Our Rebel Love Song

Dead

BEEP BEEP BEEP! I woke up and slowly got my phone from my side table. It was Tora. I quickly answered the phone.

“Hello?” I heard sobbing on the other end.

“What’s wrong, Tora?” I asked/

“A-A-Ash. He’s g-gone!” She sobbed.

“What do you mean he’s gone?” I asked.

“He’s gone. He’s dead. He’ll never come back..” I didn’t really believe her. Ash, all of a sudden dead? Sure.

“Really, Tora?’

“Yes, really!” She screamed. “Why would I lie about this type of shit?”

“I-I don’t know.” I had to sit for a minute and let everything sink in because I was having a hard time accepting this. A tear rolled down my cheek.

“I’m sorry. I just can’t believe this happened.” I started sobbing myself. “How could this happen? All of a sudden gone?”

“He died in a car crash driving home.” I ran out of my room to find my mother.

“Mom!” I cried. 

“Yes, Andy?” She said in the kitchen. “Why are you crying?” I threw my phone on the couch and hugged her tightly as I started bawling.

“He’s gone. Ash is gone. He’s dead. I don’t know what I’m going to do, Mom. He was my everything and now he’s gone!” Mom patted my back.

“Oh, honey. I’m so sorry to hear that! Everything happens for a reason.” 

“What reason was this for, Mom? He was mine and he was taken away from me for no reason.” I picked up my phone again and then ran into my room. I dialed Dylan’s number and waited for an answer.

“What’s up, Andy?”

“Ash is dead. Tora just told me. Apparently he died in a car crash. I don’t know how this could have happened. My everything is now gone! I’m going to need you to help me through with this, Dylan.”

“O-Okay, Andy. No problem. I’m with you 100% dude. I’m here for you whenever you need me.”

“I’m going to need you a lot, Dylan.” I heard him laugh.

“Okay. I’ll be over in a few minutes. I promise that you’re gonna make it through. Trust me. You’ll become a great person one day. Not that you aren’t now.
