Bloody Flowers

Losing Friends Hurts.

               Who said love couldn't kill? Apparently,many people did,but they were wrong. Oh they were so wrong,because here i was,staring at the body who once belonged to one of my classmates. Sarah was such a sweet and beautiful girl,  she had everything. Yet a month ago, a sharp pain in her chest made her pass out. Since then,she wasn't the same; always coughing,choking on air and crying. I've never seen her cry,but let me tell you,your heart would break at how painful her cries sounded. Sarah got weaker as days passed,and one day,she started coughing up blood, and as the blood was staining the wooden floor, purple petals were joining the red mess. This was insane! I took her to the nurse and there,she called an ambulance. The doctors were worried,but you could see it was not their first encounter with such a case. What i didn't know was that Sarah could recover,but she refused. This wonderful girl was madly in love with a boy who..did not feel the same for her at all. This is known as the Hanahaki Disease, an illness born from unrequited love. One of the only ways for the disease to 'disappear' is if, the said person returns the feelings. The infection can also be removed through surgery, though the feelings disappear along with the petals and in some cases,the patient forgets the person they were in love with. Sarah decided to sacrifice herself for that scumbag! She chose to die instead of forgetting him. Why would she-- But i knew i couldn't change her mind. So here i was. Staring at her body as hot tears flooded my eyes. My friend just suffocated right in front of my eyes. And i couldn't do shit about it.This was the third person i watched die in the last two months. So tell me, Who said love doesn't kill?

Today is Sarah's funeral. Even dead,she still looks amazing.  I just lost a friend,a soulmate. Someone like her will never be born again , and such things make you understand how unique and important we all are. I look at her one last time before they close the casket and lower her six feet under the ground,where she'll be surrounded by darkness. Sarah hated darkness , her place wasn't in that casket...She had dreams,she was so bright. I wouldn't have seen this day come so soon. All these thoughts fill my mind as i walk towards my house , and for the first time, i am glad it is raining. The sky is weeping as well , and nobody can see the tears that roll down my face. I couldn't protect you, and I am sorry Sarah. 

I wish i could say this was all but...the next week at school,my desk mate,Aurora , started violently coughing. I froze as i noticed a petal in her hands "Oh my God,please,not you too--"I mumbled and grabbed her arm,rushing towards the infirmary ,ignoring the teacher that was yelling after us in the distace. Once we got there,i begged the nurse to call an ambulance,and thank God she did so,because after just a minute,Aurora collapsed in my arms. The ambulance arrived quicker than i expected and once they took Aurora,i rushed inside as well,trying really hard not to let my tears fall. I felt as if history was repeating itself and i couldn't just watch another friend of mine die in front of me. 

         That's when i decided i would never fall in love. I do not want to die like this,and i do not want to waste any money on some stupid surgery to save my life. Love is bullshit. And i don't want to ever experience it.
