Chapter 6 "Reality" At the back of my mind, there sat


 


 

                                  Chapter 6 "Reality"


            At the back of my mind, there sat a memory of someone, and I couldnt really figure out why he was there, but I couldnt stop thinking about Kevin. It was weird because youd think id be concentrated on getting over Adam, but it just, didnt seem to matter to me as much as it did before. I just, kept wondering how Kevin was, and what he was doing. So, I fallowed my curiosity and texted him, which turned out to be a great idea.

            Kevin became my best friend. Although we havent had the chance to hang out, I feel a connection with him that runs deeper then just a "friendship". I trust him and always have. His wisdom always seems to help me.

            November 13, was a terrible day for both of us. I woke up and as far as i knew all was well, it was going to be a good day. I had my usual good morning text from Kevin, although there was a second text from him? He was worried, concerned about his best friend. See, his best friend Jason worked with him at a car dealership. However, Jason was late, and not answering his phone? I continued to reassure kevin that everything was okay, he was probably just sleeping in. Until i got a phone call, Kevin was crying. Jason was on his way to work when he got hit riding his motorcylce. He was dead.  I felt so terrible, I didnt know what I could do. I listened, as Kevin explained to be the news. I just was shocked that this had happened. Hearing him cry, was the hardest thing for me. I wish I could have taken the pain he felt away, I wanted so badly to switch him positions, so he could be happy. To fix things, to make them right would have been my one wish. However, reality doesnt work that way, and thats something I had to find out the hard way.

            Im learning now that everything happens for a reason, we should learn from our past experiences, and except all that weve been through. Going through life regretting, and hating ourselves just makes things worse. Like Kevin always told me "we have to cherish life the best that we can, because we only have so much time here." I was growing up to understand things so much more clearer, I was learning so much more about life. I found faith I never had until now. Once again, things were starting to look up, and that excited me.
