-1Ok…well, I wrote this really late at night. It's really sad, and it's almost all true. I changed a few details. PLEASE REVIEW because….I dunno. But will you please?
Catherine sat at her desk. It was a cold, rainy Saturday. On her desk laid out in front of her was her 6th grade yearbook. She flipped through the pages, one by one. There was one of Dan and Grace. One of Kristina and Vicky. So many pictures. Memories.
Don't
know where you are
Wish I just could be near you
I would sail
oceans
To get a glimpse of how you feel
She stopped at the picture of Dan and Grace. Grace was wearing a maroon t-shirt and blue jeans with white skater shoes. Dan wore a black t-shirt, jean shorts and black skater shoes. She quickly flipped the page. She felt a lump form in her throat.
You're
all the things I'm looking For everything and so much more
One tear slid down her cheek. Just one. She hastily swiped it away.
What
I think
You are just perfect
Could it be
That I am worth
it
Is this thing an open door
Walk right through to something
more
You and me
My life would change in a second
In a
second
The page she was looking at was a collage- a bunch of different pictures mixed up. One of them showed Grace and Dan both smiling at the camera. Grace's hand was up near her face, and Dan was just standing. Another tear.
Don't
know how you feel
You seem to keep it to yourself
Would you
climb mountains
To show me this is something real
Catherine suddenly remembered the email she had sent Dan last year, about Grace. Stop ignoring Grace, It said. She doesn't like it. After that everything had gone downhill between them. They had been at least nice to each other, but now they wouldn't even make a tiny bit of eye contact. They'd avoid each other. Thing pain had hurt her so much. But now, everything seemed to be healing up fine. Maybe.

Another tear fell upon a page with him on it. Catherine's eyes immediately blurred.

The thought of Grace and Dan together gave her chills. They were perfect for each other. They had even been friends. Was this why it caused her so much pain to look at those pictures?
Could
it be
Could it be
You and me
You and me
Do I see
Do I
see
Clearly
Catherine remembered how she had gone to that soccer game with Grace. She had stayed as far away from the field as possible. Now that she thought about it, it made her feel a twinge of regret AND sadness.

She ran her fingers over the pictures of all the students with the last names O-Z. She couldn't help but notice his picture. She wanted to collapse on the dorm room floor crying. But she knew she couldn't. She had to be strong.

Catherine finally flipped to the last page of the yearbook. Nothing. Then, finally, she curled up into her bed, and wept.
