Tears stared streaming down my face. My eyes where filled with water, I couldn’t see a thing. Why was I so upset? I was wondering how I was going to live without her. I heard a car pull up. It was my best friends mum. My best friend pronounced, “I have to go, I’ll miss you.” She tightly squeezed me and said, “Goodbye.”
As she left, I found myself wandering along the cliffs, I already knew this was destroying my life.
Now I had no one to trust, to tell my deepest thoughts too. I was sitting on the edge of the cliff. It felt like ice-cold bullets were spearing into me. This was so painful. I had this feeling, like something was wrong, so I went home. I switched on the TV. Terrible imagines appeared on the screen. I instantly knew it was my best friend.
Later that day… Mum came into my room with tears in her eyes and I knew what she was going to say to me. Tears started running down my face.
“It was her wasn’t it, she’s gone isn’t she, I know it?”
I rushed past Mum and went to the place where we first met. I felt close to her there. I was depressed. I couldn’t believe I’d lost her. Every day I would come to meet her on the edge of the cliff.
I could hear her above every day and I knew she was still here with me….
