Chapter Eight


There he sits, looking into space. His expression scares me. What can I do to help him?

We have been friends through thick and thin, but I have never seen him this had. I wish I could get him out of this state.

I have never been through an experience like losing my true love. And I hope I never will.

Judging by the bags under his eyes, it looked like he hasn't slept since she died.

Suddenly, his eyes snapped onto mine. "What can I do to make the pain go away?" he pleaded.

I look at his eyes; they look so... so lost. I grabbed his shoulder and replied, "Start living again." And with those words, he gave a small smile and went off to bed.

I knew he was coming along, slowly but at least he was moving. I might just get my best friend, and best man, back.
