Creative Writing: The Ending And The Beginning

The Ending and the Beginning

November 25, 2012. That day, or should I say night that changed everything. My best friend/sister of six years decided she no longer wanted to be friends with me. She looked me in the eye and said, “It’s just not the same.” Most people would say that’s not such a big deal, it happens all the time. In most situations it wouldn’t have been a big deal but that night I would soon realize that my life was going to spiral out of control and I was going to witness a domino effect like no other. I have to start from the beginning to tell the end. Casey and I met in fifth grade we instantly hit it off and became extremely close rather soon.

So I did. He had one of those smiles that just made you feel warm even in the worst situations. He was sweet and kind and helped me get thru the days at school when I was alone. I slowly started healing a little every day, with the comfort of him by my side. It shocked me how close we became with each other. Paule wasn’t just my boyfriend he was my true best friend that I had been missing for years. Two years later, Paule and I are still together and love each other very much. I realize I can never do anything comparable or thank him enough for what he did for me, but I will always try. Looking back to that Sunday night with Casey; I know it all happened for a reason, and I wouldn’t change a thing even if I
