I thought friends were deep secrets and sleep-over parties, die-for-you, that’s what I saw in stories. And I always wanted it. But I’ve found that friends are the number you can call even if you don’t know what to say, they are the ones you go to Walmart with, the ones who call you to carry up a good chair they found by the dumpster, the ones you stop over for a few minutes and then it’s midnight.
Friends. That’s what we are. No, what we were. Now we’re…something else, something less, nothing? I couldn’t wrap my head around what had happened. It was too painful, too soon. But, standing here outside the school gates I knew it was all about to hit me again, like a wave crashing down pushing me to the bottom of the ocean, smothering me. I took a breath, held my head up and walked through the school gates.

He was an old friend, so when he knocked on her door in the middle of the night, she let him in. He told her about the final fight that he had with his wife, and how he couldn’t live with her anymore. She became suspicious about what happened when he pulled out the gun.
