Our missing friend

Chapter 73

I lay on my bed just needing some quiet time before I leave.

I wish Daisy was here, she should be here. I never thought I would have to go to her funeral. It was so surreal to me I know she was gone but still it wasn't easy.

Her parents moved away that next week and I don't blame them and Cole is taking it day by day.

I actually haven't even been home since prom, I've been staying the night at either rubys or Felixs house until today.

I get off my bed and look underneath my bed and pull out the box that Daisy mom gave to me after she died. It has the picture frame that was in her room and some little things for me to remember her by. There's also and envelopes that I haven't opened yet.

I take a deep breath and open the envelope, 4 letters fall out of it. Each one has one of our names on it.

I pick up the one that has my name on it in Daisy hand writing. I open it up

Dear Hazel,

If your reading this then that means Im gone..
I know your probably angry and sad and I'm sorry I caused you that pain, but please for me be happy and live your life and make everyday count. I'm so grateful for the time we had together since you found me, I know it was short but I'll cherish it always. I don't think I ever really told you how much I appreciate you coming and finding me. Thank you Hazel. If it wasn't for you I would still be in that cabin by myself. You never gave up on me you are the best friend a girl could ask for and I am so lucky to have you in my life. After I'm gone please take care of Felix, Ruby, and Trevor they look up to you and I know they are going to need you more than ever now so please don't plush them away. Also please take care of Cole, he's hurting I'm sure and he will feel so alone and I won't be able to be there for him so please take care of him. Have a good life Hazel, I hope to see you in the next life.

P.s. Sorry I wasn't able to buy you that drink at our 10th reunion. - Love always and forever Daisy

I can't fight back the tears that come streaming down my face and falling on the letter. It feels like I was able to talk to her again and get some peace. She right I am sad and angry but she made me realize that we only get one life so I need to make it count.

I hear a knock on my bedroom door and I quickly wipe away the tears "come in" I tell who ever knocked

Felix opens the door and look at me with a worried expression "are you okay?"

"Yeah yeah" I nod

"You ready?" He asks me

I look at the time and we need to leave.

"Yeah" I quickly grab my stuff and the letters

I go outside and get in Felix car, Ruby and Trevor are already inside.

"I can't believe today we graduate from high school" Ruby says amazed and a tad bit sad

"I wish Daisy was here" Trevor mutters

"She is in some way" I say and hand each one of them the letter Daisy wrote for them

"What's this?" Felix asks me

"Daisy wrote each one of us a letter" I smile at them sadly

I'm not sure what is each one of there letter but I know it's only for them and the things she wanted that person to know.

We get out of the car. "Put your cap on" Ruby tells me

I sigh but do as I'm told.

We go sit down on the bleachers together, I look at everyone's faces. I see zero, Amy, and heather, and Cole he even came. I wonder if this is the last time I will ever see some of these faces or at least until our 10th reunion.

It's funny I wanted to leave this place so badly now I'm sad to go and move on and see where I go from here. It's scary but I'm ready.

"What you smiling about" Felix nudges my shoulder and whispers to me

"Nothing I'm just happy and sad and all the above" I laugh and shake my head

He kisses the side of my head and I smile at him and look over at Trevor and Ruby and give them a smile as well. I wish Daisy was here with us but I'm grateful for the time we had together.
