"No...no...no this...this can't be fucking true..." Sami said, in a voice she didn't even recognize. There was Novak...her best friend...her partner in crime...lying on a stretcher, bloody and slowly breathing. The paramedics ran him out of the house and to the ambulance as Bam ran over to Sami who was sitting and crying, her back facing the horrible scene.
"What happened? Please tell me what happened!" Bam said, sitting down next to her.
"Novak..." was all she could say.
"Oh my God." Bam started to cry too.
They cried together until a paramedic tapped Bam on the shoulder.
"He's being escorted to the hospital now. Do you want to follow us?" he asked.
"Yeah. Come on, Sami, let's go." Bam slowly picked Sami up and carried her out the door. They got into the Lambo and followed the loud ambulance to the hospital, in complete silence.
'Please let him be okay. Please let him be okay.' Sami prayed in her head. She knew that Bam was doing the same.
They quickly pulled into the hospital parking lot and ran inside. Sami and Bam sat down in the waiting room, and tried not to start crying again. Suddenly a doctor came out to talk to them. They both slowly looked up at the man in the white uniform.
"He...he was stabbed and by the time the paramedics got there...he lost too much blood. I'm sorry for your loss." he said, sighing. "You...no...it's not true...you're lying." Sami said, not wanting to belive the truth. The doctor walked over to the girl. "I promise you, I'm not lying, sweetheart. I can tell Mr. Novak meant a lot to you and my prayers are with you. Both of you." The doctor handed the bag of stuff that Novak had in his pockets to Bam and walked away. Bam got up and walked outside, alone, not saying a word. Sami slowly stood up, crying. She went outside too.
"Bam! No!" she cried, running over to him. She took the piece of broken glass from his hands and threw it as far as possible. He had cut his wrist and was about to do the other one. She took off her bandana she had on and wrapped it around his bleeding wrist. "What were you thinking?"
"I-I'm sorry. I didn't know what I was doing." Bam started crying and Sami hugged him.
"Don't worry...I understand." she said. "Come on. Let's go home, I can't stand to be here right now." Bam just nodded and walked with Sami to the car.
15 minutes later, they were at Castle Bam. The cop cars were still there. Katie was there too, sitting in the doorway, holding her pregnant stomach and crying. Bam ran over to her.
"Katie..."he said slowly. He got down on his knees and told her that her fiance was gone. She cried harder.
"Why? Why right now?" Katie said, flipping her long black hair out of her face. Sami came up to them with bloodshot eyes from crying so hard. Katie looked up. "You must be Sami."
"Yeah, how'd you know?" Sami asked, not in a rude tone.
"Novak always talked about you. He loved you so much, like you were his little sister or something." Sami's heart broke when she said that. The last thing she should of said to Novak was, 'I love you.'. She just didn't know if he would say, 'I love you, too.' or not.
"Really? Wow." Bam looked at the two quiet girls and sighed.
"Hey, let's go inside." he said, signaling for Sami and Katie to follow him. They both nodded and did what they were told.
Once inside, Bam threw the bag of Novak's things on the couch and went into the Pirate Bar with Katie. Sami walked over to the bag of her best friend's belongings and opened it up. A lighter, his wallet, a pack of cigarettes and...a mini casket with a heartagram on it? 'What's this?' Sami thought as she opened it up. One ring was inside of it, because the other one had been taken out obviously and replaced with a note. She took the note out and opened it up. It read:
Sami-
Remember the time I said I would get you something you would wear forever? You thought it was a cheap bracelet or something, didn't you? Or some gay-ass gold locket with some retarded looking picture of us in it. But no, I got you this. This is a friendship ring. I have mine on my finger right now, as you're reading this. You're my best friend, ever. (Notice that I didn't give Bam one of these) I hope you like this gift and wear it for the rest of your life, even after I die, so you'll have a part of me near you 24/7. You're like my little sister that I never had. In other words, you're a fucking awesome girl. I love you, babe.
-Novak
Tears fell on the note as Sami put the ring on her ring finger. She kissed the ring.
"I love you too, Novak."
