Chapter 6

(In this chapter we get to the suicide and the mentioning of cutting. You have been warned)

"You'll always be my best friend."

Allura tightened in my grip, her hands digging into me as she pushed herself away, "I... I see," she forced a smile onto her face, "Just... Just don't worry about me, OK? You're right, you know what's best for me, and I trust you."

Before I could say anything Allura's smile broke as she turned and ran back to her house. Once the door shut I could hear a muffled scream coming from inside. Why did this hurt so much? Was this really the right choice? I shook the thoughts out of my head and walked back into my house. Even with the amazing time I had with Nyma, I still feel horrible to just come in here and pretend like nothing happened.

"I'll walk her to school tomorrow!" I decided out loud, "We'll hang out after school too, and have a great time in the club room."

I sighed and ran a hand through my hair. I have to find a way to make this up to her, to get things back to the way they were.

~~~~~

My phone alarm blared in my ear since I slept with it right next to me. Trying to shut it off I ended up knocking the damn thing off the bed. I fumbled around, my arm instantly falling asleep the moment I hung it off the bed. The little pringles that my arm felt slowly found their way to my phone where the alarm was finally turned off. I laid there for a few minutes before remembering what I promised Allura the night before. I sat up and walked across the hall in my underwear to use the bathroom and all the other stuff as well. After getting dressed and eating breakfast I grabbed my stuff and walked out the door. I was on time and ready to make everything up to Allura.

I still believe that what I did was right. The last thing that she needed right now was a boyfriend. She needed a friend to be by her side. I walked up the steps to her door and knocked. Her parents are normally at work by now, which explains why she's always late. When Allura didn't answer I knocked again, getting the same response.

With a deep sigh, I reached over into the flowers and dug out the key. I unlocked the door and called out for Allura once again to get no response. I made my way upstairs to Allura's room. The door was decorated with fake, pink flowers and stickers. I braced myself for the bright white and pink room and opened the door.

"Allura! It's time to-."

~~~~~~~

It's been two months, one week, and four days since Allura's... incident. I can't even say what happened to her. When my parents found out they had asked if they needed to come home, but I turned it down. The last thing I needed was their constant sympathy. I continued to go to school, walking to and from school alone. The club hadn't met during that time, mainly due to the fact that everyone was affected by Allura's absence.

It wasn't until today that I had remembered the club. Keith had walked up to me with a letter. He didn't say anything but gave me the letter with a smile. Unlike other people, his smile wasn't one of sympathy. It was real like he was treating me like a real person. Once he left I opened the letter and read it silently.

Dearest Lance,

Today the club is getting together again to see if anyone wants to continue the club. If you could, could you please come? I know that Allura's death has had its toll on you, but seeing everyone again will be good for you, whether you think so or not.

I know I'm asking a lot, but I'm counting on you!

Thanks, Keith

I felt my lips form into a smile, Keith's words being encouraging. I folded the letter and tucked it away. School went by in a blur like it normally did. Once the last bell rang I walked up the steps to the club room and slid open the door. Everyone was already there and looked up. Smiles rested on their faces and the girls ran to me.
