Stairs

Richard

I sat in my room and felt this was my fault. I should have been the one to run and stop him. I had no idea he would do something that stupid. I was looking at the ceiling. I couldn't get that picture out of my mind. Paul was hurt really bad and that picture stayed in my mind.

I walked into the room and sat next to him. He was a mess. "Hey, buddy I know you can't hear me. But, I still want you to know we miss you a lot. We all are sad and hurt."

I put my head down and cried. I didn't know Arielle walked into the room. I didn't know she heard everything. She put her hand on my shoulders.

"Richard, that was nice of you to say."

"Thanks."

I got up and left I ended up getting waisted. I wanted this out of my mind. I couldn't take it.
