Conclusion
Things were never the same after that day.....with Chris gone things were
different...lonely. He tried so hard to make it but his body gave out...the doctor said he
wasn't really in good health after the beating he took from his pops before....they tried for
hours to revive him but his body steadily shut down. As for his father, he lived. Crazy
right? He isn't living the best life however...he's paralyzed from the neck down and was
ordered to a federal prison psychiatric ward where he will spend the rest of his days. He's
fully aware of what happened....it was such a sad sight watching him in that courtroom
remembering what happened as Ms. Brown and I testified against him. It was so hard
looking at him....Chris favored him so much. The following week at school there was a
ceromony held in memory of Chris where they retired his jersey....nobody could believe
he was gone....there wasn't a dry eye in the whole crowd...from the smallest girl to the
biggest guy..it was like everybody lost a close friend because Chris was cool with
everybody in school. Ms. Brown stayed for a little while longer before she moved
away...she couldn't stand to live in that house any longer....I remember the day I helped
her pack up the last of Chris' stuff...
"Lawd this boy has so much stuff..."
"Yeah..."
I was barely paying attention to Ms. Brown as I held onto one of Chris' jerseys...it smelled
just like him and I closed my eyes as I held it close to me...
"You can take whatever you like honey...tell everybody else the same thing...I have no use for it anymore..."
I nodded and thanked her as she packed the last of his stuff into boxes...she left to finish
packing her things and I sat on his bare mattress and cried....I couldn't believe he was
gone...my love was gone....as I gripped the edge of the mattress to stand up I felt
something under the mattress...
"This better not be a porno..."
I pulled out a tattered folder with a picture of me and Chris on it when we were
younger....I opened it up and found every little thing I ever gave Chris neatly tucked
inside of it...dried flowers to feathers we would find on the beach....I continued to look
through it laughing at the stupid pictures me and him would take together..I came to the
end and found a letter addressed to me dated for last week on the day he passed....I
carefully opened the letter...
I grabbed the folder and Chris's away game jersey and ran over to my house...I went into
my room and shut the door and put the dvd player in and laughed as I watched Chris on
tv fiddling with the camera...I swear this boy was something else...he finally set it up and
watched Chris crack jokes and be the goofball he was...I remembered the night he taped
this...we were hyper as hell and just acting stupid in his room...suddenly it cut to Chris
sitting at his desk....
"Well if your watching this....I must be gone.....I want you to remember me the way you just saw me...not like i've been as of late....plz remember me that way always duckie...I would say goodbye but that would be so depressing lol.....i'll see you later ma..
I smiled and cut off the tv...
"Later Chris..."
The End...Feedback plz
