Eddie groaned, he was making his way to school, he was late of course, but it didn't matter, ever since Sean's death he'd changed, he'd known Sean since Kindergarten, before that, they'd first met because there familieis went to the same church, it was sad, Joseph had ended his life. That Little Rat Bastard. He thought stopping at a red light, he was glad Joan was still here, she was his closest friend aside from Sean, but she'd changed after the shooting. He knew it, he'd tried to comfort her, he remembered the last text message he received from Sean, that day before his life had been taken, as well as many other good people.

Hey Eddie, your the best friend i could ever have, I heard bullets, please take care of Joan.. He had saved the message, it never failed, every time he looked at it..tears began streaming down his face. No matter what he wouldn't fail his friend, he wouldn't let anybody hurt Joan, the light flashed green, and he revved the engine before heading forward, he was nearing his school, he needed to stop getting tardied, although his mother didn't nag. She knew this was the second death that had affected him, his father's death a few years ago had affected him. He wondered why everytime he grew close to people, they seemed to die. The thing he feared the most was not loosing his own life, but loosing his mother, and Joan, if that happened, life would have lost all meaning in his eyes, he'd have no reason not to take his own life.

Finally getting to the school, he parked his vehicle, and put away his phone, staring at the messages Sean had sent him wouldn't help him get better. I miss ya man, and I don't know what to do, but I'll take care of your girl, I'll help your parents at the shop. He opened up his glove compartment where he left a spare tissue box. He picked up some tissues, and dabbed at his face. Wiping the tears off he tossed the tissues onto the ground, and locked his car,b before heading to school the first bell had already rung, he just wanted to see Joan, she was the one person who made him felt better. Making his way through the hallways, he got to his locker, which was right by the Girl's changing room, he remembered how Sean helped him get this locker. Another sad memory. Dear God Please..please..help me get through this, I don't know what to do anymore, I just want to make the right choices in life, I want to make this pain go away.

Finishing his silent prayer, he opened up his locker, and he grabbed his book, he struggled to remember his schedule. His first class was Drama. He spotted Joan entering the school, and went after her to giving her a brief hug. "Hey Joan, it's good to see you again" He said trying to remember where the Drama classroom was.
