"Sorry, I never told you,
All I wanted to say,
Now it's too late to hold you,
Cause you've flown away,
So far away,
Never had I imagined,
Living without your smile,
Feeling and knowing you hear me,
It keeps me alive,
Alive,
And I know you're shining down on me from Heaven,
Like so many friends we've lost along the way,
And I know eventually we'll be together,
One sweet day."

Manny was lying on her bed, staring up at the ceiling, trying to figure out what Emma meant. It had been four hours since the phone conversation and Manny was confused and very sad.
"Manny.... I'll miss you."
What exactly did she mean? Emma had been acting strangely the last few weeks. Nothing made her happy anymore. Manny had never seen Emma that way and it scared her. As far as she knew, Emma's life was perfect. A cool mom, good friends and a guy who really cared about her. What more could she want? Manny sighed as the phone rang. Getting up lazily from the bed, she went over and picked it up.
"Hello?"
"Hello, Manny? It's Emma's mother." Manny bit her lip. Emma's mother sounded as though she'd been crying.
"What's wrong?"
"It's Emma...." Manny waited as Emma's mom broke down into sobs. She grew worried. What had happened to Emma?
"What's wrong? Is Emma okay?" Manny could hear Emma's mom taking deep breaths before she continued.
"She's dead, Manny." Manny's eyes widened. Had she heard right? No, there must be some mistake. Emma couldn't be dead. She had just talked to her a few hours ago.
"W-what? What did you say?"
"She's dead, Manny. She's dead." Manny dropped the phone and sank slowly to the floor, shaking. No, it can't be. Emma's not dead. This is a dream. This is all a bad dream. Manny could hear sobs coming from the phone. She hung it up, not caring to say goodbye. She couldn't. That wasn't Emma's mom. That was some person playing a cruel joke on her, although the sting in Manny's heart told her this was no joke. Tears streamed down Manny's face, but she didn't notice. She had gone completely numb to all feeling. Manny began to feel sick as thoughts raced through her mind. All the fun she'd had with Emma over the years..... that was all gone now. Emma was dead. Gone forever. Manny would never see her again. Never.
