Bad News

His friend knocked

We sat in the porch

"You see,

Adrian - him"


What?

Why didn't he come?

Is he mad?

What did I do wrong?


Did I forget our anniversary?

No

Is it over

What did I do


It's 11pm

I saw him last at 4pm

He texted me at

6pm


He hadn't answered

My text at 7pm

Is he mad?

He would've told me


Why is Jay

Here?

Where is he

What did I do


We were holding

Hands at school

He was

Happy


"Where is he,

Is he mad?"

I ask,

Shaking


"No he's not mad"

His voice breaks

What happened

Where is he


"Where is he?"

No answer

"Jay, where is he"

No answer


"I swear, Jay,

Where is Adrien?"

He shakes his head

He looks down


"Sarah, he...

He got in a crash"

He's near tears

Uh oh


"Is he...

In the hospital?"

He starts to cry

Silently


I give him a minute

Maybe he will be ok

I can visit him

Buy him Sour Patch Kids


"It's okay we

Can visit him."

I hold back tears

My voice cracks


"We can't, Sarah"

"Why"

"Because-"

"Because what!?"


"Because

Adrien

Died,

Sarah"
