FAREWELL

Starring at my house once again,I bent down to kiss the floor with tears gushing down my eyes.I can't believe I'm leaving my family house for good,I witnessed my parents die in the same house I was leaving. I was supposed to arrived at Toronto before Christmas for my wedding. I stood to my feet knowing how hurtful it was.

Sarah....come on,the train is about to move

The voice of my best friend rang on my ear and I cleaned my eyes turning towards the direction of the train.

Drake Tennyson was his name.He has been my closet friend since my grade 2,he was totally a nice guy.He left school when we were in grade 3 that's when I found out that Drake is a sickle cell( SSS) and he has been on life support since he left.

one faithful day, Drake came back.He has been living to his fullest, spending a lot, enjoying his life and visiting lots of places. Infact,he was such a Traveller. Drake has always told me that he wants to explore the world well before his days come to an end .He desperately wanted me to get married and here was his desire almost come true.

Looking at Drake always remind me of how young I am and yes it hurts me.

" come on Sarah the train is about to leave"

I draged my heavy foot slowly not looking back to my family house as I held drake's hand and hop into the train.

Drake's intertwined my fingers with his as we move to our seat,he made me sit so comfortably.

Drake was a lovely guy,but he refused to get married because he knew he didn't have much time to live on earth.

My mind drifted to Alison my fiancee.He was the guy of every girls dream, handsome,tall, funny,smart and lovely. I feel blessed to have a guy like him.

The train begin to move and Drake kept me busy with his earphones which made me relax as I listened to the lyrics of "coulda woulda shoulda by Celine Dion". My eyes drifted to drake's and he smiled at me...

" Your so beautiful Sarah,I could have been the one in Alison place if I wasn't a sicklar...

Hush...

I said immediately, tears rolling down my eyes.i hated it when he reminds me this. Sometimes,I feel afraid to close my eyes because I don't know when he will be gone. I touch his hand knowing well he was saying the truth.

"I want you to remember this Sarah,I want you to know that I will always be there for you no matter what".

I couldn't stop the tears from running down,it was as if he was breathing his last words to me. Pain,pain was all I felt at that moment and I cried more when the lyrics of Celine Dion said"just throwing everything you got". I felt he was throwing everything he got, every last word he have for me.

Instantly,after drawing little attention to my self,I stood up and went to the restroom.
