Valerie:

Friday morning i was tossing and turning in my bed, There was just one thing in my mind: Stacy.

I missed her so much. Gosh, i wanted her to be her, to tell her all about Noah, all about Chris, even if i had changed from who i was in high school we would still be best friends, we used to see life the same way.

She was closer to me than my own sister, she knew everything that i loved, everything that bothered me, and i knew everything about her life too.

It really hurted me that night when she thought i'd steal the boy that she liked. I would never do that to her, but still, he was the biggest scumbag in school, didn't even know why she liked him so much.

if we hadn't had that fight, she would still be here with me, she wouldn't have gotten so drunk that night. Fuck, even though everyone tried to convince me it wasn't my fault, it kinda felt like it was.

I still feel like it was my fault.

But Noah wouldn't get it. We has never felt what i've felt.

His life is so perfect, he has a gifted mind and he is perfect at college, he's got a gifted body and he swims better than a fish, he's got a perfect family, everybody loves him.

He will soon realize that i'm not perfect, and he is. That i'm too fucked up for him

I decided to shower and ask for my mom's car. I took a long drive to a place i haven't been to in 4 years. The cemetery.

I walked to Stacy's grave, but my legs were shaking, i was really nervous to see her grave. I wasn't even present the day she was buried. i couldn't handle it.

I stood there. the stone had the sentence "Stacy Cooper (1996-2014)". I sat down on the grass, crossing my legs.

"Hey S" I told her quietly. She was the one that started calling me "V" in the first place, and after that i would not let anyone call me differently. Well... until Noah, because my ugly name sounded beautifully coming from his lips.

"i'm sorry i hadn't come in all these years..." i murmured "I think i just... i wasn't ready" A tear escaped from my left eye and i let out a bitter chuckle "Hell.. i'm still not ready, but i missed you" I sighed and looked at the sky

"I wish you were here to tell me what to do" I bit my lip and dried my tears with the sleeve of my sweater "I think Noah is gonna leave me, i'm not good enough for him"I sighed "I I already love him too much... I don't want to fall deeper, i couldn't take another heartbreak like the one i had when you left me..."

I stayed in the cemetery for a couple of hours, talking to a grave like a crazy person, thankfully it was empty, even though i think i'm not the only one that would do these things.

I checked my phone to see if by any chance i had Stacy's mother's number on my phone, but i didn't . I walked to my car and started driving to Stacy's place, i knew too well how to get there, i hoped they haven't move.

I knocked on the door, and Sophia, Stacy's mom opened the door. She was a little shocked when she saw me, i haven't seen her in 4 years.

"Valerie!" she exclaimed and pulled me into a tight hug. "Darling, you've grown so much, you look beautiful!" she said eager and opened the door letting my in "come in, please, can i offer you a coffee?"

I smiled warmly at her and shook my head lightly "no 'mam, I don't drink coffee" i said a little embarrassed, everyone always offered me coffee and i always had to reject it.

"What about Juice? and some cookies?" she said hopeful and i nodded

"That sounds great" I replied and took a seat on their living room. Wow... this house hasn't change at all

Stacy's mom walked to the kitchen to bring what she offered and I hear a car parking in the garage. I wonder who that can be.

To my surprise I see a beautiful teenager walking inside the house chewing gum and looking at the phone.

It must be Trisha, Stacy's little sister God, she was only 11 the last time I saw her, wow 4 years do change people .

"mom, who's car is on the fr... " she got quiet as her eyes landed on me "what the fuck are you doing in my house?" she said glaring at me and I only frowned

"I.. I came to say hi to all of you" I said nervously

"oh, Trisha.. You came back" her mother said holding the tray with food "do you want some cookies?" she asked sweetly

"I can't believe you would let this murderer come into our house" he voice was shaking, she was almost ready to cry

I only stayed there silently maybe I was a murderer. All of it was my fault

"you know very well it wasn't Valerie's fault!! " she scolded " you can't just go blaming people! It was your sister's fault and nobody else's! " the mom yelled and I bit my lip

"are you kidding? She was supposed to take care of my sister!! She let her get drunk, she let her drive that car! What kind of friend does that??" she screamed at her mom and her mom sighed

"to your room Trisha!!! " she said very mad and tears were streaming down my eyes

"I wasn't planning on staying here, shit chatting with a murderer anyways" she glared at me and then ran to her room upstairs

I sighed and Sophia looked at me with an apologetic smile

"I'm sorry... She just misses her sister, she is usually a really sweet girls " so I just turned a sweet girl into a monster, great she must really hate me

"it's okay" I sighed "she is right to hate me though" I looked down at the glass of juice in my hand

"oh darling don't say that, Stacy made a wrong choice, not you, don't blame yourself"

"I should've taken care of her" I whispered and bit my lip

Sophia walked to me and patted my back motherly "Hey, it was not your fault, don't keep. Saying that " even if a thousand people told me that I'm not guilty but one blamed me was enough, I killed her

I drank the glass of juice and put the glass in the tray I looked at her with a sad smile "it was lovely to see you again, Sophia " I told her sincerely and she hugged me

" I hope the next time I see you is not in another 4 years, darling " she joked and I nodded

"it won't, I promise " I said softly and kissed her cheek she hugged me and I waved her goodbye before walking to my mom's car and driving off to my house.

I was a terrible person. I killed my best friend. Noah deserves so much better.
