Truth hurts

Chapter 1

Hi my names Nat and this is my story but a little changed to make it more interesting. The basic facts are true, I cut, I'm quiet and I love the way music helps me escape from reality. From now on this is the story (end of A/N)

When I first heard the words "I'm sorry" I knew that I didn't want to hear the end of it. Why was I so stupid to let her run out onto the road? Even now I hear the screech of breaks and the never ending scream. But it does stop and I have to face reality.

My best friend for 10 years died in a car accident and it was all my fault. I know what people say that "it wasn't your fault" or "Don't cut yourself up about it". It's kind of ironic how I actually did. This accident happened 2 years ago but the pain is still raw.

The day started off normally and that's what hurt the most. We were walking home from school and as always we play truth or dare. (I can't tell you how many sticky situations that has gotten me in! I think the worst was when I had to go up to the hottest guy in the school and act like his girlfriend for 2 minutes in front of his real girlfriend!!!! Talk about awkward!!) Anyway it was my turn to ask and as always Sophie picked dare. I stopped in thought and looked around me for inspiration. 'Ping!' I looked out into the road and saw a bucket lying in the middle. Realising a brilliant dare I said " I dare you to run out and get the bucket then wear it all the way home!"

The look on her face was priceless but like the determined person she was she ran out and bent down to pick the bucket up. All of a sudden time slowed down as I saw a blue car thundering down the road with the stereo blaring. I screamed for Sophie to run but she didn't hear me until it was too late and the car was there and she disappeared under it.

They told me that she died of internal bleeding and brain damage but all I could feel was numbness. It was like one minute I was laughing and happy the next I was screaming and terrified. Car accidents are awful and what made it even worse was the person driving the car didn't even wait for the ambulance. I can't remember his name but I guess that doesn't matter now.

A/N

Okay sorry for being all depressing but from now on it will be better! There will be some high points and some low points but that's normal in life. Anyways comment about anything I could improve :)
