Ian was extremely sad of what had happened. Anthony had got in a car wreck and didn't make it. All of Ian's classmates and teachers just stared at him. He wasn't getting good grades anymore. ''Ian, are you ok?'' finally one of his teachers asked. Ian didn't answer. He was only in 5th grade. Why did he have to go through all of this? At lunch, he sat alone and he only ate a little. By the time it was History, he couldn't do it anymore. He got up and started running through the hallway after the bell rang. He missed the first step and plummeted into the checkered floor. ''IAN GET IN HERE.'' one of his teachers screeched.
Finally, when it was time to go he walked home alone. Normally he would walk home with Anthony and play video games with him. But Anthony wasn't there anymore. Ian's mom was concerned, Ian wouldn't eat, he wouldn't do his homework, or even play video games anymore. All he did was sit on the smooth leather couch. ''Ian I know your sad bu-'' Ian's mom was cut off by Ian's sobbing.
"It's not fair.'' Ian said between sobs
''I know your depressed, but you will find a new friend, you'll see.''
''Anthony was my best friend though, he was the only person who didn't get mad at me for little things, and hang out with me.''
Ian's mom had nothing to say to that. She felt bad for Ian, she didn't know what it was like to loose a best friend, but she knew it must hurt.
Nine years had passed since the accident. Ian was still sad, but not as depressed as he used to be. He was driving to Anthony's grave to put flowers down for the 9 year anniversary of Anthony's death. On the way, a semi driver didn't look left and pressed the gas. Ian didn't remember anything that had happened. ''Ian I haven't saw you in 9 years, how are you?'' someone said with a huge smile. Ian turned around to see Anthony standing there with his hands in his pockets. ''Anthony!'' Ian screamed as he ran up and hugged Anthony. ''I missed you!'' Ian said still hugging Anthony tightly. When Ian was done hugging him, Anthony said ''Now lets see who wins Super Mario!''
