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"
