PROLOUGE

Out in the mist was a sillouett. The sillouett of a man. He was coming closer. He was holding something. It looked like a knife. I was frozen in fear. My best friend, Emily, was beside me. I looked over at her, she was crying. I looked around and saw nobody else but that man. He was so close now, I could hear his breath. I shut my eyes. Suddenly, I heard a scream from beside me. I felt something wet on my arm. I heard footsteps running behind me. I opened my eyes and looked beside me. Emily was lying on the floor in a pool of blood. She was bleeding a lot. I gasped and screamed in horror. 'EMILY! EMILY WAKE UP!' She didn't answer. I bent down and checked her neck for pulse. No pulse. I couldn't believe it. Emily. My only friend, dead.

CHAPTER ONE

‘Ella! It is time to get up! Up! Up!’ Yelled my Mum, forcing me out of bed. I dragged myself up and looked at my desk. My framed picture of Emily, my murdered best friend and I hugging and smiling at school camp when we were 9. Now, I am 13. So was Emily when she was murdered 2 weeks ago. Today is my first day of year 8. I don’t know how I will cope without Emily. She was my only friend. Well, the day she died, we were at the Mall together. We were having a great day, but then it was closing time. Outside, it was misty and dark. Mum called me on my Mobile Phone and I said Emily and I will catch the train home. We where on our way home from the station and we noticed a man was following us. We accidently made a wrong turn and ended up at a dead end. We stopped and turned around. That is when that stranger that was following us killed Emily and ran away. I didn’t see the murderer because my eyes were closed. All I saw was Emily’s body. Lifeless and Bloody. It felt like the end of my life. Whenever i look at that photo it brings me to tears. 'why couldn't he have killed me?' I thought. 'Why Emily?'

RING RING!
I began walking into class. Everyone was talking about Emily and asking me questions. Whenever they did, I burst into tears. Some people called me a baby, but some cried with me. I didn’t care what people thought about me. They’d cry too if their only friend was murdered before their eyes!
But, the death didn’t do anything to my popularity. I was still very unpopular. But, instead of having 1 friend, I have none. Crying was only one thing I did. Sometimes I felt really guilty. As if her death was my fault. I really wished that my life would just end. It felt like my life had no purpose anymore. Sometimes, I thought this was true, sometimes I disagreed. Right now, I agree. My life doesn’t have purpose. Now, my goal is to find a friend, to make my life have purpose. It’ll be hard, because nobody can be better than Emily.
All through the day, people teased me, or felt sorry for me. Some said ‘Haha! Ella used to have 1 friend, but now she has no friends! I didn’t think that it’d get any worse but HA! It has!’ The worse thing was that nobody stuck up for me. Why would anyone. Who would want to be friends with me?

CHAPTER TWO

I told Mum all about how I am feeling and what happened at school. She took me to a doctor the next day and the doctor said I am suffering depression. Mum hasn’t done anything about it yet, but I am allowed to have a day off school. What a relief. Right now, I hate my life. Since that incident, Mum never lets me walk on the streets alone anymore. She drives me to school everyday, she picks me up from school everyday and she will NEVER let me go ANYWHERE outside alone. I still see Emily’s sister Jessica on the weekends, but Mum walks me there every time. Jessica’s house is 7 houses away from my house. Jessica is in year 10 and she is really supportive. She is really upset about Emily too. I’d expect that seeing that Jess is Emily’s sister. Jess knows how it feels to lose a best friend. Her best friend moved to another country and she lost contact with her. But, Jess was popular, she has other friends, unlike me. Well, at least I have someone to talk to. Although, Jess is really busy at most times, so I barely see her. She is my only friend. Mum wanted me to be friends with her because the doctor said that I need something to be happy about and I am happy that someone actually cares for me beside my mum. My Dad is in prison for something he didn’t do. One person he thought was his mate put Cocaine in my Dad’s back pocket when he wasn’t looking. The judge didn’t believe him when he said it wasn’t his it was his mates and he is locked up in there until I am 28 when he is released. Mum and I visit him every month at the jail. I have no siblings, although I wish I did and I have no pets. Mum is the only company I have at home. As you can see, I am not the luckiest person. But, the other family I have is my sponsor child in Africa. When I think of her I think my life as amazing. I have money for food, water to drink and I have all these gadgets that in Africa all they have is little water and little food. I do the ’40 hour famine’ every year and don’t eat for 40 hours. It sounds hard, but it is rewarding. Emily and I always used to do it together, and at the 40 hour mark we would have a feast. We always had so much fun together…I really miss her…
School was harder the next day then it was on Monday. I always cried in class and everyone would yell ‘Are you done being a sook and ready to actually do some work?!’ But I couldn’t help it. I was so upset because when I did my work it always reminded me of Emily… or maybe it is just I never stop thinking of Emily…I don’t know. Still, nobody was my friend. We had a whole school tribute to her and I had to speak because I was her only friend. I was crying so much I barley spoke. I said ‘Well, Emily was my best and only friend. We used to spend every minute of the day together, and when she was killed (sniff) and I stood there (sob) looking down at her lifeless body (sniff) I just screamed and cried…’ I couldn’t go on. It was the hardest speech I had ever had to make. My life is so different without my best friend. I never thought she would have died.
The next day at school, Chelsea, the most popular girl at my school called Emily a mean name. I got angry and slapped her. The teacher saw me do it and sent me to the Principal’s office. Mr. Nanthonee is my principal and he is really strict. He doesn’t care if I am upset about Emily’s death. He always says that violence isn’t the answer and I just get angry at people sometimes. He gave me detention, not that I didn’t expect it. It was worth it.

Finally! The weekend! Jess and I are going to go and hang out at her house today (finally she has a day where she isn’t doing anything). She has a pool, and today is supposed to be hot so we are probably going to go in her pool today. But, thinking about it makes me cry. I am going to Jess’ house later, now I am going to go to the mall with my Mum and we are going to get lunch and get a present for Jess to say ‘Thanks for being my friend’. At the Mall, Mum spoilt me because she knew that I was upset. We bought Jess 2 tickets to the movies for her and a friend. Mum bought me 7 shirts, 5 pairs of jeans and 7 movie tickets for me and 7 friends; even if she does know I don’t have any. All I could bring was Mum and Jess. Later on, I went to Jess’ place and we went in the pool. We never talked about Emily, we just talked about school and we said which teachers we liked and which we didn’t. It was really fun. Not as fun as how Emily and I used to do in her pool. We always used to sit on LILO’s talk about the attractive boys in year 7 (When we were in year 7) and who we wanted to go out with. Life was good when eMILY was around.
