Suicide chapter 2- The Downfall
Spring break was over and Carlos and I were the best of friends. He gave me a reason to continue my life and he always know how to cheer me up when I am down. Work always went by fast and we started hanging out at school. I even notice that we have math together but I never really paid attention.
Carlos birthday was coming up on May 25. He was turning 16, a year older then me. When it came, I got him a brand new PS3 game. It took my whole paycheck but it was wroth it when I saw his reaction. He was jumping up and down going crazy. He hugged me tightly and keeps on repeating I cannot thank you enough.
I never told anybody my birthday, even my parents do not know real birthday. They think that it April 4 but it March 5. I was thinking of telling Carlos but I do not know how.
When we were working the next day, I went up to Carlos and he look at me, wondering if something was wrong.
"Hey Carlos, there something I need to tell you."
"What is it Crystal?"
"You don't really know me like you think you do. I lied about my whole life, no, not my whole life, most of my life. I was adopted and my parents do not care about me but let me start from the beginning.
"It all started when I was three years old at the orphanage. I meet many families that wanted to take me but did not. That was until I met my parents now. They took me in because they knew that I did not belong there. When they signed the papers, I was happy because I had a family but I soon realize that it was the beginning of worst years alive.
When I first move in they did look after me and it seem like my life was turning around. That was until I turn eight when I got into trouble for setting my bed on fire. It was an accident; I did not know how to use my fire breath yet. When my birthday came, they did nothing. When it was April 4, they threw me a party. It was not even my birthday and the party was way below their usual party standards. They even started yelling at me for doing nothing.
"They even tried to give m-"
"Excused me, I'm ready to check out," a customer said.
"Sorry about that, I help you right now," I said as I walk to the register.
Once the customer was gone, I look at Carlos. He was rubbing his forehead with his claws as if he had a very big headache.
"Crystal, when is your birthday?"
"March 5th, I was born 1992."
"Why are you telling me about you life? What is it that makes you think I do not know you? You are my friend and I know a lot about you even though you have not told me a lot about you. I am very good at understanding people, Crystal. I can know more about you just by you saying a sentence. You're my best friend and no matter what happens, we will always be best friends."
"Thank you Carlos but let me tell you about the rest of my life."
"Okay then, please continue."
"Okay as I was saying my parents tried to give me away."
"If they ever give you back, tell me and I'll ask my parents to adopt you, witch they will in heart beat."
"Thank you, now only recently did my parents start looking down on me. They even started stealing money from me. Remember when I showed to work early two mouths ago."
"Yes, the day we became friends. I don't think I'll ever forget that day."
"Well when I got home I found a note on my door that said my parents are going to be gone for a week. When I went to my parent's room and saw a safe filled with money for my college fund. When I open it, I saw a note that said owe $50,000! I was mad but I tried to joke around to calm myself down and it worked a bit."
"Your parents sold $50,000 from you! Oh my god, I hope they get what coming to them."
"Me too, me too"
School was over and I was glad. No more homework and no more school: just time to relax and do anything I wanted. Since Carlos miss my birthday he wanted to buy me something even though we were not friends 'til after my birthday. He would not take no for an answer so I gave up on trying to talk him out of it.
We went to the mall June 20, it was a Saturday, and we look around. There was a lot of thing I wanted but I did not want Carlos to buy them for me so I told him to buy me a game or a CD by my favorite band, Dream Theater. I had all there CD's except for "When Day and Dream Unite," and "Falling Into Infinite." We first went to the music store in the mall and they had the cds. Carlos brought them, handed them over to me, and said "Happy birthday Crystal."
I was shock the store even had the cds. I spent three years looking for them everywhere , online, stores, and even the flee markets but I could never find them.
"Thank you, hey want to go get a bite, I'll pay."
"Sure, afterwards you want to go somewhere?"
"Do you want to go to the carnival or the amusement park?"
"Amusement park, I'm a big fan of roller coaters."
"How are roller coaters, I've never been on a real roller coaster before. The biggest one I have been on was for eight years old. It was very boring."
"They are very fun, let eat here first, it cheaper then eating over there."
"Okay."
After we ate at the food court, Carlos and I went to the amusement park. As we were crossing the street, a car was not paying attention and ran a red light. I was already crossing the street when I saw the car. It was too late, the car hit me, and I flyed through the air and landed heavily on another car windshield. I saw Carlos looking at me and yelling something in the air. I could not hear what he said and everything was soon turning black. I just relax and I did not fight: I knew that it was inevitable.
