I stood at the doorway staring at Edward. He was wearing dark blue jeans and a white collard button up shirt; his hair was in that messy way as usual. He looked really good. I hadn't seen him outside the hospital and there he always wore a white coat. But why the heck was he here? "Hey Bella." He said smiling at me. His voice seemed to bring me back to the moment. "Hey. Not to be rude or anything, but why are you here?" Don't get me wrong, I was very happy to see him. I had just been thinking about not being able to see him for the next couple days. But I was a little worried as to why he was here. Was something wrong? Had something happened to Alice or one of the others? Or was it one of the patience? "Oh well...That is a very good question." He said sighing, looking down, as if at a loss for words.
Invite him in already! He is going to think you are being rude! A little voice in my head screamed at me. "Why don't you come in?" I asked, feeling a little dumb for not saying it sooner and stepping aside so he would have room. "Oh thanks." He said walking past me; his clean scent filling my nose as he did so. We went into the living room and sat down. There was kind of an awkward silence. "So do you want something to drink?" I asked him; hoping he said yes so I would have something to do besides sit here doing nothing. "Nope." He replied clasping his hands together on his knees.
"Okay." More silence. Why couldn't I think of anything to say to him? "So Angela talks very highly of you." Edward said out of nowhere, with a smile, breaking the ice. "Really? Angela has always been awesome. But she has always been too generous with her complements." I said remembering how she's been there even when I wasn't. "I don't think so." He said looking me in the eye. "You must have a lot of friends back home."
"Ha. Not really." I said sighing further into the sofa. "Not at all really." "Oh come on. You have got to have at least one friend at home." He said giving me a confused look. I thought hard. I only had one.
"Well....there's Maddie." My heart ached at her name and the fact that what I had just said was a lie. There wasn't even Maddie anymore. "Oh really? What's she like?" He asked settling into the couch and smiling friendly at me. He sincerely wanted to know. My heart did a flip-flop as I thought about Maddie; where did I even start. There was so many things to choose from. "Well, she's so beautiful. She's skinny, and she has long blonde curly hair." Maddie's face came to my mind with clarity as I talked about her. "She's so funny too! Like, even if what she says isn't funny, it's still funny, you know?" I said smiling. "Maddie was my best-friend. We went everywhere together. I'm serious, if she was invited to a party she would refuse to go unless she could bring me with her. She had a single dad and with my single mom, we always hoped that they would get together." I laughed at the memory and how upset we were when her dad met Amber, who he was now married to. "She lived in the house next to mine.
"And every week-end we would go to the theat-" I stopped myself short, my voice freezing in my throat. The theater. That's the last place I ever saw her alive. "Bella?" Edward said. I barely heard him as images of that night blew out of the tiny box inside my head that I kept them in. Things that I had hoped would fade and maybe be forgotten. But as the flew around in my head, I saw each with perfect clarity. "Um, was that the phone?" I said bolting off the couch standing up and walking quickly to the kitchen. This can't happen. I closed my eyes and leaned heavily against the wall. I hadn't thought about Maddie like that in so long. It hurt to think of her like that again. It hurt to think about her, knowing I would never have her like that again. Knowing she was gone forever. I felt my eyes filling with tears.
"Bella, the phone didn't ring." Edward said turning the corner and entering the kitchen, beside where I was standing.
"Bella, are you okay?" He said rushing over to me. I wiped away the few tears that had fallen. "I'm fine. I'm sorry just memories are kind of overflowing right now." I said sniffling.
Edward looked at me hard in the face, though it felt like he wasn't, it felt like he was looking right through my face, right through the mask I was wearing and looking right into my very being. He spoke very slowly, hesitantly. "This wouldn't have anything to do with why you said she was your best-friend?" That's when my heart stopped.
I can't talk about this now. Can I? "Maddie..." I tried saying though my throat was hoarse. I couldn't do it! I have to stop remembering! It hurts too much! "I can't Edward. I can't remember that now." I said with more tears falling down my face. "Okay. Bella, we all have our own stories to tell. And we all have our own time to tell it." He said softly, looking at me sadly.
"Thanks." I said. Edward seemed to understand I needed a minute and stuffed his hands into his jean pockets and looked down at the floor in front of him, while I took in a couple deep breaths and wiped away the last of my tears.
"Okay, I'm done with my melt down." I said after a few minutes, hoping that I hadn't made Edward too uncomfortable. I didn't want him to think I was some sort of freak that randomly starts to cry. I hoped he didn't ask any questions about it. Though that seemed unlikely since he had just witnessed me crying my eyes out for what was to him no reason at all. If only he knew.
Edward smiled down at me. He really had a few good inches on me. "Okay well, what do you wanna do today?" He said with a smile. I nearly choked on air as he said the words. He didn't want an explanation about what had just happened to me; didn't bombard me with questions. He just let it slide. He just wanted to move on like nothing out of the normal had just happened. Thinking quickly I said the first thing that came to my mind. "Wanna watch a movie?"
Edward grinned at me. "I'll do anything as long as it's with you." My heart stopped yet again and I felt my insides do a flip-flop. I felt a goofy sort of smile make its way onto my face. What was happening inside of me? "Okay. Well, uh, I got this movie that Ang let me borrow." I said thankful that I even remembered it. My brain seemed to be slowing to a sluggish snail pace. "I haven't seen it yet though. She says it's really good but it's like about vampires so I don't know. I've never really watched a good vampire movie." I said rambling because of the butterflies that were tickling the insides of my stomach. Why was I so nervous.
"Oh come on, I think we should at least give Angela the benefit of the doubt. Does she normally have bad taste in movies?" He asked stepping a little closer, it was so subtle I wouldn't have even noticed it if it wasn't for the fact that I seemed to notice every little move that Edward was making.
"No!" I said, it coming out more like a squeak. I cleared my throat. "No, uh, she has always been good in the past." I said quickly, nodding my head.
"Okay then, I say we give it a go." He said.
We sat on the sofa and watched the movie. Well, I watched the movie…well most of it. I did have a hard time of it. I found myself looking over at Edward a lot during the two plus hours that we sat in front of the TV. My mind kept asking me: Why was he here? He had never really answered my question. I had asked then he came in and we starting talking about Maddie. I had just forgotten to reask. But all in all, the movie was rather enjoyable. Both Edward and I laughed a bunch throughout the whole movie. I also found that I really liked it when Edward laughed. It was a very freeing thing to hear. And to see. His face seemed to brighten as he did so.
After the movie, we went into the kitchen and when I asked him if he would like something to drink this time he said yes. So I gave him some Fruit-Aid. "Wow. This is great. What is it?" he asked after taking one sip. "It's a mixture of fruit punch and pink lemon aid. Maddie was the first one to ever make it." I said with a smile. It had actually been an accident. Maddie had meant to add two packets of fruit punch, but had grabbed only one of them and grabbed a pink lemon aid without realizing it 'til we started drinking it. "Sweet. So that movie was interesting. I mean, I'm not a weirdo or anything, but Edwardo is pretty dang good looking." Edward said leaning against the counter and looking at me over the rim of his glass as he took another sip.
"Edwardo? Are you kidding me? Did you see James in all his werewolf glory? He was hot!" Really I mean those muscles are huge! "Bella, are you serious? It's just cause he's got a tan." Edward said with huff, setting his half empty glass on the counter next to him. "I don't know. I really never had a thing to the really dark guys, I just don't think it's that attractive. I like whiter guys." Oh crap. Edward is like really white. I'm so stupid. what if he realized that? I felt my face grow warm
"Really?" He said with a funny grin.
I folded my arms over my chest. "Yeah, but come on you have got to have thought Isabelle is gorgeous?"
"Yeah she is. You know I was thinking that you two look very much alike." He said looking me right in the eyes. Why is this boy making my heart stop so much? He's gonna kill me one day I swear. "You're blushing. It's a very lovely look on you." And of course that made me blush more. "Thanks." I said with my eyes looking at my glass of punch.
Cause I'd like to see you
Out in the moon light
I'd like to kiss you
Way back in the sticks
I'd like to walk you
Through a field of wildflowers
And I'd like to check you for ticks
Edward's ring tone went off. I smiled as the ring tone went on; who would have thought that Edward would be a country kind of boy? He got his phone out of his pocket and sighed. He opened his phone and held it to his ear. "Hey Alice." He said with a sigh. Pause. "No Alice I didn't get that ring tone because of that!" He said with his face getting red. "Yeah I'm at Chief Swan's house." Pause. Edward rolled his eyes; looking quite cute as he did so. "Yes with Bella." Then I heard screaming coming from the phone. Edward jerked the phone away from his ear. "Alice calm down."
He brought the phone back to his ear as Alice talked excitingly. "No you can not come over." He said through his teeth. "It's okay if she comes." I told him. I wasn't really sure why, but as the words left my mouth, I almost wished I hadn't said anything. Then I heard more screaming from the phone. "Alice. Calm down." I could barely contain my laughter. I love Alice. She's so funny.
A moment later Edward closed his phone, cutting Alice off in mid cream.
"She'll be here soon." He said with a sigh; slipping his phone back into his jean pocket.
I smiled, but I couldn't think of anything to say, so we fell into a silence for a moment. "So," I said, grasping for something to say. "nice ring tone." Was all I came up with.
He smiled sheepishly; ducking his head. "Yeah, well I had the same ring tone for so long I decided that I needed a change. And then I heard this song of the radio yesterday, so I got it."
I smiled to myself as I watched him, he looked so abashed! It was kind of adorable. "So what did you have before?"
"Mad World by Gary Jules." He said with a shrug.
I blinked. "Really?" He nodded. "Wow, that's a big change."
"Is that a bad thing?" He asked, his head titled to the side, looking at me with curious eyes. Though, there was something else there, something I couldn't recognize.
"No. I was just commenting." And I saw him relax; I hadn't even noticed his anxious posture 'til I saw his shoulders relax. What was that about? Did I say something.
I didn't get to think long on this before Edward asked. "So what's your favorite song?"
"Oh no, that's not a good question to ask me." I laughed. "It could take me a while and I still may have more than one answer."
"I'm okay with that." Edward said with a wide grin.
I was distracted for a moment by his smile, but forced myself to focus on my task. "At the moment I think I will have to say, Vanilla Twilight by Owl City." I said with a nod. "But it sometimes changes by the day, but yeah, today that is my answer."
He nodded. "Okay, I've never heard of them; so I guess I'll have to give you the benefit of the doubt on this one."
I choked on my mouth of Fruit-Aid. "Are you serious? You've never heard of Owl City?" He shook his head. "I'm sorry but I'm going to have to ask you to leave my house now." I said pointing to the door.
Edward's smile faltered. "Really?" He asked dejected.
I fought a smile at his hurt face. It did something funny to my stomach to know he didn't feel like leaving my house right now. I sighed and shook my head like I was disappointed. "Maybe I could over look this; under one condition."
Edward looked a little hopeful. "Anything." He promised quickly. Again I had to fight down a smile.
I sighed again. "Wait right there." I said before walking out of the kitchen. As soon as I had rounded the corner I hurried through the living room and up the stairs, bursting through my bedroom door. I quickly located my I-Pod on my desk by my old computer and made my way back down to the kitchen. When I walked in Edward was right where I left him, leaning against the counter next to the sink.
I walked up next to him and hopped my butt up onto the counter top. I patted the space next to me before I started unwinding the headphones from around the I-Pod. "Take a seat Edward, because this song will knock you off your feet." I said and handed him a ear bud.
Edward looked at me for a long moment, making my heart skip a beat, before he smiled and slid onto the counter next to me, so close that our shoulders brushed. After he took the ear bud I played the song. I watched Edward as it went through the first verse and into the choirs. He was looking off into nowhere, he looked as though he was concentrating solely on the lyrics. I watched as the second verse passed and the choirs start up again and he smiled.
When the song was over Edward nodded his head. "I was right. It is a really good song."
I gasped. "What!? I was the one that said it was a great song!"
He nodded; turning to me, the movement pushing our shoulders together, and he smiled softly. "Yeah, and I was the one that said I should give you the benefit of the doubt. So in a way I was right."
Our eyes locked and my heart stopped. We were a lot closer than I had first realized, our shoulders still pressed together, and our faces were only a couple inches apart. From this distance I could really appreciate how good looking Edward was. With his green eyes that looked much darker now that I was closer, and I could not see had little flecks of gold in them, I could barely breath.
A loud bang made me sit up strait and seemed to restart my brain.
"Oh my gosh. Hi Bella! What have you two been doing?" Alice asked bouncing into the room with a hopeful smile. Hopeful for what? I had no clue. Did I even want to know…..I'm not sure.
"Jeez Alice, did you forget how to knock?" Edward asked giving his sister a scowl.
Alice just waved him off. "No, but Bella and I are just so close I don't have to." She said proudly. Edward just looked like he had ice water thrown on him. "So, what have you been up to again?" She asked, looking at Edward suspiciously.
"Oh we just talked and watched a movie." I said, wondering if I should get off the counter or not. I didn't really want to, but would Alice think I was rude if I didn't? I debated in my head for a moment, the only reason I had for not wanting to move was because of Edward's shoulder that was still leaned against mine.
Wait, if that was my only reasoning, I needed to get up. So I hopped down off the counter.
"Oh which one?" She asked heading for the living room. I followed behind her; Edward bringing up the rear. "Twilight."
"Omg I love Casper!" She exclaimed. "Yeah he is pretty cool." I was sitting on the sofa happy to see Edward join me while Alice sat in the rocking chair. "Oh, Edward I almost forgot." Alice said, sitting up straighter. "Carlisle wants you to call his cell." Alice told him. Edward excused himself and went in the kitchen. Alice and I talked about some new store that was opening up across from Jasper's Library. Well I say we, but it was more Alice telling me about it. I had never heard of the store before, but it seemed to get Alice really excited. She was just telling me about the 'cutest shoes' that they had when Edward came back in. His face looked flushed and his eyes looked watery. The look scared me; because I knew that look.
"What happened to her?" Alice said standing up with the same horror on her face. "Who?" I asked standing up as well, my heart racing. Something was terribly wrong. Edward was shaking, not looking like he would even be able to stand much longer. "Jenny." He said, his voice breaking. "She has atypical teratoid/rhabdoid tumor also known as ATRT. It's fatal. It's a type of brain cancer. She passed out earlier in the play room. They had to go into surgery. She's fine now, but Carlisle thinks she has less time then they originally thought." The way he said it, I was sure that was the exact way Carlisle said it because it sounded like he was reading the words off a page.
My mind imminently went to Jenny. I didn't know her well; but I had gotten to talk to her a couple times in the last couple of days while working with Edward. She was really mature for her age; though that might have to do with the fact that she had a fatal cancer. But what about Edward? I had seen the way they talked, the way he watched after her. He loved her. He loved all those kids, but Jenny was different. I didn't know why, but I knew that she was special to him. My eyes started to water as I thought about how young she was, she was only SIX! How was this fair to her? "I'm sorry but I have to go to the hospital. Apparently she won't stop asking for me." Edward said and then met my eyes. "Oh and she wants Bella too."
"Me? Oh okay. Well, lets go then." I said standing up to get my shoes. "Okay. We'll take my car." He said opening the front door. We all filed out. I locked the door with my spare key and climbed in his silver Volvo. During the short ride to the hospital I wondered why Jenny had asked for me. It didn't really make any sense. I mean, I thought she was sweet and I hoped to get to talk to her more, but, why did she ask for me?
It only took us about ten minutes to get to the hospital. When we got there we went straight to room, 108. Jenny was sitting up in her bed. She looked paler than normal, and her eyes looked tired; but they still sparkled when Edward walked into the room. "Eddie! Bella! Finally you're here. I've been waiting a long time." She said getting down to hug Edward. Edward smiled, the first smile since we left my house and picked her up, spinning her around. Jenny laughed as he did so, her smile growing brighter.
As I watched Edward swing her around I couldn't help my thoughts. I was just starting to really see Edward. I mean, yes he's gorgeous, but he's so much more than that. In the short time that I have spent with him I've seen how honest he is. How trusting he is. How amazing he is.
Edward sat Jenny down on the bed and turned to look at me. Something in those green eyes gave my chills. "Edward, can you take me to Angel's Field?" Jenny asked excitingly, tugging on Edward's hand.
He seemed to think about this for a moment, but then he looked down at Jenny's beaming face and I saw him give in before he said. "Sure. Are you sure you're up to it?" He asked her. She nodded excitedly. I had no clue what they were talking about, but whatever it was it was making Jenny smile widely and nodded her head enthusiastically. "Okay, go ask you mom." He told her. Jenny threw her arms around Edward's middle before running out of the room to find her mom.
Edward's POV
It was a long car ride to Angel's Field. But even in that short amount of time I was able to thoroughly question myself: was it really a good idea to take Jenny away from the hospital right after surgery? I probably should have thought about that more. Anything could go wrong, and I would have to drive her all the way back to the hospital before I could help her. But when I looked over at Jenny who was bouncing in her seat, I knew I wouldn't have been able to give any other answer than the one I did. I also had to fight off the depressing thoughts that tried to cloud my mind; Jenny could have died today. We were just lucky this time; but what if the next time… NO! I turned from the thoughts and focused on the fact that Jenny was sitting here with me now. I promised myself then that I would do everything I could to make her life the happiest ever lived. After pulling off the highway, I drove down the dirt packed road 'til it was cut off by a line of trees.
"Ready?" I asked Jenny who had already taken off her seat belt and was half way out of the door.
She giggled and nodded.
So after climbing out of the car I got down on one knee in front of Jenny. "Alright then climb up."
I felt Jenny's light body clamber onto my back. Once she had her arms hastened around my neck and legs around my middle, I started toward the trees. I walked at a steady pace through the trees, knowing exactly where I was going. I had been through these woods so many times, weaved my way around these trees so many times that I even recognized certain markings that were on them.
The hike was a short one, not ever ten minutes; but when the end of the trees came into view Jenny was bouncing with excitement. When we finally reached the last tree, I stopped, as did Jenny. We looked out over Angel's Field in silence for a moment. It was more beautiful than ever. It was nestled in a bald patch of trees, spreading out for 100 yards in each direction from where I was standing. Flowers of every kind and color sprouted out of the ground, filling the entire field with a beautiful array of hues and shades of pink, purple, blue, orange, and red. The grass was about calf high and was soft under your feet. And near the middle of the oval you could see the diamond surface of the river that flowed right through the field; it's natural flowing sounds filling the empty air like a symphony.
I leaned down and set Jenny back on her feet. "Let's go." I whispered with a smile.
Jenny nodded and then grinning from ear to ear she took off at a run. I followed behind her a nice walk, watching was she skipped through the flowers, her white and pink dress floating over the grass; she looked like she was in heaven. She stopped nearby where we usual sat and twirled around in a circle, her hands above her head. I smiled as I sat down near to where she was spinning; she continued to do this for a little and then joined me on the ground.
"Edward," She said smoothing out her dress. "I think you should ask Bella on a date." She said sitting across from me with her legs crossed. "Really?" I asked her with raised eyebrows. Where did she get these ideas? "Yes. You like her and she likes you." I opened my mouth to interrupt her, but she held up her hand. "Listen Eddie. I'm going to die soon-"
"Jen, don't." I interrupted her. "Eddie, it's true. I know I'm just six but it's gonna happen soon." She said looking me right in the eyes. "Promise me you'll ask her out?" I could feel my emotions well up inside of me. "I promise." I said with a sigh. "And promise you will take her here." She said with a yawn.
I was shocked that she said this. Telling me to go out with Bella was one thing, but this was our place. "But Jenny, this place is for you and me." I said looking at her hard. "I know. And I'll still be here when I die." She said with a shrug. "Just like your mom and dad are here, and my brother is here. I'll ask God to send me here, then I'll help them paint the flowers with our wing tips." She told me. I once told her that that's what the angels did here. I had told her they came here every day, first thing in the morning, right as the sun starts to rise and brush the ground with the tips of their wings, making flowers form wherever they touched. Because there is no other way a place can be so beautiful. "I want Bella to see it." She yawned again and came to sit in my lap. Jenny's thoughts floated around in my head and I couldn't get them to leave. I could imagine bringing Bella here; she would love it. I could picture her face the first time she broke through the trees and saw the river. I could even see us, sitting here like Jenny and I were right now, talking about everything. Even though I didn't know Bella that well, something about her made me want to. She was interesting and funny. Not to mention beautiful.
My thoughts were cut off when Jenny's started speaking softly. "Edward, my dad wants to come see me." She said twirling a blade of grass between her fingers.
"For once." I huffed trying to keep my voice light. Jenny had a dead beat dad. Jenny's dad got real messed up after Jenny's brother Jackson died. He'd get drunk and hit her and her mom. Jenny's parents got a divorce about a year ago. He hadn't called, spoken, or seen either Jenny or Ms. Andrea since. I think that's why Jenny is my favorite kid. We have a lot in common. I mean, sure she's just six, but she acts so much older than that. Though when I think about it, it makes me sad. Because the reasons that she is so mature are horrible ones, like getting beat by her father, then having a killing cancer. "Eddie, I'm scared of him. I don't want him to hurt me again." She said softly as she snuggled closer to me.
"I would never let that happen Jenny." I said hugging her tightly, as though it would help keep all the bad things of the world at bay.. "Edward, I wish you were my dad." She said before she fell asleep. "I wish that too, Jen. I wish that too."
Bella's POV
"Mom why do you have to be gone for so long?" I asked my mom on the phone. I was back home from the hospital and was sitting on the kitchen counter listening to mom talk about what a great time she was having. "Bella, this is good for you. you need to spend time with your dad. You need time away from here. Make new friends." She said in her sweet voice. "Mom I like the friends I have." I said in a huff, though I knew that was a dumb thing to say. I didn't have any friends, and she knew it too.
"Bella you don't have any friends. All there is, is Angela and she's in Forks!" I felt like yelling back at her, but I didn't want this to turn into an argument. "Fine. What ever. When are you coming home?" I asked her. There was a pause on the other end, and when she finally spoke she sounded hesitant. " Bella, don't freak out. At the end of the month honey. So about three weeks." I am not freaking out I thought to myself with a sigh.
"Okay. I'll see you then." I said already thinking about all I needed to do once I hung up with her.
"Maybe. If you want to." Mom said quietly. Huh? What is she talking about? "What?"
"Well, honey, if for some reason you decided to stay in Forks I wouldn't be heartbroken." Does she not want me anymore? Is that it? Had her new husband Phil replaced me? "Now honey, don't read anything more into that then what I said."
"How can I not? Mom you know me, I read into everything. Oh my gosh." Okay now I was freaking out. My heart was beating in my chest so hard that it hurt. I put my hand over my heart, breathing rapidly. Suddenly today's dinner seemed like a lot. Did I really eat that much? I felt sickened as I went over everything that I had consumed. "Honey just don't worry about it. I love you." She told me. "Okay? I love you and I want you to come home."
I nodded before remembering I was on the phone. "Okay. I love you too." I said before hanging up the phone with a shaking hand.
I'm crazy. Yeah that's what it is. That's why I'm acting like this. I am crazy. I told myself, trying to push the feeling in my stomach away. And then that thought brought a memory back,
"Bella slow down! You're crazy!" Maddie exclaimed. "Right. And your not?" We laughed as we walked into my house. "Hey kids! I made some peanut butter and chocolate chip brownies!" My mom called from the kitchen. We smelled the wonderful food my mother had prepared. We raced each other to the kitchen. "Thanks mom!"
"Thanks Ms. Renee!"
"No problem girls. How was the movie?" She asked as she set some brownies in front of us. We were sitting at the counter and each grabbed for a brownie. "It sucked." I told her. "It was gross." Maddie said. "Omg Maddie that part where the guy gutted out the girl." I told her remembering a terrible part. "Yeah! Oh and when she came back from the dead and gutted him!" In union we both said, "Ew."
Tears ran down my face and I choked on a breath. That's when life was good. Mom hasn't made those brownie since Maddie... I ran up the stairs, tripping twice in my hurry and threw myself into the bathroom. I fell to my knees in front of the toilet and shoved my finger as far back in my throat as I could. I did this again, and again; 'til I had nothing left and was just dry heaving. Tears still leaking down my face I fell to my side on the bathroom tile floor. The tiles felt cool to my cheek and I pressed my cheek to the floor. My throat burned and my body felt tired and limp, but I couldn't feel my heart aching any longer.
If throwing up was the only way to make my heart stop aching, then I would keep throwing up.
I don't know how long I was on the floor, I think I might have passed out at some point, one minute it was daylight out, and the next thing I knew the sun was setting. When I heard dad walk in the front door I figured it was time that I moved, lest he find me lying on the bathroom floor. So as quickly as my suddenly pounding head would let me I got to my feet, stretching out my aching back as I did and went to my room. I laid in my bed as it got darker and darker. I pulled my legs up to my chest and put my arms around my legs and made a ball praying that the pain in the pit of my stomach would go away and the pounding in my head would stop. "Maddie." I whispered. "Maddie come back. I need my best friend back." I whispered as a single tear fell. And as I fell asleep, I cursed the man who took my best friend from me.
