Best Friend Forever

C5

"Ly, what's wrong?"

"Den, I..."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to worry you. I'm fine."

I paced myself.

No'w not the right time.

Damn, I hate situations like this...

"I was so worried about you... Is anything wrong?"

There she goes again with her concern.

Her same concern that makes me want to say the truth.

Yet forces me to make the most blatant lies.

God, I can't get my mind straight!

"Ly, stop walking and answer me!" she shouted.

"I'm perfectly fine! There, I answered you, happy?!"

I didn't know what got to my head at that moment.

I was sad, angry, frustrated, confused, tired...

I didn't even know what emotion to pull out.

"What is wrong with you Alyssa!? Are you mad or something?"

"I'm not mad!"

"Den, I'm a busy person too."

"I get stressed from school, home and all that I do."

"But it's not all the time that I fall down and stand right back up."

"Den, I have my own life too, and you have yours."

"It's not every minute that you're the one that's on my mind!"

I bit my lip.

I think I might have said a little too much.

That's why I run away.

"Ly, wait!"

I heard her faint voice while I was running.

Yeah, she called my name.

She probably wanted to clarify this.

But I knew she wouldn't come after me.

Who the I am anyway?

I'm simply her bestfriend.

Just... her bestfriend...

Easy to find and easy to replace.

Awhile later..

As I reached the staircase, I suddenly felt the oxygen in my body dwindling.

I can't breathe.

God, not this again.

This is why I can't defend anyone...

I'm just to...

weak...

This is why Den and I can't be.

"Hey are you alright?"

I lost conciousness.

The last thing I heard was a voice.

"Den?"
