The Key To Life

Destiny: The rain poured harder than ever as I stood and watched in silence.How had it come to this? It seemed like only yesterday we were chasing each other on the endless fields as we laughed our hearts out but now, she was lying there, lonely and cold and lifeless I thought as I fought to hold back my tears. It was my fault. I should have been there when she needed me most. I could have stopped this, but I didn't. I let my fears get the best best of me, and now, well here I was.

The guilt was eating me alive as i struggled to stay on my feet.I remembered how happy she yesterday was when I came back from Thailand, how she had rapped her arms around me like she had never wanted to let go. I sank down to the ground and hugged myself as hot salty tears ran down my cheeks stinging my face.

* Flashback *

Alanna: Destiny!!!!! I missed you so much!

Destiny: Alanna I am so happy to see you!

( They both hug )

Alanna: Here! I got you this!

( She handed destiny a small yellow gift box with a shining white ribbon on top)

Destiny: Oh Alanna!! Thank you so much! You didn't have to! I'll open it after ( She said as she slid it into her bag )

Alanna: Come on girl! Tiffany's waiting in the car, she had to skip cheer leading tryouts for this but she still volunteered to pick you up!

( They both start walking towards the exit )

Destiny: WOW! Really? Are we talking about Tiffany as in your big sister Tiffany or...

Alanna: I know right! Shes been going on and on about it and now she has decided that its "not her thing " .

Destiny: huh that's weird she....

* Flashback Over *

Suddenly, reality hit me and I frantically started rummaging through my bag, causing things to fly out and land on the footpath. I absolutely did not care if people thought I was crazy. "WHERE IS IT!!UGH" I exclaimed irritated. As I was about to loose my mind, I felt someone standing behind me. "Looking for this?" said a voice behind me. I turned around to see a tall hooded guy with black hair,a black mask and bright glistening blue eyes. In his hands was the yellow gift box not a speck of dirt in sight. '' Wow! Um thank you so much! You do not know how much this means to me! I'm Destiny by the way. What's your na-" before I could finish, the guy handed me the box, nodded and vanished into the shadows.

"Strange....." I thought as I started opening the box. I gasped when I saw what was inside. Neatly placed in the very center was a gold necklace with a beautiful heart pendent. I picked it up and tightly clenched it in my fist. As I brought it up close to my face, I noticed there was something written on it. " We've always been friends from the start, but the key to best friends is still somewhere in your heart. Lying there unconscious, dying for a chance. Watching every sunset, waiting for the day you'd hold my hand, the day you'd become closer, the day I could call you my best friend. " I started crying like I had cryed before. The poor girl wanted to be my BEST FRIEND and she truly was she just never knew. My heart was pounding and I felt light headed. Yet again it was my fault. I had never acknowledged her being one of my best friends. I wanted to scream. I wanted to talk to her even for a minute. I wanted to tell her I loved her and that I couldn't live without.

The world crumbled beneath my very own eyes but all I could do was cry. Cry like the selfish depressed lunatic I was. As I looked at the necklace for last time, I stopped. Everything and everyone around me stopped. The only thing that was moving was pure dark black replacing all colors in sight. As it came closer and closer to me, I fell hard on the ground. I cold feel my eyesight being taken away along with my breath as I fought to stay alive. As I took my last breath everything was silent. Everything was gone. Including me.
