Story of Dakota.
January 26, 2009.
at
7:15 my friend dakota was pushed and fell under a bus. which ran
him over. that morning there were so many rumors going around about
what happened. and the police were interviewing people. and i just
ignored them all because as far as i knew he fine. and all morning
i kept texting his phone begging him to text me back saying he was
okay. but that text never
came. i was in my fourth period class and they made
an announcement saying "all teachers check your email".
and right there my heart sank. as i made my way to my fifth period
class it was as if the whole school was yelling different things at
me at once and it was the weirdest feeling trying to ognore all the
rumors i heard. and when i walked into my classroom before the
teacher told the news to the class, my 3 bestfriends just gave me
this look and i just sat down and i started, becuase i knew he was
gone. my teacher Mrs. Jones pulled me out of the room and had a
teacher walk me down to the office so i could call my mom, and
walking down the stairs i built up the courage to ask her if he was
dead, and she just said yes. and we both just sat down on the
stairs and started crying. and it was so hard to walk through the
hall because everyone just saw me crying and knew he was gone too.
that night at the school they had a candle lighting ceremony and
the students brought thing to set infront of a cross that was his
favorite color and we just cried together as a family. forgetting
who we liked or who we hated. and i just couldnt let go. i felt
like he was still alive. and i went to his locker and put pictures
all over it. and at his viewing going up to his mom and crying with
her was the hardest thing i ever did. and his damn funeral was on
the day of his 13th birthday. and they buried him with a piece of
his birthday cake. and everymonth i go to his grave and put flowers
down and just wish i could still be with him. i still see his mom
around and it just feels so weird talking to her because i just
dont know what to say. because when i used to talk to her was when
me and dakota were going out, and she cooked dinner for us, and
took me to his basketball games. i miss this boy so much </3
it just isnt fair hes gone, he was only 12 when he
died.
