I scream out " James please dont leave me I love you. I love you. I-, I start to cry harder than before holding my dead best friend. How can I just now realize I am in love with him. Pam runs in worried and sees me holding him. She was always the calm type but she started to cry and fell to the ground. Her boyfriend called somebody to pick up the body. I yelled why take him from me! I love him! The people got there and they took him from me. I yelled to my dead best friend, " I love you, we will win the tournament for you!" Pam helps me off the ground. I am still gripping onto the hoodie I gave james. I scream out again " WHY DO I REALIZE I LOVE HIM AFTER HE IS GONE."
I have to tell his family today they can't just not know. I call in advance holding back from crying on the phone. They told me that they are home and I can come over anytime. I head over and his little sister greets me. James loved her so much. I sat down at the table and I explained to his family what happened. After i told his mom that i loved him so much and i would like to go up to his room and sit for a bit. She is okay with that and she is in tears upset about losing her beloved son. I walk upstairs and go to his room.
I sat on his bed and started tearing up. I wanted to be strong and not cry in front of his family. I burst into tears still having the hoodie I gave him. I was wearing the hoodie. It smelt like him but not just like him it smelt like home. I looked around and found a box with my name on it. I opened the box and found a letter in an envelope labeled Dante, the one I love. I begin to read and tear up. Dear. Dante by time you find this i will be dead i left this here for you. Thank you for being there for me. I love you even though you don't love me the way I love you. I want you to move on and live life to the fullest. I begin to cry harder while I read the next line. Thank you Dante for the hoodie It reminds me of you. Thank you for being there and I want to let you know I love you. You mean the world to me. I want you to know I've loved you since we were little but now I understand I Love you more than anything. I want you to be happy with your life. Thank you Dante... I love you - James
Hot tears drip down my face onto the paper. Sobs rip through my chest all I can do is hold on to his hoodie that he returned back to me. I love James. I love him, that's all I can think or say. I love him. But I lost my chance and now he is gone.
