Last Ride with Him

. . . .

Seven sharp the sun was already up, and we immediately left the city. It was a happy trip with full of happiness anda excitement. We went to many destinations. In the forest, we just sat down there and we had snacks. Another was at the park, we enjoyed chasing around the playground, and we felt like we were kids once again. Then another one was a small river. We enjoyed washing up Jharen's cas, while we played with the water. Everyone got wet. We lie down the grass and then we waited until we dry up.

Our last destination was at  lover's bridge, 33 kilometers from the town. After this, we'll all be going home at last. We all stood at the right side of the bridge facing the white sand beach, where we witnessed the sun as it sets. The fresh air was undoubtedly relaxing that it caused me to close my eyes and freely breathed it in.

In the middle of the cool breeze of the sea, a warm hand held me. I don't know why I was hoping it was James. I opened my eyes and I was surprised when I saw it's really him, James. I should have removed my hand from his hand but I didn't, instead, there was something inside me that pushed me to tightend it. We looked at each other's eyes and had a common understanding. We smiled at each other and returned our look at the sunset.

Suddenly he whispered "I will take care of you, I promise" I was touched and after a while, a tear flowed down my cheeks. I don't know why but that time, all I did was to wish that it wouldn't end. But it did.

The sun is nowhere to be seen already, so we decided to go home. Jharen is the driver, beside him is Chloe at their back is Sheila, Jenny, and Daniel at the rear part was Carlo and James who chose to stay beside me. I was so tired and exhausted so I didn't notice that I fell asleep.

I was awakened by a loud crash and a strong impact that shook the ground. As I opened my eyes, around me are wrecked pieces of the car we were riding.

Everyone was screaming for help. The other were conscious. It was only then that everything sank in to my senses we I figured in we're on an accident.

I didn't know what to do. I can't barely move, something heavy is on top of me, but I can't see it because my head was fixed in front because of that heavy thing. I wasn't harmed except for a one inch cut in my leg.

When I realized that the heavy thing on the top of me was moving, I cleared everything to see what or who it was. It was James! He smiled at me but tears were flowing out of his eyes, he said in a very small and weak voice " L-like what i h-have said, I'll take care of you" Then his voice faded and all of a sudden, I can't already feel his pulse.

I placed my hand on top of his chest to feel his heartbeat, but there was already none. I cried. I embraced him, telling him not to leave me, to stay. However, nothing can bring him back now because he's gone.

He gave up his life for me until his last breath. In that moment , he was still thinking of my safety. What happened to us was such a misery.

Now, I must learn to let go of that tragic memory. But never will I let go of the happy memories left by my friends, especially the sacrificf and love given by James, although he never spoke of it. The road trip of our friendship is not yet finished. It still continues and with their memories will always be present.
