I was freaking out. I had major thoughts of my best friend being dead. I couldn’t sleep without picturing something terrible happening to her and end up crying. My fifth grade bully kept asking about her and saying she’s not going to live. Then my teacher pulled me out in the hallway to talk to me, I started to cry. She didn’t have any news for me, but she wanted a special favor. I felt better.

Then she got the call about her and she pulled me out this time for real. I had butterflies in my stomach. She said, “I’m sorry but - ”

I cut her off sliding down the wall. She said, “She will be back in one month.” She didn’t mean for me to get the wrong idea.

I walked into the room on week 3 and I saw strawberry blond hair. I ran up and gave her a big hug. We did not leave each other’s sights since then. That was the time my friend had to be hospitalized.
