I'm from the Netherlands so I'm sorry for my really really really bad English!! But I hope you enjoy this:)
'I wanna kill myself.' She said.
'Me too.' I said, because I didn't know how else to react.
'When shall we do it?' I thought she was joking so I answered with: 'Wednesday.' But now I know she wasn't joking...It was Thursday in the morning, I texted her because we used to go to school together. When she didn't answer, I went to her house. I knocked on the door and hoped her dad would open it and say that she was still sleeping, like always. It wasn't her dad but her mom. Her mom never liked me, I didn't know why but that wasn't important because she started crying immediately. 'What's wrong?' She didn't answer quickly. 'Anna,' she said, 'she's dead.'
It was like the whole world just stopped. I couldn't see anything because my eyes were filled with tears. Anna was my best friend, maybe more. I thought she was joking! I could have stopped her, but I didn't. It was my fault, her death was my fault! I thought she was happy, I thought she loved me enough to stay alive, because I did. But now, my light was gone, forever. 'Brittany?' I tried to listen to her mom's words, 'it's gonna be okay.' No, it's not, it's not gonna be okay! 'I'm sorry..' Said I quietly and I grabbed my bike. 'Britt?!' Shouted Anna's mom, but I was gone already and I didn't even know where I was going.
It started to rain. Anna hated rain, so I was her sunshine. I was Anna's only best friend, because she was too shy to talk to people. She always hated herself, but I knew how to make her laugh. "Knew", I could never make her laugh again, never. I felt terrible, even worse. I saw a little cafe in the forest so I joined it. A short, fat man with a long, brown beard stood behind the bar. 'Gooooood morning!!' He said happily, I didn't say anything. 'Astin?!' Shouted the man, 'Can you help this little girl?!' I closed my eyes, all I wanted to do was sleep but I couldn't. I looked up and saw an average boy with black hair. It was Skylar! Skylar was one of my good friends and Anna's ex-boyfriend. 'What's wrong?' He said while seeing my sad face. 'It's about Anna...' 'What? Did she leave you?' 'No. But..' ' Did she fall in love with someone?' 'No! Skylar..' 'Does she still love me?!' 'No Skylar let me finish!!' I realised I was talking very loud. 'She-,' the tears ran down my cheeks, 'She killed herself..' 'WHAT?!' Skylar dropped the plate and he became mad. 'I told you to keep her safe! I told you to make her happy! You promised me to do that! This is all your fault!' He waited, 'I know Skylar, I know!' I cried. He started hugging me; 'I'm sorry. I don't know how hard this must be for you..' We sat in the cafe until the barman became mad, he wanted to go home.
The next morning I didn't go to school, I fell on my bed when I heard my phone ring, someone called me. It was one of my good friends Hailee. She was the only one a bit close with Anna. 'Hi Britt.' Said a soft, lovely voice. 'Hey..' 'Are you okay?' I waited a second before I answerd. 'Anna, she..' 'I know that's why I called, should I come by?' 'No, you don't have to, really.' 'I'm coming!'
A few minutes later I heard the bell ringing. I opened the door and saw a tall girl with brown hair. 'Hi Hailee.' She hugged me. 'I've got news for you.' She walked in and sat on the couch. 'You know my dad's a police man, right?' I nodded. 'Anna's body is never found.' I was shocked and couldn't speak. 'They only found a ring with a little heart on top of it.' 'I gave her that..' 'She may be alive!' She said after a long time. 'No,' I said, 'I would only be disappointed if that isn't true.' We said for a long time. 'I still can't believe it.' I said. 'She can't be dead!' Said Hailee. 'We need to find her!' She was crying. 'Hailee, I know this is hard, but she's dead. This isn't like a movie where she turned out to be alive, you can't look for her and find her! You need to calm down!' Hailee stopped crying and nodded. 'Can I stay here tonight?'
We had a sleepover and I forgot Anna for a while. 'You know what we should do?' 'Hmm?' 'Leave town.' 'We can't do that!' 'Yes, we can! I can borrow my dad's car!' 'Hmm, okay..' And soon, we left town and slept in a tent in the forest.
It was mondag morning, you could only hear the little birds. I woke up an went to the river to get some water, it was very warm in the forest. When I arrived at the river I saw a waterfall. It was the first time I thought of Anna again, she loved waterfalls. I bowed to get water and saw something shiny floating on the water. I waited for it to reach me and picked it up. It was a bracelet, Anna's bracelet.
Here's my first chapter! Let me know what you think:)
