“The thought still ecos in my head. I could have saved her. I could have been there at her house when I was told she was going to do it. I was told she was going to do it and I did nothing to stop it. NOTHING AT ALL. what kind of person am i, who does that to a friend. who? well aparently I do. I should have dropped everything and went to her house. I should have saved her. I should have took it more seriously. I should have done something but I did nothing. Why did she have to die and why didnt I save her. I wish I could go back to that day and change everything. I wish oh how I wish I would have been a better friend.”
