Year 2018
Death
That was something that I was intimately familiar with, as sad as that may be. My parents and older sister died in a car crash when I was only 10 years old, I was with my grandparents at the time visiting them during thanksgiving. They were only supposed to go to the grocery to buy some extra ingredients when their car was hit by a truck that ran the red light, it came as such a surprise that my grandmother almost joined them.
After the funeral was held I spiraled down into depression, there were times that I wouldn't eat and I just stayed in my room. But thankfully my grandparents staged an intervention and I was able to get help before it became worse. I lived with my grandparents for a while, I changed schools and tried to live my life.
It was there where I met Rachel Miller resident sunshine of my class. I don't know what compelled her to approach me, maybe it was just her sunshine attitude that made her want to become friends with me, but no matter whatever reason she had, being friends with her was one of the best things that happened in my short life. She was the one that introduced me to anime during our grade eight in our last year in middle school, starting with the anime called 'Tokyo Ghoul' which was about this guy that got turned to a ghoul after a library date, which for me I'm not gonna lie is not that bad of a way to go.
During our entire friendship there only a few anime in which we both agreed were our favorites; Gintama since it was funny, Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso for the feels (Rachel would never admit it but she cried like crazy during the final performance) and finally Shingeki no Kyojin for the gritty reality. While we both agreed that Shingeki no Kyojjn is one of our favorites, we both liked it for different reasons.
For her she liked the part where you would never knew who were going to die or what's going to happen (And one of the characters looked like her, Ilse Lagnar was her name, she was very angry when Ilse died), whereas for me instead I liked it due the fact that despite the odds the Survey Corps never gave up, that and the ODM gears were cool as fuck.
Throughout the entire year everything was going smoothly, I made a few friends, Rachel and I had gotten closer, more anime were released and we both graduated. We both decided (she decided, I just followed) to enroll for the same high school, I'm not gonna lie when I say that not being with Rachel was scary for me, she became something of a cornerstone for me, she was always there that little ball o sunshine whenever things were not going right.
Needless to say that during our time in high school the feeling of friendship for her had started to deepen and turn into something more. I tried to ignore I reasoning that I would be breaking her trust in me by falling for her and it worked, at least for a while. During our grade ten I couldn't keep in down anymore and I decided to confess to her. I decided that I would say what I wanted if she turns me down I would've been still satisfied that I was able to say what I wanted. Unfortunately I would never be able to say what I wanted either way. I asked her to meet me the coming Saturday to hang out at the mall since there was a sale on the figurines in one of the stores that we frequent. During the ride to the mall it had started raining making the roads slippery and well you can see where this is going. We were in a straight road when he driver suddenly swerved when a doe jumped into the highway causing the bus to spin out of control which were then hit by oncoming traffic. It was later reported in the local news station stating that over 16 people were injured and 4 were killed.
I was a part of those four people.
