Me and my best friend, together till the very end.
Atleast, that's what I thought.
I'm Tina, my best friend, Natalie, has a rare illness.
I didn't know till... she passed.
Well, I witnessed her commit suicide... (+3 points for the pain master!)
I'll start at the week it happened.
Natalie, pretty and smart, never missed a single day of school.
Though, she became a loner that week, wouldn't talk to anyone, we've have small talks and she'd leave.
When she told me she was sick, I didn't want to leave her side, so our moms allowed us to have a sleep over until Natalie was better, since her illness wasn't contageous, ofcourse.
Everytime she would become weaker, she asked me to sing a song called "Drown me in fire".
I didn't understand the song, she gave me her phone with the lyric sheets with the music.
A day came when I woke up to find her sissing, her Ipod was playing the song again, on repeat...?
'Drown me in fiiiree, with the smoke you won't see me through!'
I ran out, I asked Natalie's mom if she knows where Natalie is, she said she would probably be at the beach.
I panicked, the beach was a mile long from here, I had to break the speed limit, but if that's what it takes to see my friend, then so be it.
I went to the beach, I saw the cliff we would always picnic on, I saw her there in a crowd of people.
I ran up to the cliff, just in time to see the tragedy unravel.
She was holding a gas bottle, and a... match box?
It was raining, I couldn't make out if it was a match box and a gasoline bottle, or just some snacks.
"NATALIE! Oh I'm so glad to see.... you..."
With my words, she drank the gasoline bottle, all of it.
"Natalie? NATALIE DON'T!"
She poured the remaining gasoline on her, it was a lot of gasoline.
She took a match box out.
"NATALIE!" I was struggling my way to the crowd.
I think I understand the song now...
As she finally managed to light the match, she put the match on herself.
BOOM
A walking inferno!
She threw the rest of the matches on herself making the flame grown brighter.
It's either I couldn't hear her scream or she never did.
"NATALIE NO!"
She was walking to the edge of the cliff, off the fence...
She jumped off the cliff, into the trench...
Deep.. Deep blue water, coliding with the glazing fire of what once was my friend.
Here we are now to the present..
I'd visit her grave, all the time when I have time, just to talk.
"Why didn't you tell me? Natalie I'm here, don't worry, I don't need apologies. It's raining, here, I'll share my umbrella with you."
"If you want to talk, I'm here now... I'm here... always listening.. I promise, I'll listen, I always do."

Oki, 'Drown me in Fire' song I guess... NO TUNES, IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A TUNE OR JAM, TELL ME FIRST.
'Drown me in fire'
My life can't take it anymore,
These riddles bustling through my head,
An endless route,
To my own death,
Drown me in fiiiiire,
With the smoke you won't see me through!
Life was fun,
But now I'm done
Drown me in fiiiiire,
Lonely as I can be,
I don't care how it ends,
What's the point my lovely friend?
I won't say,
that when I'll die,
I'm afraid,
That you'll cry,
Drown me,
Drown me in a place,
Where no one can see,
Where I'll be alooooone,
Drown me in fiiiire,
Lonely as I can be,
Life was fun,
But now I'm done,
Just put me out of my misery,
I'm... so.... sooooooorry.....
