Saying Goodbye

Veronica always had a hard life. A father who left her and a mother who was never there .She thought she was all alone in the world until she met him. His name was Zack and he was he best friend. They were inseparable from the day they met until that dreaded day that has haunted her mind.

16 year old Veronica sits by the front door waiting for her best friend Zack to pick her up for school. "he's late again." She thinks. "He always does this, he's a boy for god sake it does not take this long to get ready in the morning." After about 20 minutes of waiting Zack finally pulls up and Veronica walks out the door. Once she gets to the passenger seat she gets ready to yell at him for being late, but once Veronica looks into Zack's ice blue eyes she realized something was wrong. Zack had always been a happy kid up until he turned 14 then he started having trouble at home with his parents and he started to get more and more depressed. The blue eyes that veronica always loved had lost their shine and his white smile had faded into a frown. He had never spoken about his problems and he spent most of his time alone. She hated to see him so hurt and she tried to help him but he just brushed her off.

"What's wrong Zack?" Veronica asked once she saw the hurt in his eyes.

"Nothing" He said looking away

"Something is wrong I know it. Please tell me I don't like seeing you upset like this"

"Just problems with my parents again they are saying I'm worthless now and I don't mean anything to the world"

Veronica was shocked by this. Zack meant everything to her to a point where she had fallen in love with him. "Zack don't believe what they say you mean everything to people you are worth something don't let their words go to your head."

"But what if they are saying is true? What if you're wrong and I don't mean anything to people?" he said in a sad voice

"YOU'RE WRONG" Veronica yelled at him "You do mean something to people you mean everything to me cause I Love You" Veronica suddenly realized what she had said and looked down hiding the blush from her cheeks.
