Abby's POV
Sitting in my lab, I could almost feel her presence. I glanced over as the clock on my wall flashed 1:26... AM. I refused to leave. Leaving meant that when I came back tomorrow, everything would be to real. Kate would really be gone. I didn't want that, but I knew it was true. I wasn't really sure how sitting in front of my computer was supposed to help bring her back, but it would. No matter what, I would find a way. She hadn't deserved to die and it wasn't fair.
Slowly, tears began to glitter in my eyes and flow down my cheeks. I wiped each one away as it fell, but gave up when I began to sob non-stop. Everything was clear... every memory seemed like yesterday. Every time I shut my eyes, I saw her face. I was tired, but I knew what sleep would bring... more memories, more tears and more sadness. I wasn't ready for that yet. I wasn't ready to accept the fact that in two days, they would be burrying Kate six feet in the ground. Why was it always six feet? Kate deserved special treatment... five feet. I would make sure to ask.
Out of the corner of my eye, I could see a picture of me and Kate when we had went to that get-away spa. Her smile was so real, not fake like it usually is when people have their pictures taken. We had been laughing at God knows what.. oh yeah, I remember. That man in the towel had been hot and being the daring person I was, I "accidentally" grabbed the corner and woops... there he had been, buck naked. Not really a bad sight, but the look of shock on Kate's face had caused me to laugh and then she began to laugh. It was the uncontrallable laughter that brought tears to your eyes. Breathless yet relaxed, I had quickly appologized and casually asked him to take our picture. To my surprise, he didn't refuse.
Beside our picture lay the hat I had bet McGee twenty bucks I could get her to wear. It had real sentimental value now, I would never let it go. I would never let go of all the memories we had together. I would never let go of my best friend, Kate Todd.
