CHAPTER 24

Dear Diary,

Two days had passed after Kaycee's burial.I'm not also attending class for two days already.I'm still in distress.I miss Kaycee already.I'm not used being alone in this room.Sometimes,I just imagine that Kaycee is just sleeping inside her room but reality keeps on slapping me the fact.The fact that she's already gone.

It was 6 in the evening when I heared a knock on the door.I heared Harvey and Chenna's voice. "Zarine,open the door!" Chenna's voice was broken. "I already lost,Kaycee and I don't wanna lose another bestfriend again!" She cried.I also wept.

"Zarine please open the fuckin' door!" Harvey yelled but I stayed silent. "Do you think Kaycee would like this?Do you think she'll rest in peace because of this?Do you think she'll be happy seeing you like this?" Harvey's voice became rasp.

I was thunderstriken because of what  he uttered.I cried hard for I realized that all I did was very wrong.I gathered intestinal fortitude to open the door.Fortunately,I did it.They were relieved when I finally came out.Chenna hugged me while crying.I cried too as I hugged her back.

"Oh my god,I can't afford to lose you too Zarine.I'm glad that you finally came out." She said.Joy was visible in her eyes.

Harvey hugged me too.I did the same to me.It felt right whenever I'm close to him.I cried hard. "I'm sorry...I'm so so sorry." I said.I looked at Chenna as I said that.She just smiled at me while still crying.

"Ssshh...it's okay now." Harvey hushed me.He caressed my hair.

"I...I p-promise I won't do it again." I said. "Group hug?" I uttered.They all smiled and came closer to me.Seelder,Jason,Harvey,Chenna and I hugged each other.

At that moment,I knew that we'll going to live a new life and I have to accept the fact that something has really changed.But I won't ever forget the memories with Kaycee.She'll be forever in our hearts and memories.
