• I look at you, my friend, staring back at me and sighed. We always had great times together. We promised each other that we would be best friends forever. You liar.
    You can't keep such a promise now. I remember when we first met, we were both entering middle school. I laugh as I think about those times, we were such goofballs. But, as middle school went by we got closer and closer than ever before. But, now, why didn't you tell me about this before? I could've helped you, but you said nothing was wrong. That's the second time you lied to me.
    I wish I hadn't believed you, I wished I had told someone. But, I didn't. And, it's my fault your like this.
    It feels like my stomach is burning right now, and my heart is pounding a million times in a second. I remember when I went to your house and your dad started shouting at you. But, you didn't cry, and I know it was because you didn't want to worry me.
    When we got to your room I asked if you were okay. You said you were fine. That's the third time you lied to me.
    As I left your house I heard screaming and shouting and knew that you felt alone. I wish I had gone back inside for you. But, I didn't.
    I remember the next day so clearly. I was reported to the principles office. They told me to sit down and listen. I didn't .
    I remember them telling me you weren't coming back, nor was your mom. I listened as they told me your father ,just as I had left, had shot both you and your mom.
    I knew I should've gone into hysterics as they told me this. But, I didn't.
    Now, as I look at your grave, with the picture of you and me smiling and holding each others shoulders, I know I should cry.
    So, I did.
