedroom window that day, I knew something was wrong. The bags under his usually bright but now dull eyes, the dry tears streaked across his now pale face, the loss of connection between him and I. Something was wrong, but I didn't know what to do.

We hadn't spoken in a while and I was becoming nervous about how to talk to him. I made an effort to hang out with him and catch up, but it always seemed very one sided, like he didn't care anymore.

It started when Jada came into our lives, I never liked her but Ric took an instant liking to her, insisting she was the coolest girl he had ever met. As the two got closer, I slowly became left behind and I wasn't even aware of when they started dating, it was almost like I was forgotten.

Sure, back then we still talked, but it was always about Jada. If I ever tried to change the subject, he wouldn't talk to me, it was Jada or nothing, and even though I didn't care for Jada at all, I cared for our friendship, so I would pretend to take an interest in everything he said about Jada.

The real test of friendship began when he started hanging out with Jada's group of friends, Ric and I were pretty well known, but never popular, at least, not as popular as Jada and her friends.

Every time I told Ric we were drifting apart, he insisted that nothing was wrong and I was just jealous because I wasn't hanging out with the popular kids. I didn't say anything after that but he took it as a sign of victory and so he spent the next two weeks or so trying to hook me up with popular girls so I could hang out with them.

But it was obvious that Jada and her friends didn't like me so I never got in, I couldn't have cared less, the feeling was mutual. I only started to care when Jada had begun talking trash about me to Ric. One day we got into a fight because he accused me of not caring about our friendship, insisting I didn't even try to get along with the popular kids, it was true that I didn't, but it certainly wasn't because I didn't care for our friendship, I was shocked to say the least,I couldn't believe he would think that. But the petty fights continued and eventually we did stop talking all together, we didn't hate each other then, but we certainly weren't close anymore.

It was only a couple weeks ago when the bullying started. Jada had managed to convince Ric that I was flirting with her and bad talking the whole group, I denied, but obviously he didn't believe me, so the bullying started. At first, I was mad, I couldn't believe the nerve of him, but I soon traded my anger for sadness as past memories of our friendship had started clouding my thoughts.

My life was a living hell, I couldn't focus on anything besides the bruises that covered my body and my brain. Soon after the popular kids started bullying me, I was free game for everyone else. Those brave enough not to bully me, instead got bullied themselves and besides the hate I was already receiving everywhere, guilt was then added to the midst of my pain.

One day, as I was limping to school, I spotted Jada making out with another guy, I rolled my eyes in annoyance, anger building up inside of me. Although it seemed obvious that Ric couldn't have cared less about me, I still cared about him, so I decided to give him a note to let him know. I didn't put my name on it, but he found out it was me. Of course he didn't believe a thing I said and thought it was to get him and Jada to break up, it was, but not because I didn't care about him, it was because I did,but he took it the wrong way and the abuse increased.

After that, I no longer tried to get Freddy to be my friend anymore, I no longer tried at all. I fell into a deep depression and I didn't want to be saved. I still don't want to be saved, I want to die. I continued to see Jada cheat on Ric and people get bullied because they didn't want to bully me, I finally had enough.

So here I am in my bed room, that's about to become my death room. I have left a note on my dresser, not that anyone would care, I just want them to know. Before I did the deed, I decided to look out my window at the guy who used to be my best friend, I let the memories poor in for a while before I let myself look at his drained, tear stained face. I felt the pain of seeing him like that pierce my heart, and I let it. I don't ever want to see someone like that and know they are in that state because of me, especially not him.

I wipe the tears I didn't know were there off my face and decided to hurry up and do it, it would make everyone happier, it would make Ricardo happier and all I want is for him to be happy.

I decided to send him a text for some stupid reason, it's not like he would care enough to stop me anyway. I know he doesn't care about me, but I still care about him, and even though he won't care, he deserves to know.

Hey Ric :)
I know you couldn't care less about me
and want me to die, but don't worry, I'm working
on it for you :). Before I leave I just want to say I'm sorry
for all the pain I've caused you, I'm sorry for
making you pretend to care, you won't have to
anymore, no one will. Please be happy, not for
me, but for Jada and all your new friends that you
actually care about. Yeah, there's a lot of pain
in my life, but I'm mostly doing this for you, I can't
bear to see you in pain so I won't, infact I won't
see anything now. Stay golden Ric :)
Love, Lance

Once I send the text, I walk over to wear the rope is secured. I look at it and smile, the first smile I've smiled in awhile, knowing that after this there will be no more pain and Ric will finally be happy. I climb atop the chair and put the loop of the rope around my neck, I take one last look at the window before I jump and am puzzled when Ric isn't there, maybe he left.

I jump, but the last thing I hear is a door banging open very close by and a scream that sounds masculine and very familiar, then, all is darkness.............
