I'm sitting and staring at her,1
On the bedside next to the one she's in...2
I can't see anything wrong with her...3
Well. 4
Not in the inside anyway. 5
Her face...6
It's white, like all the blood was drained out of her.7
Her eyes blackened, from the mix of drugs and alcohol.8
A smell of vomit and smoke came radiating from her,9
Her tender lips have gone blue,10
Dark brown curls, now soaked with sweat, is strung out on a white pillow.11
She keeps twisting in her sleep,12
Eyes tight,13
Hands clutched.14
I can't fathom the sight of my best friend...15
This isn't her..16
It couldn't be...17
Wow! 18
She would hate the fact of all the needles in her.19
If she was conscious,20
She'd freak.21
Haha!22
But..23
I can't even laugh for long.24
My best friend looks like a sight from a horror movie.25
A horror movie that makes you want to reach out and slap the runner!26
"NO! DON'T GO THAT WAY! WHAT ARE YOU DOING!?"27
That's the kind.28
Her chest is moving, but barely.29
You have to look close to see she was still alive.30
To tell you, it it didn't seem like she was..31
She's been asleep, no response, for 13 hours.32
Her poor mother laying over her.33
Wow.34
I never saw her cry before.35
It must be hard..36
No...37
I KNOW it's hard.38
Looking..39
I unconsciously started playing with my bracelet.40
A smile crept across my face.41
It was the bracelet that she gave me when we became friends.42
It was real silver, and it had her name on it. 43
Right in the center.44
Looking over to her,45
I look at her left hand.46
There, on her ring finger,47
Was a silver ring.48
"Ethan" was wrote in fancy letters. 49
I bought that.50
I was sure she would've taken that off awhile ago.51
When she met Landon.52
But no.53
Just like I've never taken hers off either.54
She has hers on her promise finger,55
The finger that connected to the heart.56
As I,57
I have mine on the same hand,58
But on the wrist.59
It's my only way to her heart, 60
When I'm gone and not around.61
But for some reason...62
I knew I wouldn't need that ring...63
No. 64
Not after tonight..65
I still have the images stuck in my head:66
When the first needle went in,67
That was the only time she woke.68
She cried out in pain!69
I wanted to run to her, 70
Hold her in my arms!71
I couldn't...72
The nurses surrounded her.73
Sticking and poking...74
Forcing water in her veins and God knows what more.75
So.76
I snapped.77
Flashes of light went off.78
Snap.79
Snap.80
Snap.81
Every 5 seconds, a snap.82
I wanted to catch every moment.83
The nurses yelled at me,84
But I continued to snap85
Finally.86
19 pictures.87
Done.88
Complete.89
I had my moments.90
A tear.91
A scream.92
The pain.93
She was in pain. 94
I felt it in my heart.95
The looks on her face.96
I cried.97
I couldn't take it.98
So I went to the bed.99
To where I am now.100
Looking at her...101
Hand held by her sleeping mother who cried herself to sleep.102
Who took a picture, only an hour ago, 103
Of me, kissing this broken girl.104
I don't care of her boyfriend.105
He too is here.106
In the corner,107
On the floor,108
Asleep.109
Nothing matters to me.110
Nothing but her.111
"Just make it through,"112
I keep sending to her..113
Hoping...114
Waiting..115
Praying to a God I never felt existed...116
Until now.117
And this is the first time I've ever really prayed to Him.118
So bowing my head,119
...I prayed...120

Thanks, Benny.
This is a pretty old write, and it was meant from the heart of two people. We're still talking about it to his day. All those damn pictures Ethan took, I have now. But thanks.

Thank you. But I'll never run from you my love. ^.^ You're an awesome friend, I don't know why anyone would. But those who do, they don't deserve you. You are someone special, and never let anyone tell you different. Thank you, and I'm always here for you, girlie!

FantabulousFriends!!!
This reminded me of one of my stories...only, put much better...there were a few minor mistakes...but, I'm sure you'll fix 'em soon enough...typos, and what not...regardless...this is something many will relate to, because sadly many have been in the same position...I find it interesting that you wrote from Ethan's point of view...and did it so perfectly...you two must be connected by the heart strings...such a chord needs no ring, nor wrist band to show or prove such Love, and bond...may you always have each other in your Lives...you are so lucky...but more than that...so Blessed to have been okay...but also to have so many people there for you, who truly care for you, and want you to succeed...I've found myself in Ethan's shoes more than once...it's never easy...but everytime...we get stronger...and the Love only grows for each person...these are the examples of Unconditional Love...these are the differences when situations turn moments into impossible...God is with you...and my Prayers too...Love can't even explain it...take care...May God Bless you, and keep you all of His Days...
