Creative Writing Piece on Friendship

Creative Writing Piece on FriendshipTIL THE ENDFebruary 14th, 2014As I filled my last luggage, I waited around my, now empty, room. My last hour here, in New York. I guess it didnt matter eachmore, since tot e very(prenominal)(prenominal)y my friends had left(a) me they all turned their backs on me when I needed them the most. On the bright side, my de classure would be less painful, since there was no integrity to be missed. It was a bright sunny day of August and I was wretched to start a new life in California.We had been driving for four smashing hours now, and there was no turning back. I was sitting in the passenger seat alongside my m another(prenominal), who was driving silently. The last few months had been very dark, filled with sadness. incessantly since the incident, we had barely said a word to each other, for the time had been too painful to even call in.This is it, she grimaced. Our new family unit. The pitiful trucks will arrive concisely, so go ahead, go take a look at your new room. I got the completely house painted a while ago, your room is a scintillation cream color, on the nose as you love.Thank you. I gently hugged her, and entered the house to find my beloved room.Even if the house was a lot smaller than my h wholenessst-to-god one, this room was bigger. Indeed, the color she chose was gorgeous.This is the start of some topic new, I thought. Meet new people, make new memories, and forget the sexagenarian ones that haunt me.My thoughts disconnected when the doorbell rang.Probably the moving trucks, I thought, going downstairs to open the door. To my surprise, there stood a boy, probably my age, smiling.Hey, Im Scott, and Im your new neighbour, he smiled, warmly.Im Paige, puritanical to meet you, I smiled back.He had crystal clear, blue eyes, lightly ruffled brown hair, and an irresistible smile. He was a little taller than me, which made me look up every time he spoke.Do you demand me to show you around? He asked, poli tely.I dont-Sure she chamberpot My mother racetrack me off. Paige, just be home by supper. And out(p) I was, with a guy I barely knew, wondering around the streets of a town I barely knew.This is the park I often go to with my friends, he pointed out to a cute little playground, with a vast area of grass.Do you admit a lot of friends?I establish a few, he laughed. Oh, and, this is the tame I go to, probably the one youll be attending, too, since its the only one around. I looked up at him, and smiled. Why couldnt we thrust more guys as scented as him in my old town? Most of them were jerks.By the way, how old are you? He asked.Im fifteen, further Ill be sixteen in a few years, but, you know, whatever, I laughed. You?Im sixteen. I actually turned that age a few days agoThats great Happy late birthday, I guess, I giggled.Thanks.As we walked back home, I couldnt have felt happier. I just hoped my mother wouldnt ask too many questions.Your mom told you to be home by supper, so here you are. See you around then? He smiled.See you around, I smiled back.Luckily, my mother didnt ask too many questions. The quietus of the week went by very quickly, and I didnt even get to see Scott again. The next thing I knew, it was my first day at a new school. As I stepped outside, I noticed him sitting on my porch.You didnt really think I was going to let you go to school alone on your first day? He got up.Actually, I did. But Id definitely love to walk to school with you, I smiled.During the whole walk, he spent most of the time asking me about my home town, but never asked about my friends.So, what do your friends think about this whole moving thing? The only question I didnt want to answer. Crap.Well, um, you see I dont really have any friends. They all left me after, um, something happened.What happened? He looked confused.Its a long story. I barely knew him. Could I trust him? Yet, he was my only friend.He stopped. We have time, he smiled. Classes dont start until an hour from now. I checked my schedule, and were in most of the same classes, by the way, He smiled.Well, um Basically, my father left town for a week, for a business trip. Three days after his departure, someone he worked with called us, and told us that he, um He died. A heart attack. Oh god, my eyes were already teary.Surprisingly, he wrapped me in his arms. Youve never told anyone before me, huh? It shows Your emotions. Dont worry, Ill never leave your side. He squeezed me tighter.I felt secure in his arms. After wiping away my tears, and improve my mascara using my phone as a mirror, we continued our walk to school.It was huge. The walls were tall and full of colourful designs my old school was nothing compared to this.What do you think? he asked.I think I think its amazing I hope the people here are just as great, I joked.Um Depends who, he laughed. I guessed that was reassuring.He showed me around, and then led me to my locker. It wasnt far from his, so I at least knew some one nearby. During the ii first periods, we didnt do much in class. The teacher introduced me to everyone, and made me talk a bit about where I came from. A few people came to talk to me, which was really sweet. cardinal girl, Angel, helped me to organize my locker according to my schedule, and helped me around when Scott wasnt there. Scott. He was probably with his friends, which I havent met yet. They must be cool.Paige, do you want to have lunch with me, today? Well, me and my friends, Angel asked.Um, sure Ill just go come apart Scott to not look for me.Scott, huh? Yeah, hes a really nice guy. She smiled.Indeed, he is, I smiled back. Then I left to go find him.He was at his locker, and to my surprise, he was alone.Scott Hey I approached his locker.Oh, hey. How were your first classes? He asked.They were cool. I met a girl, Angel Well, Im actually going to have lunch with herOh, um, really? He looked at me. I I thought Um, anyway, just Her friends Be careful. Shes sweet, but th e others He stopped.What about the others?I dont like to judge. Have a nice lunch, though, see you soon.Then, he left. What was wrong with him? Anyway, I left to go find Angel, who was sitting with four other girls.Hey, Paige Over here Angel shouted. I smiled, and walked to her table. As I sat next to her, one of her friends whispered to another.Thats the new girl, right?Yeah I didnt think Angel would actually go talk to her Urgh, that girl is too sweet And that wasnt a compliment.Why is the new girl even eating with us?Well, Im pretty sure she doesnt have any friends here She probably wont make any, either. Then they laughed. They thought I couldnt hear them, but I could. And it felt like my old high school all over again.Paige Are you alright? Angel looked at me. I couldnt hold back the tears anymore, this was too much.I Im sorry, I have to go. And with that, I left the cafeteria, my organisation dripping with soaked mascara, trying to find a place to hide.Paige Paige PAIGE, SLOW blue I heard someone scream. Then, someone grabbed my arm, and turned me around It was Scott.Dont Scott My breathing was uneven.What happened? Wait Dont answer that The girls, huh?I was incapable(p) of saying a single word. I just looked up at him, trying to wipe away the tears. Thats what happens when you dont listen to my prototype He giggled, and wrapped me in his arms. We stayed like that, until someone came.Oh god, Paige Im so sorry about my friends They always do that to the new kids I shouldve just spent my lunch time with you, alone I Wait, am I interrupting something? She smirked.No, oh, no, haha Its fine, I dont blame you, I smiled.She gave me a accommodate squeeze. Tomorrow. Just the three of us, she winked, and then left.The rest of the day went perfectly fine, with my new friends. Actually, the six months that followed were probably the best six months Ive ever lived. Scott and I call on extremely close, to the point where I started to feel something for him. That feeling made me a little uncomfortable, since we were only friends. Yet, he didnt seem to be himself, lately, either.Today, a Saturday, we were going to spend the day together, Scott and I. He said he had something important to tell me. I wonder what Just then, someone knocked on the door.Hey He chirped.Hey, I smiled. I told my mother that I was leaving, then left with Scott to a park nearby.We sat on the bench, and stayed there, in an awkward silence, for about five minutes.Scott, what was that important thing you needed to tell me? I asked.Um, well, um Listen I I just Would you I mean What? At that moment, I felt his overtakes turn my face against his, and gently pressing his lips against mine. It felt like an explosion of paradise And questioning.Scott, IIm sorry, I shouldnt have. You see, I He was extremely nervous, but it was cute.Yes, Scott, Ill be your girlfriend, I giggled. At that moment, his face lit up like I had never seen him before. But, the thing is Weve known each other for six months, only But I am willing to try, because I love you, I smiled. I had never said these three last words to a guy in my life, and somehow it felt good.Im glad. And, I love you, too, he blushed, then gave me a quick kiss on the cheek. Honestly, I had no idea how these relationship things worked, but I guessed that Id just have to follow his lead.After a few weeks of being together, we in the end went public. To my surprise, no one, or closely, judged us, not even Angels brat gang. Although, going public didnt mean trying to make everyone jealous or uncomfortable. It meant not being shy or afraid to hold hands, or even kiss, around other people. When I talked about us to other people, it almost sounded like a perfect fairytale couple, even thought we werent. We fought a few times, nothing extravagant. I cant imagine myself without him. Yet, another part of me knows were only sixteen, and I feel like that doesnt really bother himHey, Paige, said Scott, as he came ove r to me and kissed me.Hey, I smiled.Listen, I have something to ask you, and Ive been wanting to ask you for a very long timeYes? What now?Will Will you love me Forever? Oh, god, what kind of a question was that? I cant possiblyScott, I chuckled. Were only sixteen, remember? I love you, a lot, but you know Anything can change between now and later What else could I say?I know, but still Please answer my question. Will you love me, forever? Damn, he was determined.I I dont know, Scott. Please ask me some other time. He looked down.Alright. Well, I have to get going, I have, um, stuff to do. With that, he left me, standing on my porch, alone, wondering about what just happened.Later that night, I tried to message him, but he never replied. Maybe he was really busy? I tried to concentrate on something else, to get my mind off things. As I took out a piece of unfilled paper and a pencil, I heard a loud gun shot, not far from where I was standing.Mom? Whats going on? I asked, hurriedne ss downstairs.Its nothing, honey. Probably just some loud thunder. Now, please, go back to your room. I barely had the chance to speak, that I was already in my room.As I laid in my bed, I wondered What happened? Where did that gunshot come from? I hoped it didnt come from Scotts house Then, I fell asleep.I woke up the next morning with a disastrous call from Angel.PAIGE ITS IMPORTANT Angel yelled.Whats more important than my sleep? I yawned.Scott. She answered. No way. That gunshot, it couldnt beWhat happened?He Last night, a robber barged in his house Scott tried to defend himself, and get the guy out And he was armed He She cut her breathing. He got shot, Paige. Scott got shot, and hes in the hospital.No, this cant be possible No, please, please tell me this is a lie I cried.Im so sorry, Paige She sniffed.No. I have to go, sorry. Ill talk to you later, okay? I tried to keep myself from falling apart.Its fine, take all the time you need, Ill be here.Thank you, I love you. With tha t I hook up, and rushed out the house to the nearest bus that could take me to the world(a) Hospital.Scott Where is Scott Adams? I shouted. There was no point in staying calm. I couldnt.You must me Paige. Hes right here, follow me. Beware though, he just came out of surgery so he wont be looking so good. This couldnt be happening. 8 months of happiness, and this how it all crashes down. I cant lose another person.As I walked into the room, I noticed his mother waiting outside the room, with a bunch of tissues filling her puffed face.Scott Oh, Scott, please be alright, I said, worriedly.Paige Im fine He tried to smile.Dont Youll be out in a week, right? Back home, smiling, talk of the town long walks in the streets, holding hands All that fun stuff, in a week, I tried to cheer him up. All he managed to do was smile. He was barely able to do anything. That gunshot hit him too hard, as hard I would want to hit the guy who did this.For the rest of the week, I visited him, normal afte r school, until very late at night. I couldnt stand seeing him like this, yet I didnt want to leave his side, in case they were my last moments with him. Angel has been helping me a lot, trying to get my spirit back up, but it was useless. Everyday, I brought him a red flower, reminding him that my love stands by his side. He was strong, and I was sure he would be able to face this.On Friday, after school, I went to see him, like I did every other day. As I was about to enter the room, the nurse stopped me.Miss Brooks, I just wanted to tell you that Scott will be fine, hes weak, but hes getting better, she smiled.Thank you, this makes me feel a lot less stressed, I grinned. She smiled, and left.Did you hear that, Scott? Youll be alright Youre getting better, and soon youll be out of here, I said, cheerfully.Paige, I No, I wont make it His voice was fading.What? No, youll be fine, please stay with me, okay? Its going to be fine. I took his hand, and gently squeezed it.I love you, Pa ige His eyes were slowly shutting.No, shut up, dont say that, please. Dont think like that, youll be fine, I The nurse said I was extremely worried.The nurse came while I was sleeping, she couldnt tell His eyes slowly shut, and his hand started to cool.No, no, dont Please, Scott, I couldnt take this.Im sorry He whispered.Yes, I slowly approached his ear. Yes, I will love you forever.He smiled slowly, as his heart rate slowed, too. At that moment, his chest stopped moving, his eyes shut, along with the rest of him.This couldnt be. He couldnt be gone.Scott Scott, please stir up Someone, help, he just He just Hes dead, I cried, loudly. Tears poured down my face, as I couldnt control my emotions. The doctors came rushing in, checking his pulse, trying to get him going again, but it was no use. The doctor turned to me, shaking his head, as a sign he was gone, forever. The doctors took him away, and I was too surprise to even breathe. I couldnt hear anything, except for my heart beating faster than ever.Paige Paige Paige, we have to go, Angel shook me. I came here as soon as I got the news. Its very tragic, but you cant stay here forever.No I protested. I dont want to leave This is a dream, hes not dead Hes not Ill wake up tomorrow morning with a cute text from him telling me how much he loves me, and Ill smile, just like every time he texts me. This is just a dream. Angel, please tell me that this is just a dream, I sobbed.Its Its not, Paige. Im sorry, she hugged me. I cried even louder. Its over. Hes gone. Ive lost two of the most important people in my life during the past year, and I just couldnt bear it. Angel walked me to her car, and drove us to her house.Four days later, it was time for the funeral. I had to do a speech, and I wasnt sure if I could make it. As they called my name, Angel gave me a quick hug, and helped me get up and go to the microphone.Um Scott Adams was probably the best thing that has ever happened to me. He was the first person I met wh en I arrived here. He was also my only friend, at first. His smile was contagious, and he could make anyone smile, even during their darkest days. He was a special guy, someone Ill never forget, someone Ill never replace. At first, seeing him fade in front of me was probably the worst thing ever. Yet, I now know that I was with him during his last moments, and that I loved him, very much. Someday, well meet again, in another world. We had know each other for eight months, and been together for two. I will never forget the best times we had. To all of you who were also very close with Scott, Im sure his spirit is with us, right now, smiling to the fact that were all here, for him. Scott was different, and I think we all know that. He will be missed, but someday, many years from now when well also fade away, well all meet again, well all be happy again. Scott isnt in any pain, he left us peacefully, and I am grateful to have known him. Thank you very much.I exited the stage, seeing e veryone crying and position for my speech. Before going back to my seat, I approached the coffin where he laid, peacefully, saying my last words to him, Forever and ever.
