Charlie was feeling down when we got to the cafeteria, and I really wanted to make her happy because who would want to be sad while eating lunch? So I made her smile, and we started laughing because I fell off my chair. She helped me up off the floor. When she did we were still laughing. I couldn't breathe because of how hard I was laughing, we ended up calming down and finished lunch. We walked to our separate classes and said goodbye to each other.

A few months later.

The 3rd period bell rang, as I sat down in ELA. Charlie would be in Spanish, if she was still here. I miss her so much, it's been 2 months since she committed. I wish I could have helped her more than I had. If i had stopped her on that day she would still be here, I remember it like it was yesterday. I have felt awful ever since then, she was the sun to my moon. The only person that would make me smile. I'll never forget the impact she made on my life. I miss her so much. I continued to think about her through the rest of the period, the end of class bell rang. I stood up, spun around, grabbed my stuff and headed to 4th period. When I got there I started to think about how much I missed Charlie and couldn't hold the tears back. I walked to my seat silently crying, I sat down and put my head down on the table and sobbed. The teacher came over to check on me and saw that I had been crying. She asked if I wanted to go to one of the councilors and I said yes. I walked down there still sobbing. While I cried I could feel someone hugging me although no one was there. I'm guessing Charlie wanted to comfort me, like she didn't want to see me upset. I mean, if she was still here I don't think she would want to see me sad. She did say many times that I was her favorite person and the only person that made her happy. She made me happy, I made her happy it kinda makes sense doesn't it? I don't know. I miss her, I wonder how her family's doing. Her family was quite mean to her, i think that was the reason why she committed. Her siblings were really nice! It was her parents that were the problem. They would always yell at her and tell her that she would always be a boy. I will always see her as a girl. Ever since she came out as trans to me she had gotten happier and then she did it. I wasn't expecting her to actually commit. It felt like she was always joking about it, and then she actually did it. As the counselor walked into the room I started crying again. he asked me if i was okay, Why would you ask someone that if they are CLEARLY crying. A few minutes passed and i ended up calming down. I talked to the counselor for a little while before it was time to go. I walked to my bus and sat down and texted Charlies phone number. Its not like she would answer, shes gone.
