-Part Two: Lizzie-
- Chapter 6: Even in Death-
Give me a reason to believe that you're gone. I see your shadow so I know, That they're all wrong. Moonlight on the soft brown earth, It leads me to where you lay. They took you away from me, But now I'm taking you home.
The moonlight shined down on the soft fresh soil. I still couldn't believe it. I stared at the stone embedded in the earth and read it again. 'Miranda Sanchez 1988-2005' Miranda was dead. My best friend was dead. And the last thing that I said to her was that I hated her. I wanted to blame Miranda's death on Sage, on the person driving the truck, on anyone except the person who's fault it really was. Mine. I hadn't paid any attention to my best friend all year. Now it was December 20th, the cool night air blew around me, and I continued to look at the earth. She was gone. Miranda took her life away. Away from the world, away from me. What was I supposed to do without my best friend?
I will stay forever here with you, my love. The softly spoken words you gave me. Even in death our love goes on.
She was my best friend, like my sister, and of course I loved her. Now that she was gone, I didn't feel complete. Without Miranda and Gordo, I knew I'd fall apart, I'd known that forever, but now with just Miranda gone I was falling apart. I missed her so much, and she had only been gone for 5 hours.
Some say I'm crazy for my love, ooh my love. But no bonds can hold me, From your side, ooh my love. They don't know you can't leave me. They don't hear you singing to me.
I couldn't bring myself to leave her side. I knew I had to go home. I couldn't spend forever in the Hillridge graveyard, but I also couldn't just leave Miranda under the earth. She hated worms. They'd get into her coffin. She never liked to be ignored, and I had ignored her. For six months it went on. And I couldn't even pry myself away from Gordo for two seconds to see what was happening to my best friend.
I will stay forever here with you, my love. The softly spoken words you gave me. Even in death our love goes on. And I can't love you, anymore than I do
Sometimes I can be such a self-absorbed jerk. Gordo tried to tell me what was happening, he noticed, but I just let it slide, calling him paranoid. But now, if only I had noticed, maybe my best friend would still be here. Maybe everything could be different. But for tonight, I wasn't leaving her side.
