***Goodbye, I’m Dying Now***

As my life fades away I hear things that I’ve been waiting for. You’re my bestest friend Rochelle…
"LOOK OUT!!"

I lay in the ambulance
Looking at the light above my head
Watching paramedics
Rush around to help me

"Its ok I’m gone"
"Pardon"

They whisper trying to figure out what i said
They try and help me stay alive

I’m in the hospital now
I know
Cause I don’t hear the roar of the wheels
The white blankets
That smell like a calling of death
There’s people by my bed
My friend Rochelle
And boyfriend Jessy.
Do they know I’m dying?
Have the doctors told them?

"Ya Andrew does like him"
"Oh really, don’t ever tell her if she wakes up"

I smile to myself
Oh really
Jessy lied to me
He’s probably done that more then once
I know with this information
I may now leave
He lied to me
There’s no point in me living now.

"Is she waking up"

My eyes flutter open
Jessy stares at me
He’s wondering if I’ve been listening
He soon gets his answer

"You bastard" I yell as I throw my cup at him
"no Jen don’t"

It smashes into his face
The blood trickles down his face
I look up at him
Can he see the tears in my eyes?
What’s he hiding behind his back?

"I’m sorry Jen"

Rochelle’s crying
Don’t cry Ro I’m not gonna hurt you

I see what he’s hiding
A knife
Shining in the light now

SLICE!!

Rochelle’s sobbing now
My eyes flutter open one more time
He kisses me one last time then with eyes wide
Falls to the ground and ravels
Rochelle
With a different knife

I know you tried to save me
Your I little late but thanx

"Googdbye Ro"
"Don’t go"
"bye"

Tears in her eyes before I fall

"Bye"

I’m gone
I will miss you forever Rochelle
