The air was still as if it were holding its breathe waiting for me as I approached the ledge. I could feel myself pushing back tears as I clutched the fragile locket in my hands; I traced its dainty designs with my finger. "So mom and dad are getting the divorce after all. I guess you were right E. I don't know why I ever doubted you about that one I mean it was obvious! I guess I tried to block it out like what happened......" I muttered looking up at the milky white moon. It seemed to look down at me with sympathetic beams of light. My hands gripped the marble ledge tighter. "Eliza it's been so hard not seeing you. Seeing your bright blue eyes and the way you would always play with your hair when you were sad and the way you could make up a story to make me feel better! I miss you Eliza I-I need you back! Why did you have to leave?" I screamed at the sky.
The stars seemed to loose there brightness as I sat there and sobbed. My hair flew into my face as the wind blew harder and clouds rolled in. But I didn't care I just sat there still in the clothes I wore to the funeral and sobbed. Even as the rain poured I sat there looking at the only thing I had left of her; her picture in my locket and the BFF bracelet she made me. I clutched them tightly thinking about her when suddenley I heard footsteps. I looked up to see about my age peering at me with an umbrella extended out for me.
"What are you doing out here in the rain? And well who are you?" He sinabi as he sat down across from me with a blue umbrella covering him from the rain that was now coming down sa pamamagitan ng the buckets. "I heard somebody crying out here so I just wanted to see what is the matter."
"My name is Annastasia Levito. And I'm here trying to escape my life!" I replied "What happened that made you so upset that you're in out in the rain without an umbrella?" I sighed and took a deep breath. "My friend she-she jumped off a bridge a couple days nakaraan so she could kill herself. And ummm this was her fifth attempt I had to talk her out of all the rest but you know she was a fiesty one. I mean she was my best friend! She was the only person who understood me and now she's dead! And the way I found out was I got a text from her before she jumped saying 'this is the end goodbye' So that's why. Not to mention my parents are getting a divorce tomorrow and my friend funeral is today! I sinabi burrying my face in my lap.
I cried and without warning the boy scooted susunod to me and put his arm around my shoulder. "I see and so you ran away because things were getting rough huh?" I sighed "Yeah I mean between my parents yelling, my sister being a brat, and seeing my friend lying in a casket I couldn't take it! And when I tried to say a few last words her parents didn't even care in fact they didn't even ipakita up! She deserved a better life and a better family! I mean both of our lifes weren't perfect but she deserved one madami than me" I sobbed as I looked up at the moon. The boy looked me in the eyes "I see. You must've really cared for her then didn't you?"
Looking up I saw that the storm was letting up. "I'm Matt b the way come on let's go inside I'll get you something warm to wear and something to eat ok?"
"Ok." I replied taking his hand as he leaded me inside.
