"My Friend is Gone"
by
Brandi

I
had a best friend named Sandy who loved me as if I were her sister. I missed her after she left. So listen up to this and you'll know how it feels to lose friends.

Sandy and I had a blue lake that was next to us where the sun shinned on it and it sparkled in your eyes and made you feel that its there for you. So one afternoon on August 6, 1977 Sandy and I ran to the lake and splashed around with laughter. We kicked the water about.

As Sandy breath deeply in I asked her if she would be my friend forever. She nodded and said,
"thats what friends are for."

As mother cleared the table the phone rong with loudness. Mother looked up from the table and smiled with a wink.
"Please get that luciy I'm doing the bills" mother said with out a breath.
"yes mom" I said with a small smile.

As I answered it mother listen carefully to our conversation. As I heard the guy with a strong voice say,
" dead"
I dropped the phone and screamed "Sandy".

Mother dropped her pen and ran to my back and she patted it.
"what happen?", she asked, wiping my tears.
I glanced at her and said "Sandy might die"
mother said asking about to cry.
"she has a heart disease" I said out of breath. Mother just sat there patting my back.

A year later Sandy came home she no longer had heart disese. When she came back we went to the lake and splashed and laughed again. Something came over Sandy she stoped and fell to the water.
"Sandy" I screamed out with out a breath.
She rolled over to me and held my hand tight. "I love you luciy I always have. You were the best friend Iever had I'll miss."
I kepted holding her hand telling her not to die.

A tear rolled down her cheack. I lied there till she died in my arms. I was so mad and sad that I whanted to die myself. But God touched my heart and I never ever whanted to die. I still remeber her and still cry.



The End
