Zachary Winters: A Short Story

Decent Essays
Life was so cruel. Everything that I love will be taken away from me. My best friend for years left me without saying good bye. Then, she happened.

She doesn't want to tell me anything about it. She always kept everything to herself. She smiled like nothing was gonna happen, she joked like she was trying to entertain others who worried about her and she loved anyone like she's not gonna see them anymore.

That part was true. She said she might not see us in the future as she will be busy with her study for future and bucket list. Deep inside, I know how she lied to everyone to try make them less worried about her problem.

I, Zachary Winters, do care about a girl once named Harper Bryan and here, I wrote my journey with her.
