The Last Train

Levi

I told her she was beautiful, and I got her on her feet, and as she walked out of the bathroom, she paused, for hardly a second, but she paused in front of the bathroom mirror, looking at her reflection as if it was some sort of monster manifesting on her body. When she finally moved on, I stared into the mirror, and saw a pale, sick boy, with red, splotchy marks on his cheek from being slapped. And I thought to myself, why would Ria want to be friends with me, the one who can't even admit to his bestfriend, hes dieing.  But I can't tell her. So I write this note, and put it in our cubby, the one we used to pass notes all the time. So maybe, when I die, she reads it and all becomes clear
'Dear Ria,
    If you are reading this, it's most likely because I am dead. I loved you like a sister, but I couldn't burden you with the information. I want you to know, you have been through hell, come back, and dived head first right back into hell again, but you are strong enough to get out. I pray my death won't drag you down to hell, or lift you to heaven, but ground you on earth. Everything will become clear to you.'
It goes on like that for a while, but i'll spare you the sappy details.
