The Biggest Mistake

It was October 6th, 2009. I remember every second of it as if i went through it a million times, and I did. I went through the pain and the ache of it everyday. That day repeats itself repetitively throughout my head, and I wish to see her again. Her bright smile, when something made her laugh and her royal blue nail polish, she would scratch off in math class. I wish to get one more day with her, just one, but that night was the end of it. The feeling of finding out what happen to her stays with me and as much as i wish for it to disappear there's nothing in my hands to do. Sarah Parker left nothing with her loved ones except the memories of the pain she suffered before ending her life.

This all started around July. Sarah’s 17th birthday was coming up and she would be spending it alone considering her parents left her for the week to celebrate their 25th anniversary. Usually we spent our birthdays together. You know, just two best friends watching movies together, ordering in and a whole lot of sweets, but this year was different. Sarah wanted something big and more memorable. The night of her birthday, Sarah sent out around 20 texts inviting some of our closest friends

After all it was her birthday. I took care of the whole night. Making sure people keep their hands off fragile items, keeping everyone happy and even cleaning up the after mass. I didn't see Sarah much that night. The whole night was very blurry. The last time I remember seeing Sarah that night was talking to a senior named Jack. I didn't know Jack personally, but from what I've heard he had a very bad reputation with girls. He made Sarah smile that night and I wanted to keep her happy but what he did to girls in his past he can do again. That night ended, but that wasn't the end of our story

An adult is watching, and suddenly the game and rules are changed-maybe even ruined.” In this scenario the presence of an authority figure sours the mood.…

    In the summer of 2003, I lost one of my best friends to a rare, unknown, incurable disease called scleroderma.
