I was too late.
Seiko's lifeless corpse hung from the noose, lazily rocking back and forth.
"Why!?, why would you kill yourself!?" I couldn't hold back my tears.
I was hysteric. My best friend, the only friend I had in this living hell was dead, right before my eyes.
Why did this happen?
Just a few hours ago we were laughing and playing together without a care in the world.
What did she do to deserve this?
"No...you can't be dead! I won't accept it! I refuse to accept it!"
My head was swarmed by all these thoughts, I couldn't think clearly anymore.
I felt as if I were going insane...
"I...I wanted to apologize! I didn't know what I was thinking...I didn't mean any of it! I would never say those horrible things to you!"
Deep down beyond all logic I was hoping she would say something...anything...I don't want to be alone...
"Please...say something...ANYTHING!"
My sobs grew louder as they bounced off the walls, coming back to hit my ears, mocking me.
I then heard a woman's voice a couple of feet away from me, it was soft...almost around my age.
"Accept reality...she's dead.".
