I didn't eat. I don't sleep. I didn't move. I laid in the same position on my bed for days. My mom had tried to get me to come out of my room but I just ignored her. Day by day I I cried and cried until there were no more tears. All I could think about was how I never got to say goodbye.
I got the call two days ago in the early morning. All I was told was that my best friend in the whole world died. She committed suicide. Me and Kate we're friends since we we're 4 until now and we we're 18. I missed school today and probably would tomorrow too.
Nobody got how close we we're. That girl was my everything. Now she was gone.

It's been two weeks and life was starting to settle as much as it could right now. My heart felt empty and I went from happy and outgoing to depressed and shy. Today was my first day back to school. I am now in 7th period and next is a free period.
Everyone had been so kind and sweet but I'm still lousy. The bell rung ending my thoughts. I stood up and walked to the library. Once I was there I sat down. A little after Jack Avery, an aquaintance of mine, sat next to me.
"Hi," he greeted.
"Hello," I respond.
"Sorry for your loss."
"Thank you."
"How have you been?"
"Well to be honest terrible. I miss her so much. All I want to do is cry. I don't eat anymore and I don't want to do anything...Sorry I shouldn't have told you all that, why would you care?"
"I care because I see an amazing gurl struggling right now I don't know how I can help but i am here to talk and listen. It's going to be hard but you can get through this. It's very unhealthy to not eat. Try something small and eat more each day," Jack tells me.
I stare at him in awe. Nobody really seemed to care but this boy, this noodled headed, unknown boy, cared. He seemed to anyways. I sent him a genuine smile we continued to talk.

4 years later:
Today is the 4 year anniversary of Kate's death. Jack was right, it's been very hard. Somehow Jack's always made it better after that day we became close friends. He forced me to eat and made me myself again. I was happy again. Of course not complete because I always missed her but as much as I could be.
Me and Jack have been dating for 2 years now. We live in an apartment with our 2 month old daughter Jennifer Kate Avery. She was our little surprise but she is our little angel. I got into a deep depression before she was born but when I doubt out I was pregnant with her, I snapped out of it.
Jennifer has made me a better person and I couldn't be any more grateful for her and her father. Depression is an evil things that changed tou as a person. Luckily for me I've managed to find who I am again with an amazing support system and my angel.
