I woke up this morning feeling extremely tired. I didn't really feel like going to school today but I had to since I won't be at school for a couple of months.
I got up from my bed, brushed my teeth and took a shower. Since everyone already knew about the pregnancy, I decided to wear a summer dress and some sneakers.

I went downstairs to get breakfast. Mom made me an omelette and a fruit salad. I heard a car pull up in the driveway and I grabbed my food and walked to the door. I looked through the peephole and saw that it was Derek.
I walked to his car and gave him a hug. "hey baby." "Hey wifey." he said then kissed my cheek.
I got into the car and he drove me to school. "I'll see you later okay? Call me when you need anything." He said through his window. I waved him goodbye and walked into the school building.
While walking to my locker, I noticed that Monica wasn't at school yet which was really weird because she's usually here before me. Me: hey b. why aren't you at school? Ride or Die🤪💗: I'm not feeling well. Nah, she's definitely lying. Monica always comes to school, whether she's sick or not. She's always here. Me: I know you're lying, what's wrong? Ride or Die🤪💗: It's nothing, we'll talk later okay. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ While I was taking down notes in AP Psychology, the intercom started buzzing. "Miss Jones, please report to the principal's office. Miss Jones, please report to the principal's office, thank you."
Since it was almost the end of the lesson i grabbed my bag and headed to the principal's office. When I got there I saw Derek with his head in his hands and he was tapping his foot.
He jerked his head towards me and looked at me with sorry eyes. Then Principal Morris walked to me and put his hand on my shoulder. "This young man came to fetch you, he said you won't be able to attend school for the rest of the week. I'll ask your teachers to send you your schoolwork."
I walked out with Derek while he held my hand. We got into the car and Derek sat with his head in his hands and he sighed. "Hey, what's wrong." i said while rubbing his back. he was quiet for a while then he looked up at me. "Moma, I don't know how to tell you this..." my heart started racing, now i was really worried. "W-What? Just tell me." "Monica..." he looked me in my eyes and held my hands. "She's dead."
My heart sank. I just froze as the tears rolled down my face. Derek pulled me in for a hug and rubbed my back trying to comfort me. "What happened? Who did it? Why?" i said between breaths. "Let's go to her house, her mom wants to see you."
We drove to Monica's house and there were two cars parked in the driveway. We walked in and Monica's mom looked at me and pulled me in for a hug. "Aaww baby, i'm so sorry." "I should be saying sorry to you Mrs Miller, she was your daughter." "but you, you were her best friend. she loved you way more than she loved me and you guys we really close." "What happened? Who did it to her?" "S-she took her own life sweetheart." Mrs Miller started crying and her hugged her.
Why would she do that to herself? She seemed okay to me? Why, Why, Why?
Mrs Miller walked to the table and grabbed something that looked like an envelope. "I think this is for you." She handed me a letter and told me to read it once i get home.
After talking to Mrs Miller for a while, Derek took me home and we sat in my room for a while. "Do you think I should read it now?" "Well, I think it's the best way to know what happened to her."
I couldn't believe anything that i just read, it all seems so unreal. I sat in silence trying to process everything that happened today. I can't believe she's gone. My best friend is gone.
Monica's letter: Dear Moma, i know you're probably wondering why i did it. it was for my own good, i couldn't handle everything that was going on. I didn't want to tell you because you already had so much on your plate.
ever since my dad relapsed, things haven't been so great. i constantly have to listen to him beating up my mom and sometimes he abuses me too. you probably wouldn't have noticed since i've been covering the bruises up.
I've been depressed for the past four months and after you were kidnapped and everything, i didn't think it was ever gonna be the right time to tell you all of this.
thank you for being my best friend, the only person that gave a shit about me. the only person who stuck by me through my ups and downs, mostly downs. you stayed by my side even when i was being a complete bitch.
just know that none of this is your fault. please DO NOT blame yourself for any of this. this was a choice i made because i think it's for the best. i couldn't handle the pain anymore.
i love you, forever and always. -Monica.
