Things with Conner seemed to be going great. We always had fun together and he would always pay attention to me. I loved every second we got to spend together, and he would do anything for me. That is the number one thing I needed, as I learned that one of my best friends, Leah, had just died in a car accident. The week after, I was a total wreck. I had never been so depressed in my whole life. Even though Conner was constantly texting and calling to check up on me, I couldn’t have gotten through it without my mom. Coincidently, my mom’s best friend had died in a car accident when she was a teenager too, so she knew exactly how I felt.
I found out from my parents that she had died. That was probably one of the hardest things they had to tell me. Word had traveled fast about Leah and I was constantly getting texts from friends asking how I was doing. Some friends I didn’t expect to text me, and others who I for sure thought they would, didn’t. At that point I learned who my true friends were.
I am fully thankful that Conner was there for me. He would pretty much do anything I asked him and didn’t care how terrible I looked. I ended up missing two days of school just because I was so depressed. But I got tons of support when I went back to school the next day. Everyone would come up and ask me how I was doing, especially all of my friends.
When I walked into school that day, Byron was the first person I saw. When he saw me he immediately ran over and hugged me.
“You’re finally at school!” Byron said. “I was afraid you would never come back. How are you doing? I bet this is really hard on you.”
“Yeah I’m doing okay.” I responded. “Thanks for asking. It reminds me of all the great friends that I have in my life.”
“Well, let me know if you ever need anything. I am always here for you, Maddie.”
“Thanks, Byron. Maybe we can hang out sometime. I seem to feel better when I’m around my friends.”
“Sounds great. We can talk about what we want to do in gym class today.”
“Okay. See you then.”
All throughout the day, up until gym class, I tried to think of things Byron and I could do together. I also needed to find a way to tell Connor about us hanging out without him freaking out. I’ve seemed to notice that Conner is not a huge fan of Byron.
When gym class rolled in, we played our usual speedball. Now, I’m not saying I don’t like speedball, but when you play it over, and over, and over…it gets kind of boring. But that’s okay because it’s one of Byron’s favorite games.
We ended up deciding that we would spend the day goofing off and doing pretty much nothing and occasionally drive around town like Leah and I used to do. Every time I think about her, I remember all the fun and crazy memories we had together. It’s hard to think that’s gone, and we can never do that anymore. I want to believe it’s all a dream that I seem to never wake up from.
