Hey Guys! Thanks so much for all the reviews, I'm glad you guys liked it! Well here's the next chapter… Sorry to say, it will be another sad one.
Shout out's:
The Dark Key Bearer: Thank you so much for your review! Thank you so much for everything… You are truly my BFFFL (Best Fan Fiction Friend for Life) EVERYONE CHECK OUT HIS STORIES, DISTURBIA and TOTAL DRAMA ACTION… You'll be sure to like them :D
Warning: This will be a sad fan fiction. If you're looking for a story that has a fairy tale ending, you've clicked the wrong fanfic.
This story is dedicated to: My best friend, Holly. Although we are probably the two most opposite people in the world, we became best friends. I decided to write this after she decided to join the US Army, after we graduate. I couldn't imagine life without her. And when I was watching TDI, I saw how close Katie and Sadie are there strong bond could never be broken, even if they are a world away from each other. So please when you read this, think of your best friend. A best friend is for life. Forever. Never forget that.
Disclaimer: I do not own Total Drama Island or Justin Timberlake. Although, when I one day rule the world… it could be a possibility.

Ring. Ring. Ring. Ring. Beeeeep. "Aloha, this is the Codmiester; sorry I can't get to the phone right now. I'm currently soaking up the sun in Hawaii... I'll be back on January 3. So just leave a message and I'll get back to ya when I get back, bye!"
Sigh. I put the phone back on the receiver, and crossed yet another name off the list. Sadie's funeral is in two days, and I volunteered to invite all our friends from Total Drama Island.
I've called 18 people, and not one of them could make it. Geoff and Bridgette were skiing in the Alps, Cody's in Hawaii, Duncan got put into Juvie again (reason unknown), Courtney was in Washington D.C. (Still trying to sue Chris), Lindsay and Beth went to the Florida Keys, Justin was doing some modeling in Spain, Trent was recording songs for his first album (due to come out in the summer of next year) and Gwen was with them (the made up… again), and Izzy… well no one knows where the heck she is. Everyone else was also busy, or they didn't answer their phone.
There was still one more person I needed to call… Noah.
Sadie and I became good friends with Noah, after were voted off TDI. Although, most of the time we teased him about kissing Cody (which he's in complete denial of). But underneath all that pure laziness, Noah's actually a pretty nice guy… kind of.
I grabbed my cell phone and dialed his number.
Ring. Ring. Ring. "Hello?"
The sound of his voice surprised me. No one I called so far actually picked up the phone, their parents answered the phone. "Hello… Noah?"
"Yeah, this is Noah. Who is this?"
"Hi, it's Katie."
"Katie…?" He asked sounding confused.
"Uh, Katie from Total Drama Island."
"Oh, hi Katie, what's up?" He still had confusion in his voice.
"Well… you remember Sadie, right?" I asked, I couldn't really think of a way to ask him to come to her funeral.
"Of course, how could I forget her? All you two did on the island was go, 'EEEEEEEEEEEE'. I think I lost partial hearing in my left ear."
"Um, yeah, sorry about that… The reason I'm calling, is that… Sadie and I were in a car crash two days ago."
"Oh, are you two okay?" His voice sounded concerned and slightly stressed.
"Well… I suffered a broken leg and some bruised ribs, but Sadie wasn't so lucky." I managed to shield my tears from exiting my eyes.
"Oh! Is she? I mean… is Sadie… ok? How bad is it?" I couldn't hold my tears any longer. They streamed from my eyes uncontrollably.
"She's um, well, Sadie died." My voice sounded weak, he probably didn't hear what I say… but I don't think I could repeat it.
"Katie, I'm so sorry. Is there something I can do? Or can you get you something? Anything."
"No, Noah… it's ok. But, her funeral is in two days… can you come? It would mean so much to her parents and I."
"Yeah, of course I'll come. Once again, I'm really sorry." He meant it.
"Thanks… its starts at 1:30 pm at Toronto Funeral home, I'm glad you can come."
"Yeah, I'll see you there."
"Bye Noah."
"Bye Katie." (1)
~~At the funeral~~
The sun was shining, the wind was calm, and the temperature was very mild for this time of winter in Toronto.
I was standing in the lobby of Toronto Funeral Home, waiting for the funeral room to be ready. My parents and I were waiting alongside Sadie's parents in silence. No one else was there.
Sadie's mom was sobbing, whipping away her tears with tissue paper, while Sadie's dad had his arm around his wife.
They hated me.
I should have been the one to die. I hated myself.
The lobby began to fill with family and friends of Sadie. Everyone was dressed in black suits or black dresses. Some were laughing, telling stories about Sadie. Others were crying or not saying anything at all.
I looked around for Noah, but he wasn't here. Maybe he was running late, or maybe he wasn't coming at all.
The two oak doors opened, and everyone stared, conversations ended. A man came out and told us we can start entering the room. People hesitated at first, but then slowly started entering the funeral room.
When I finally reached the door, I could smell a faint aroma of roses. Roses in vases covered the room. In the front of the room there was an empty alter, and to sides were rows of wooden benches.
People began to fill up the benches… my parents and I sat in the fifth. I had to sit on the end so I could put my crutches on the side.
I analyzed all the people that were there… and when I looked a few rows back, I saw Noah.
He looked at me and flashed me a smile, I smiled back.
Everything went silent again, and I saw many people look at the back of the room, as did I.
I saw a Priest come in with a bible in his hands, and behind I saw 6 men carrying a large wooden casket.
A casket that held the body of my best friend.
I couldn't control myself… tears started falling from my eyes, and sobs coming from my mouth.
I had to get out of here. Now.
I began to carefully stand up and grabbed my crutches. My mom clutched my hand and looked at me tenderly.
"I just have to go to the bathroom." I lied.
I walked quickly to the lobby and sat on the ground next to the wall with my head on my knees, and cried.
Suddenly I heard footsteps, wandering toward me… I didn't bother to look up. The person sat next to me and said nothing.
An arm went around me and held me tight. Which surprised me, and I finally looked up.
It was Noah.
I looked at his face, his brown eyes… and he looked back. I put one of my arms around his back and he put his other arm around mine and embraced in a hug.
It felt… good.
We stayed like that for 10 minutes.
"Thank you." I whispered, "Noah."
~~Two Weeks Later~~
Two weeks later, I decided to return back to school, despite my mom's pleading for me to stay hope another week.
I told her, if I would miss anymore days of school, I wouldn't be able to graduate… she agreed silently.
When I walked through the doors for the first time without my best friend at my side, people stared.
They stared with sorrow, pity, and sympathy. I heard many people say, "Poor Katie", or "I feel so bad for her. "
Never did I hear anyone say, "Poor Sadie." Sadie was the one that died, yet they only said, poor Katie. I was lucky that I was alive. But I wouldn't really call it lucky. Not lucky at all.
The rest of the school year went on in a blur. Usually people were excited and happy that their senior year was coming to a close. A lot of people had parties, but I never went.
I noticed an increase of my grades though. I guess I was more focused now that I didn't have my BFFFL anymore. But I would trade good grades for Sadie any day.
Graduation day was probably the hardest day for me. It was the day Sadie and I fantasized over for years. The end of high school, the start of a new chapter in our lives. We planned on having a huge party after the graduation. And the day after, we were going to go to Hawaii and enjoy our freedom.
All this was gone.
It would never happen.
Sadie's gone… and she's never coming back.
Gone, but never far away.
Well I'm done… Jeez, this is really depressing to write! I hoped you liked it… Another chapter is in the works ^^
Review Please, they make me feel warm and fuzzy inside :D
