Desiree's POV
"Please, for the love of God, stop crying, you are so annoying!." The woman next to me wants me to stop crying, so I throw the flower vase on the side table, which makes her wince and her eyes widen. "What are you doing?!!" she exclaims.
"Who are you to tell me to stop sobbing when I've just lost a friend?"
Her expression changes and says, "I'm sorry… I don't know that you lost someone."
"What do you think? Do you think I am crying for no reason!" I yelled at her and attacked her but she walked away immediately saying sorry again to me.
Then the mother of Enrique arrived, her eyes were red and it's because she is crying all the way through to go to the hospital.
"How's my son?"
I gulped because I couldn't tell her the truth. Then a moment of silence allowed her to understand what I meant, "I'm sorry…"
"W-what?" She said the nurse comforted her and took her to the morgue section.
"Oh my son!" she is shaking while crying, her eyes are in tears and I could feel the heartbreak she felt. "My son!!!" she screamed while closing her eyes, her hand in her chest. She could not take it so she passed out.
"I'm sorry…" that's the only thing that I can say.
After Three Hours,
As I walk away crying, I feel as if I'm floating; I can't believe Enrique is gone; he left this world by protecting me and making me safe.
It's as if all the weight has been lifted from my shoulders, and I can finally breathe again, until I'm reminded of the situation when my best friend left me and that he was really gone, and I can't turn back time to protect him.
Johanna noticed me in the street and grabbed my hand because I was about to be hit by a bus.
"Desiree! What's going on? Would you like to die?" She exclaimed while she was breathing heavily, I noticed she was dressed in a halter dress and assumed she was heading to work."
Can't help but embrace her and sobbed in her arms.
"Hey, what's the matter?" she asks softly.
"Enrique... he's dead, " I said, and the way I uttered it and how it came out of my lips gave me shivers.
"Oh my god!!!" She is shocked also and she gulped, her tears streamed down on her cheeks and we can't go back to the time anymore that Enrique was still alive because he is really gone.
"I'm sorry…"
"Yes! He…left us already." My vision blurred as I cried and I wiped my eyes then I saw Alexander who was standing in the distance.
Johanna wipes her tears and her runny nose, "I will go to the hospital, I'm going to see him for the last time." Johanna said and she is running on her way to see Enrique.
Enrique was one of our childhood friends, that's why Johanna can't accept the fact of what happened to Enrique.
Alexander stopped my way as I wiped my tears away; I gazed at him while biting my bottom lip, and even though my vision blurred, I could see he offered me a handkerchief.
He just pulled me a hug and I embraced him, I encircled my arms to his waist, I suled my face on his face while crying.
People were staring at us, but I didn't care; he just made me feel better with his hug; I don't want to worry about anything else right now; it's my feelings that make me miserable for thinking that Enrique is finally gone and it's because of me, its because he protect me with those jerks that trying to do something bad to me.
"Desiree…we need to go now."
"Yeah. I should go." I said and walked away. He doesn't bother to chase me because he knows that I will keep pushing him away, he is not sorry at all for what he did to me and now he is here to comfort me? I don't need him.
I ran and ran till I couldn't feel how heavy my chest felt. I knelt down, and the rain began to fall again. I sigh sadly, knowing that I have a lot to say to Enrique but that he won't be able to hear it again.
When I got home, I saw the cops questioning me, but I didn't want to talk to them because they already knew who the criminal was, and they wanted me to make a fake statement so that those evil folks could get out of jail.
"Can you tell me what you want? Do you think that punishing the giving false statement of those scumbags is justice? My assertions are true. They were the ones who killed Enrique!" I screamed at the cops.
"But the parents of them-"
"I don't care about their parents, even if they are super rich! I do not care! I want justice!" I bravely said, I stood up on my own feet because they are so annoying, they want to force me.
"Get out! Officer!" I said and opened the gate wider. Then Alexander arrived, "What are you doing here?" I ask him.
Some of the police bowed their heads as soon as they saw Alexander, so is this justice now? Only those who have money can have justice? I will not get that passed. I clenched my fist when I saw them walk away and left me with anger fuming in my nose.
I kicked the ground because of my frustrations, just an hour later before the incident happened and now they are here to ask me to make a false statement. How dare they?
"Hey, just calm down," he said.
"What are you doing here? I don't want you here." I said and closed the front door. I am leaning my back on the door while crying silently.
"Enrique…" I sobbed as I mentioned Enrique's name.
It's so hard to say goodbye to him.
