4 Years, Six Months, and 2 days, Later.
Here we are. The same place, the same time.
Just the 11 of us, how it always should have been. All of us have been brought here by a pact, made because of one of us.
We look down to our 11th member.
It says,
Here lies James Tiberius Yorke.
Loved by all.
A beloved son and the best friend anyone could ask for.
We made this pact 4 years ago. Today was the exact date we were supposed to come, and everyone was accounted for, even him.
Flashback.
As everyone was leaving the graveyard, only 10 of us stayed behind.
Emma Nelson
Sean Cameron
Jay Hogart
Paige Michalchuk
Ellie Nash
Jimmy Brooks
Manuela Santos
Toby Isaacs
Craig Manning
Spinner Mason
And of course J.t. Yorke.
"You guys, this won't be the end. We'll all be back here one day, together again." I said looking at my 9 friends.
"It won't be the same Em." Toby spoke.
"Nothing will ever be the same Toby, ever."
"How about we make a pact, you know in remembrance of J.t., the symbol of our friendship. He was the one who brought us all together." Ellie suggested.
"Perfect." Said Spinner
"In six months and 2 days will be graduation, why don't we meet up here right before and right after the ceremony." Sean added quietly.
"yeah we can bring J.T. his certificate." Manny said sadly, knowing he wouldn't be able to walk on stage with us and get it himself.
"See you then J.t." Craig said.
Together hand in hand we all walked out of the cemetery, leaving one behind, though he would never be forgotten.
