She Was My Best Friend.

I met her in 5th grade. After school we played. We were inseparable back then. When we played tag she’s always when. She was so much shorter than me. I filled out before she. She was my best friend. She was always my best friend. My dad always hit me. Hers tried to save me. My dad was as drunk as he could be. So to her house I would flee. Then my world came apart. Secrets came out barried in my heart. Then there was the night I tried to take my life. She rushed to my side. She was my best friend. She was always my best friend. Then thru the trial. My body was so easy to defile. I starved and purge Almost until there was no return. I went to a treatment center. She always went to visit there. She was my best friend. She was always my best friend. My sister died. Once again she came to my side. I lost faith and consumed rage. She tried to tell me it was only a stage. I yelled and told her to get away. Later I regret what I had to say. She understood me. She forgave me. She was my best friend. She was always my best friend. Now she has come out of the closet. Her parents see it the way they call it. She says she has always known it. She was tired of hiding it. She was gay. For once I did not know what to say. She has AIDS. Eventually her life will fade. Her parents turned there back. I lived up to our 5th grade pack. She was my best friend. She was always my best friend. She lives her life a different way But I love her anyway. Thru this fight I stay We fight it together day to day. Because She was my best friend. She was always my best friend. Jeanette Hedglin Age 25
