AN: Yesterday a girl in my year group at school died in a car crash. I go to an all girls school in a year of just 100 students and the shock of losing her so suddenly and pointlessly has shaken us all. This girl sat in front of me in History yet we barely spoke and it's not until something like this happens that you truely realise how important and fragile life really is. Before finding out who it was I had heard there had beena student involved in a crash at either my school or the adjoining boys school. Both my best friend and my boyfriend had been out driving last night and I hadn't heard from either of them. The thought that I might of lost them made me feel so empty I could barely stand it, so my heart truely goes out to her family and friends as they try to pick themselves up. The whole day I have sat with my friends, trying to reason how this can happen; because it's always someone else at someone elses's school and so I wrote this in my lunch break because I can't think about losing people I love anymore.
I'm not asking for reviews, just prayers.
This is for Jo. xx
God he missed her.
God oh God.
It wasn't until she had gone that he realised how much he needed her. Not wanting, it was no longer just lust that he felt, he needed her smile, her laugh, her very presence. Without it he felt lost. Sat in a boat, no direction without her beside him, just a bottle of rum and a broken compass.
"true enough, this compass does not point north…it points to the thing you want most in the world."
He threw it away. What use was it to him when the very thing he wanted he could never have?
